I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA was involved, but this was against the French in Burkina Faso

@Cobra Commander Therefore chile isn't relevant in this.

"was aware of coup-plotting by the military, had ongoing intelligence collection relationships with some plotters, and—because CIA did not discourage the takeover and had sought to instigate a coup in 1970—probably appeared to condone it"

@DA GOMMIE JOO I was talking about burkinia.

oh shit my bad

that one is pure conjecture on my part

@Deleted User I only mentioned this because they're both instances of the military revolting

@Cobra Commander Okay? And the sepoy rebellion was also a military revolt, shall we mention them?

These were against socialist leaders

You see where I'm going with this

@please refer to new discord Ironic marx is living luxoriously.

its meant to be funny

@Cobra Commander What the fuck? Did you really just state that the sepoy rebellion was against socialist leaders?

No @Deleted User

The Sepoy Rebellion has nothing to do with this

@Cobra Commander Clarification would have been nice.

I thought I was clear

To better clear this up tho

@Cobra Commander You thought wrong.

The coup against Allende and the coup against Sankara are only being brought up because you have socialist leaders being betrayed by the military, both times because of some sort of imperialist influence

Chile because of the CIA and Kissinger

Sankara because of the French

@Cobra Commander I think you are forgetting that in africa military coups happen all the time, despite ideology, remember the military coup against mugabe several months ago that was successful?

You're kinda right there, also tbh fuck Mugabe

Espcecially when the government was weak in the case of burkina.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Nothing is perfect either. But Sankara was literally trying his damndest to improve the nation. Besides, not like liberalism or tribal bullshit would get them anywhere

@Cobra Commander And he failed for the most part, and as a result the militarh revolted and took power.

But he gets an A for effort.

No sense in not trying, that's for sure

Yet his efforts were in vain.

I need to stress that it's not like he was going to achieve communism anyway. But damn if he sure didn't try to uphold socialism. Certainly better than what came before.

@Mr. X

Liberalism is vapid, blind and impotent

@Cobra Commander Getting above mass death is not much of an achievement.

I need to ramble about this too; Israel at this point shouldn't really have a right to complain about anti-semitism

Because quite frankly, they've actually helped spread it
