> Communism is so terrible as a system of government that the U.S. has seen fit to forcefully intervene every time it’s been attempted.

not exactly

the US and communist Russia were allies in WW2; the US did intervene in Korea and Vietnam but that was about maintaining a global edge over Russia -- Americans didn't give a fuck about whether it was good or bad for the people of Vietnam

Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan were communist.

Chile and Nicaragua are examples of when the US intervened to overthrough a democratically elected communist government.

Right, Cuba. The tiny island the US is obsessed about.

Cuba actually outperforms its non-communist former slave colony neighbors (Jamaica, DR, Haiti), which is especially impressive considering the never-ending sanctions from the US.
