I remember reading a story about how a Danish shipping company helped the communist DDR export weapons (perhaps including West European weapons) to Apartheid South Africa and bypass international sanctions, likely with the foreknowledge of the CIA given the Brits and French were likely also doing it.
Ridiculously complex, but for all the rhetoric and bullshit, whether it’s communists, capitalists, democrats, or theocrats, islamists, christian nationalists… but as you say they all worship that dollar.
