Lol cope more
Communism killed itself, which is good because it has an almost 100% track record of turning into dictatorship.
(Capitalism is working on killing itself but hasn't quite finished the job yet)
The USA embargoed the shit out of communist countries, sent CIA spies to destabilize their government and sabotaged them. Are you forgetting the Vietnam war and the countless wars that the USA waged on South America? They fucked Cuba hard and Venezuela and Ecuador and… But sure, it was communism itself… That is what the decades long brainwashing propaganda the CIA has been using in their Red Scare tactic to keep the population from ever wanting to demand communism.
As per my previous message
Sounds kind of silly here. Capitalist governments specifically fight to prevent communism from taking hold. The question is do they turn into dictatorships on their own, or do they turn into dictatorships because outside entities are pushing them into more desperate levels. All governments when they are being threatened by another nation turn authoritarian.
I don't think anyones arguing outside nations didn't do major actions towards sabotaging every attempted communist society. To me that's a bit like saying homosexuality is bad because of the high rate of suicide among the LGBT. Ignoring of course that it's not being LGBT that makes you suicidal, but the actions of people on them.
Except the Soviet Union was already a dictatorship, as was Cuba etc.
Sweden was almost like a "good communist" country in the eighties, (heavily socialist democratic) but no communist country seems to want democracy so inevitably like all other forms of governances it turns into a dictatorship.
