I’ve read many discussions in which certain ideas are denounced as CIA sabotage. I find myself torn between the two camps that form whenever this happens, usually because I have no idea what a CIA psyop actually looks like and have no reference for what a Marxist solution to, say, the question of what anti-colonial society actually looks like. It’s not an easy question, and it’s made all the more murky with the knowledge that plants and saboteurs absolutely exist.

Is there an ascribed methodology to identifying CIA propaganda?

    Does that just mean that any attempt to change the superstructure at all is a psyop?

      That’s an interesting question. Is changing a law a psyop? The law exists outside of the mind, so to speak, but also it doesn’t create a physical battlefield change, so it could be.
