:::::Since the end of the Cold War, communism moved Westward. It always had a base in the West. The social unrest in the United States in the 1960s was Kremlin directed. Russia today has no organized global reach that it had with Communist parties all over the world that it had prior to 1991. The West through its various NGOs and other vehicles, including a vast media/propaganda apparatus, does have such a reach. And it is dominated by the same nihilistic Leftist ideology that dominated the Soviet Union and Comintern, using much the same revolutionary organizational techniques. The CIA owes much to the KGB, which essentially was its schoolmaster. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Ich bin ein breakfast taco]]</sup> 19:52, October 7, 2022 (EDT)

::::::<aside>by "nihilistic Leftist ideology" I am not talking about anti-capitalist ideology. I am referring to undemocratic totalitarian rule by a governing elite. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Ich bin ein breakfast taco]]</sup> 20:05, October 7, 2022 (EDT)
