I dont know if your question is an honest one, but the same as always, money for their candidate, media campaign against the left candidate. 25 or 50 years from now, the exact how will be declassified, then the liberals will say, "This was long ago, cia don't so this anymore," while Cia is still doing it...

As a South american I just can't disagree with this...

The only time we had a true left government CIA overthrow it... We just hope that Allende never again 🥲

Critical support for comrade Marco Rubio, doing his best to destroy the US from inside

Okay, I'm a Brazilian atheis but let me give u some trivia about Brazilian catholic church and the liberation theology.

The Brazilian catholic church backed the military coup in Brazil in 1964 but a lot of their members were actually left wing and a lot were communists. One of the most famous was the bishop Dom Helder Camara. He once said something like "if I give bread to the poor they call me saint, if I ask why they don't have bread they call me communist".

The first UNE(National students union) congress after they were banned was held in a church's basement and was heavily supported by local priests. UNE was banned because it was heavily dominated by a lot of communist parties and tendencies as well as other left wing parties. Most of the best, and worst, left wing politicians we have were in UNE in the 70s and 80s.

That being said, this monument is easily the most recognizable we have right now so I totally understand the choice.
