It always pains me to see declassified CIA docs admitting to lies and the public at large acting like it’s out of context, contradicts with what they learned in history class or is photoshopped :agony-limitless:
I learned from Ray McGovern that the CIA is essentially two agencies: operations and analysis. The operations department does all of the black ops, psy ops, coups, etc. Analysis just investigates and tells it like it is, because you need to know what the truth is before you can construct a convincing lie. This document was probably produced by analysis.
Given what we know about the CIA controlling academia it is more accurate that engineering firms are structured like the cia
Why would western powers want the USSR to abandon “collective leadership” in favor of streamlining their power organization
Also because keeping stakeholders out of decision making is destabilizing. Capitalists disinvest, workers strike, bureaucrats gatekeep, and everything falls apart. The key is to give your subjects and constituents just enough that they don’t revolt.
