Listen, he gave the land back to the people of the country…Yes, a very small percentage of people owned the majority of the land. If you think it is wrong that he was trying to help his people that is beside the point. The point I made was that the U.S got rid of Arbenz and implanted a MUCH WORSE government. Once again McNugget, you have done a fantastic job dancing around the main points I have made
So now McNugget, you have to ask yourself, was it such a horrible crime that Arbenz gave land back to the people that he deserved to be “ousted” and as a direct result Castillo Armas and others murdered hundreds of thousands of people in the following years?

All you have to do is look at the past. How many times has the U.S overthrown a government or assassinated leaders only to implant a much worse government? Do the names Jacobo Arbenz and Castillo Armas mean anything to you? Or how about Joao Goulart and General Castelo Branco? How about Salvador Allende? Want more?
