KGB tried the same, but they lost.

Last I checked living conditions actually improved in socialist states that USSR supported, while it was the US that ran around overthrowing democratic governments and creating mass poverty. Should learn some history.

Not only irrelevant, but also false.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Both relevant and true, but I'm not expecting to convince you of anything.

Living standards have nothing to do with KGB overthrowing democratic governments.

And I lived in a Soviet-overthrown country, as did my parents and grandparents... you don't need to convince me of anything.
