It's not a CIA op, it's that America is incredibly indivualistic and defined by enlightenment values. Anarchism is a much easier fit for those with preexisting liberal beliefs than any later developed variant of marxism. Trotskyism was also popular in the west for similar reasons due to the same individualistic desire to be an ultra rather than a part of a winning entity.
Trotskyism in latin america isn't really the same thing as it is in the US and the broader anglo world. It developed from the fact that trotsky himself lived in Mexico City, whereas in the anglo world it was just an anti Stalin position but from the left.
S. Anerica was also colonized and has a coastline and historically anarchism spread through the ports mostly. Those two things together would be my best guess. That and the influence of the Magonists in the Mexican Revolution.

Why are Anarchism and Trotskyism so popular in Latin America? Isn't Latin America more kin and ancestor focused than the US of America?
Or am I using a social science definition of Individualism when you mean something different?
