This one time my dad was talking about Karl Marx and said he was “born in Russia”, and I corrected him that he was born in Germany. And then he got argumentative and started spouting out other facts about “Karl Marx”, like that he overthrew the Czar and lead the Red Army…
Suddenly I realized… “Dad, you’re thinking of Vladimir Lenin, not Marx.”
My dad realized I was correct and replied: “Well of course you would know that.”
Would disagree with that. I’ve had conversations with random people who know about Allende, in fact I was once ranting about the CIA in a semi-public place (as you do), and one random guy piped in “yeah they even couped Allende in Argentina” which is definitely some high tier historical pattern recognition as far as real life randoms go. Didn’t talk much with the guy afterwards but I think it’s unlikely he’s a commie given where we were.
Now that it’s officially been 50 years, libs are ready to start adding it to their working knowledge of “bad stuff the US did in the past that we totally don’t do anymore”
