I’m not familiar with the first but Allende’s socialist policies hit some big issues even before the US took it down and Guatemala wasn’t even socialist much less communist. So they’re good examples of US stopping leftist governments and social policies but imo not good examples of specifically communism working well.
I’m certain this is one. A democratically elected president wanted to redistribute land to the people. The US decides that it’s their business and installs a dictator, who then goes on to commit a genocide, which the US was perfectly happy with.
Does that count as communism working well when the president’s weren’t communists and weren’t implementing communism, rather just general leftist policies?
Well. There are basically 3 times when communism worked pretty well.
They all ended rather violently due to a ___-backed ____. (You know the words that go in the blanks.)
What are those three times?
“Basically” three. Cuz a reasonable person could disagree that all three are good examples.

CIA-backed coup is what I’m assuming the blanks are. Maybe that’ll help you research it.
I got that part but I wanted to hear what they consider the three times communism worked pretty well.
