It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is literally the timeline where the US backed "christian democrats". Those motherfuckers are far right too
and christian democrats are evil!
social democrats are controlled opposition liberals but they aren't ideologically against basic human rights for minorities
Ho's ChadProduct of the US school system.
There are allegations that the CIA funded Castro in the lead up to the revolution, although obviously the CIA is silent on this.
That was probably just a case of 
I'm going to fucking scream
Imagine thinking they ever did anything remotely close to that.
NED and other "civil society organizations": 
The CIA did fund the Finnish succdems, but that was when the USSR was still around, so now you're SOL.
Tbf I don't find this prospect unthinkable since some far-right parties in europe aren't quite as aligned with american strategy as others.
For example Le Pen (who is almost certainly winning in 2028), the german AfD and Orban have dissented, in different measures, to the establishment's position on ukraine and china. If a far-right party were to reach power in one of the big EU countries and they were expected to shift europe away from the US I don't see why the americans WOULDN'T interfere.
I think it’s the other way around. Michael Hudson said back in the 1970s the people from the State Department already told him that they knew the challenge to US establishment in the future would come from the European left, not the right, so they spent decades infiltrating every soc dem and leftist party and promoted US-leaning politicians groomed under their wing.
They were never worried about the far right, nor should they be, because the European far right will never pose a real challenge to the US or capital. If you really want proof, look at Meloni’s Italy.

I feel like there's an implied "but" after "countries"
That might just be me giving it a generous interpretation

European center-right parties, the US really liked backing them as the "palatable" anti-communist parties post-WWII.
Thanks; sounds like they've already got all the Langleybucks they can handle.
They probably do. They’re also, unsurprisingly, very socially conservative, I think they’re usually equivalent to like tories, Australian labour or Canadian conservative. It varies by country though
The Mujahideen were simple country anti-imperialists
