    Cool thing to note is that the most important reason why India-Pakistan partition was supported by British is that Nehru was not gonna allow foreign military bases on Indian soil. Pakistan creation helped bolster first the British and then the American military presence to contain USSR. This is why America continues to have such an influence in Pakistan.

    Now this Pakistani dude is coming over to his masters and asking them why the ones trying to overthrow the yoke are such savages.

    “Greetings, I am from Pakistan and I’m just letting all of you know that their people 100% approve of US intervention in their country. I mean, my country. Any socialist uprisings you hear about over there are just violent thugs, just like Stalin, don’t you hate that guy? I heard he ate a baby once, for breakfast every morning! What an evil guy! Anyway, if you hear anything about Pakistani people organising behind a socialist party, it’s because they’re being tricked by thugs, not because they are trying to deal with a US backed coup. I know this because I am from [insert country here] and am not an obvious agent of the US government.”

    Always that old “Stalin killed the old Bolsheviks” line. Stalin was longer part of the Bolsheviks than any of the “old Bolsheviks” they claimed he killed for no reason.

    During colonization of India and Pakistan commies were generated from upper clases because they had the best education among all classes and they were liberated from religious and bigoted tropes which lower classes were very entrenched with. Even now in Pakistan and India it’s the same, the rural population is very bigoted while urban population had liberal minds (not all but more). Obviously commies were nationalists against imperialists and lib scammers . They didn’t want Pakistan to get into US military and economic sphere. South Asia, Japan and Korea we all have colonized minds. We all feel US/UK is a boon rather than a curse.
