Liberation Theology and the KGB
I’m sure the KGB would like to take credit for liberation theology, planning the world’s rebellions against capitalist exploitation from the Kremlin, but no one should take the claim of an ex-KGB agent on this issue seriously at all. Liberation theology is a complex movement that had many roots, including the deep injustices faced by the workers and peasants of Latin America who were revolting against imperialist oppression before the KGB was a gleam in Stalin’s eye. I’m sure the KGB supported liberation theology but to claim it created it even more spurious that the American side of the Cold War saying Reagan defeated communism.
