By simply blaming the CIA you're doing the same thing as the radlibs who ritually denounce any ml-state. It doesn't engage with the material at hand. It's capitalist realism. The inability to imagine anything other than the triumph of neoliberalism. You're conceding a battle before it's fucking started. Imagine an apolitical belorussian asking our community for advice. He'd be met with hostility when he's ripe for radicalisation. If every protest is a potential colour revolution then write about past movements and how they either fell for or how they managed to progress despite imperial interference.
