Hello Everyone,

There appears to be a lot of confusion about the factors that go into
radical opinion change as done by totalitarian organizations. The
following url has a list of the eight factors for "thought reform" from
R. J. Lifton's "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism" with a
description of each.

Of course, Lifton is writing of the Chinese Communist program of
re-education, but if the shoe fits . . .
