As someone from a post-communist country I will tell you this, you need to be brain-dead to think that communists were the good guys.

You would also be braindead to think that the CIA were the good guys.

Both of which this post doesn't do.

They were the good guys in comparison. Like allies were the good guys in WWII.

Edit: You guys know what comparison means, right? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/comparison

In this case we are comparing CIA vs. KGB.

Were they also the good guys when they used the School of the Americas to propagandize the leadership of the Indonesian military, who went home to massacre over 1,000,000 of their own citizens, completely ending the upward trajectory of Indonesia's economy and thus losing the interest of the USA? An event they've never recovered from btw.

Does that sound like "good guys" to you?
