The only reason you can legally have a communist party in the U.S., for example, is because this already happened decades ago:
Meddling and coup attempts by who? Ukrainians? Poles? Who the fuck couped the US? Are you high?
The FBI did plenty of "meddling," to put it lightly, with American leftist groups. Leaders of these groups were targeted in various ways, including assassination (see Fred Hampton).
The repression coming from inside the house didn't make it any less repressive.
Seems like you haven't read what happened with the Black Panther's leadership.
In case you are interested in reading the context behind MarxMadness comment, you can search for the COINTELPRO program, which aimed to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" groups like the Black Panthers.
OMG of course I know what happened to Black Panthers, this doesn't explain why you can't organise two generations later. Read Sakai or Zak Cope.
It does explain why people can’t organize two generations later in the imperial core and exhibit all of the characteristics within the Red Sails article. Hell, it even explains why some if not most communist parties in the global north lack any revolutionary spirit and are just reduced to some socdem party(example Communist Party of Japan).
The cointelpro program never died but evolved to disturb popular movements and organization at this moment. The red scare lives on. However, fortunately, all of this doesn't apply to the same extent for the Global South.
This is asinine, labour organisers get assassinated in the Global South.
It is not asinine at all. It is true that labour organizers get assassinated in the Global South but this is done with the help of the imperialists. Just take a look at the history of fascists dictatorships in latin america to see this unfold.
With this in mind, places where the imperialist influence is currently weak show a fertile ground for socialist revolutions and this is actively happening in the Global South.
