Doesn't even need to be too left wing, JFK put a dictatorship in Brazil cause the center left president wanted to trade with China and refused to invade Cuba
Not only that but the word "communist" is brings out so much hatred to people in the US. Perfect propaganda.
yeah, and not just leftist. you can have the most liberal and bourgeois-backed nationalist project just to secure some kind of national sovereignty and there will still be a coup. Case point: Iran and Mosaddegh.
Imperialism will sap the wealth of countries and peoples for short term gains, regardless of the economic system.
