    all i can find is that the CIA used Radio Free Europe to communicate to the independence fighters that the NATO allies would support their uprising. then when Hungarians revolted, they found themselves wholly unsupported.

    do you have any good articles showing this to be a color revolution? because this reads to me just about what happens when a fascist org (CIA) co-opts international solidarity in order to thwart real change from ever getting organized, something they were very fond of doing throughout the cold war leading to devastating effects in the global south

      The biggest tell is that, whatever potentially well-meaning elements among the original movements, ultimately Nazi collaborators were let out of prison, and the counter-revolutionaries were lynching Jewish people and communists, as I elaborated on here. There’s also evidence of MI6 arming and training Hungarian insurgents.
