I don’t remember saying that.
- snovv_crash 4y agoThe issue is that the Soviet Union was the other viable contender for superpower during the CIA-in-South-America days.
- carschno 4y agoApart from the superpowers, there were also significant political forces that were supporting democracy and social justice. On the other hand, both USA and USSR actively (and succesfully) fought them. I don't see any sense in calling either of the superpowers preferable in this context.
- solveit 4y agoThe point of the word "preferable", is that it means something different to the word "good".
- ethanbond 4y agoYes things could’ve been different and maybe better if you subtract huge amounts of reality (like the existence of rival empires)
- neonsunset 4y agoWhat makes you think democracy and social justice are compatible? What’s your definition on the latter?
- feet 4y agoDo you really think the CIA stopped being in South America?
