...So you pick up a history book to figure out US's angle

From Peter Dale Scotts: American War Machine-Deep Politics, The Cia and the Global Drug Connection, and the Road to Afghanistan

TL:DR the US turned Burma-Laos and Thailand into a heroin growing triangle (The Golden Triangle) much like they did with the Mafia in Sicily and Marseilles.

The Drug traffickers and drug money became a huge way of CIA to implant bourgeois ideology and suppress communists and the growing popularity of the PRC. They even used ex-Nazis as agents for drug smuggling. It also gave US unfettered access to Myanmars tungsten reserves.

This enitre coalition was directed at China of course.

      I’ve done nothing but criticize them.

      You just told me that centering US State Department infiltration in protest movements is "concern trolling." You have done everything but criticize them.

      Meanwhile, please tell me where I have supported the Thai military or monarchy. I already called out the largest Thai capitalist, he just so happens to support the protests.

          Yes. Some rando Westerner telling Thai activists, with all the problems that they have, what they need to center their shit on is concern trolling.

          I've spent the past decade organizing against US regime change operations branded as "Left-wing protest movements."

          If these Thai activists don't understand the strategy and tactics deployed in color revolutions, they will just carry water for the US State Department. It won't be the first time activists have done so.

          And your source on “infiltration” is unabashedly fash.

          The Nation and the US State Department's website are unabashedly fascist, I know. That's why their support of their protests is concerning me, and why I cited them.

          Literally please go Google “richest in Thailand”. You’re not even in the top ten.

          Google's list of "richest people in Thailand" has no bearing on the most powerful capitalists. Jimmy Lai, the largest capitalist in Hong Kong, is not publicly listed as the wealthiest person in Hong Kong either.

          Would you actually like Marxist analysis of Thailand?

          Sure, I'll read another Marxist analysis of Thailand.
