Communism is so terrible as a system of government that the U.S. has seen fit to forcefully intervene every time it’s been attempted.
Everyone is free to their own opinions, of course – and I’m not wholesale defending communism as it has been attempted – but I find it odd that something which is supposedly so awful can’t just be left alone to wither on the vine, and prove their point.

Chile and Nicaragua are examples of when the US intervened to overthrough a democratically elected communist government.
- slater 2y agoYou forgot Cuba.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoRight, Cuba. The tiny island the US is obsessed about. Cuba actually outperforms its non-communist former slave colony neighbors (Jamaica, DR, Haiti), which is especially impressive considering the never-ending sanctions from the US.
