Reply #29: Another example would be Albania

The communist party held free elections in 1990 and won. Of course the opposition called for new elections and said the vote was unfair. New elections were held in 1992 and the western backed opposition won even though there were widespread reports of extreme fraud. The government immediately outlawed the communist party and privatized everything into pyramid schemes. in 97 it was revealed that most everyone lost their money due to this and it caused mass uprisings. People formed People's Assemblies like in Oaxaca and began taking over workplaces and government buildings..in effect attempting a return to socialism. In the Western press this was labeled as "chaos and anarchy" and NATO members such as Italy and germany launched a "peacekeeping" mission occupying and killing Albanians..the western press glowed with the fact that Germany was finally taking up arms again after World War 2. The entire region has been a mess.
