Being right about how power worked was sufficient to activate the termination signal. The label would follow. The operation would follow the label.

Kwame Nkrumah wrote a book called Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism in 1965.
In it he argued that formal independence without economic independence was not real independence.
That the control of a country's resources by foreign capital, even without colonial administration, was a form of continued domination.
The United States State Department sent a formal protest to the Ghanaian government about the book.
A formal diplomatic protest.
About a book.
The following year, while Nkrumah was on an airplane to Hanoi, the Ghanaian military staged a coup.
The CIA's involvement is documented.
The book was published in 1965.
The coup was in 1966.
The Americans protested the book in 1965.
He was overthrown in 1966.
The sequence is not subtle.
The idea that neo-colonialism existed was itself enough to trigger the mechanism.
You did not have to be armed.
You did not have to be Soviet-aligned.
You did not have to be violent.
You had to be right.
Being right about how power worked was sufficient to activate the termination signal.
The label would follow. The operation would follow the label.
This is the system that the word "communist" built and maintained.
It is still operational.
The word changes.
The sequence is the same.
