    I have no idea how showing a bunch of peaceful movements that got slaughtered “makes your point for you.”

        “Violent revolutions” like when Mossadegh was democratically elected? Or Jacobo Árbenz, again, being democratically elected?

        You are making my point for me. Westerners are so ignorant of the histories of these countries that it doesn’t matter how peaceful they are. You’ll just assume that they’re violent based on nothing. How are you supposed to win public support when the public doesn’t know you exist, and doesn’t care if you live or die?

          You were talking about the CIA overthrows of said leaders. All were violent revolutions. Including the 2 you list.

            Either you’re just ignorant and doubling down to try to cover for that, or you have an incredibly low standard for what counts as “violent revolution” to the point that there’s no reason to listen to anything you say, because evidently voting for a peaceful leader is a “violent revolution.”

            Not sure who you’re trying to fool, or if you’re just utterly delusional. Par for the course for an anti-communist either way tbh.
