Joseph evidently uses American support as a litmus test for whether a group is counter-revolutionary. On that basis, both Mao Zedong and Hi Chi Minh were counter-revolutionary for getting arms and training from the OSS during WWII.
This kind of reductionist thinking is very seductive for non-Marxist radicals like Joseph Catron.
