It can be in the format of documentaries, articles or books. I would like to know more about this other side.

Wikipedia has a list which isn’t specific to that or complete, but still might be a good starting point.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To be clear, that's with respect to regime change, not general interference like biological warfare or mass bombing campaigns, slaughtering civilians, etc. Or other standard US war crimes against lefties worldwide.

Yeah. It’s not a perfect fit but there’ll be a certain amount of overlap and all sorts of fascinating stuff in there.

Best to ask your question on hexbear or lemmygrad. I'm sure that there are at least a few people there that will have answers for you

Nah, asking here will get much more reasonable lists.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think you'll get more of a highlight list of the really atrocious actions by the west - there were some absolutely awful actions taken "to defeat socialism".

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't see why Lemmy.ml would be better than Hexbear or Lemmygrad in listing US interference.

I, too, am curious 👀

“Killing Hope” was written by former intelligence officer Bill Blum (think that was the name) and details such operations (though not limited to socialist countries).

I’ll try to find some links on the subject and edit my reply to include them but it may be a day or two.

Thanks for the suggestion

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

Some of that info was declassified/made public.

[–] TheBigBrother@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's classified.
