A mainstay of 5th Column Warfare is multiple silos or vectors of attack. There was a paper written decades ago discussing how reform within a paradigm of power is nearly impossible without support from 2 or more power paradigms. 5th column warfare is a means to subvert each paradigm of power simultaneously.

Paradigms of Power

1. Political

2. Media (the 4th Estate)

3. Military/Paramilitary (includes police)

4. Academia (includes Church)

5. Corporate (Big business/white-collar)

6. Workers/Union (working-class/blue-collar)

7. Shadow Government = private Intelligence Community (the 5th Estate/5th Column)

Reform vs rebellion, it is easier to use another arm vs a corrupt branch than to enforce reform from within a branch

(Or in the case of asymmetrical, 5th column warfare, corrupt them from one to the other).

4 stages of Suppression:

1. Criticize

2. Marginalize

3. Attack

4. Censor

Having used this as a basis fir my analysis for years, it should be obvious why I admire @politicalmoonshine's work.
