    Democratically elected socialist governments being violently overthrown by the US is an extremely well documented phenomenon actually, you should try reading a book about it some time

      The trouble is that it’s also an awfully convenient excuse for non-western authoritarian states to clamp down on so-called ‘color revolutions’, even when they are organic. And the fact this whole theory was concocted by Lydon LaRouche does not exactly add credibility. I acknowledge there have been obvious cases of this happening, but there’s also many examples of oppressive regimes blaming popular uprisings on “outside agitators”.
