Not only did he do everything in service of the US empire, but there's not a single notable politician who disagrees with him or his agenda because it's also their agenda. Was he just the Trump before Trump, being indifferent about the optics?

Domino theory is stupid because it relies on the premise that nations turn to communism due to their proximity to other communist nations and not the multitude of other reasons they would choose to become communist. It’s basically “the communist mind virus” as a foreign policy. It’s not coherent at all and actively spits in the face of historical materialism.
Also, why isn't Thailand communist? Why isn't Khazakstan communist? Finland? Turkey? India?
Why did the nominally communist government in Cambodia get destroyed by Vietnam? Why no new communist government there? How about Burma?
It's clear from the following history that being adjacent to a communist state doesn't turn a state communist.
