Actually, this is what transpired in Africa. The violent intervention in Angola by the CIA virtually wrecked that country and taught the ANC the lesson that it is dangerous to go too far to the left. That is why it is now subordinating its economic policy to the dictates of the IMF. Louis Proyect (http://www.panix.com/~lnp3/marxism.html)
