I feel it’s not really acknowledged just how big a role the cia has played in the history of MULTIPLE countries but also in the villainizing and supposed “failure” of socialism/communism.

Oh don’t get me wrong both systems have problems (especially communism) and there’s plenty of examples where it didn’t work even without the cia (mainly because the country itself was agrarian) but like nobody ever seems to acknowledge that maybe having the worlds greatest group of espionage agents designed to destabilized countries may have lead to the country destabilizing
