This makes me want to write a book about a communist using a time machine to create global communism, and the CIA agent with their own machine sent to stop them
Spoiler: The CIA agent realizes the error of their ways and falls in love with the communist, becoming one themself. They're both gay. They end up successfully creating a totally communist timeline where the CIA never existed and they live a long and happy life
Make the framing story the CIA agent writing their memoirs at the end of their life and their kids teasing them about how absurd concepts like "poverty" and "starvation" are and how that would never really happen.
