I wonder how much of cultural propaganda is supported by the military industrial complex. If they are adversarial countries/movements you can swap out military industrial complex with black market/informal sector. These allegedly illegal markets are basically monopoly cartels operating in a specific territory by some state. Either to cause instability or assert hegemony. They are ultimately markets that operate under capitalism to fund clandestine activities, of course with major international banks and legal systems turning a blind eyes to fit their profits and their altercations. Disgusting.
