[...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.” are nothing but a tool for cultural subversion.
Assuming he wasn't just making up a load of BS for the right to say the left are just tools lol. Something similar happens in Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich where Nazism was talked of as a form of socialism, but ****** had private meetings with corporate executives, and they did really good business during his reign in Germany.

It's not a good idea to look at Bezmenov's statement uncritically. He could have just been a right wing guy himself.
