Oust the liberals from academia

How would you determine who is a liberal and who is not? Also, you are risking ousting too many liberals there (consider the fact that people who already live well and want even more - like highly educated scientists, engineers, or famous performance artists - seem to be rather likely to be liberals) in the sense that ousting them would leave you with too little an educational and research, outputs.

and also prevent the dumbass spiral towards liberalization caused by Khrushchev's bloc's reforms

How? What actions would you take?

China was unique in that it had a massive well-educated population and at least some infrastructure ready to go

I hadn't considered that part.
