But the CIA carried out those coups, and they belong to a globalist state (the U.S.) rather than a genuinely nationalistic one... why would the CIA help an opposition in a foreign state if, as you contend, this opposition has an incompatible ideology (globalist vs nationalist)?
Also... did CIA-led coups really only ever take place at the requrest of fascist opposition groups, were there really never CIA coups initiated by the U.S. itself? My knowledge of this part of history is superficial, but that doesnt sound plausible.
One thing I can agree with is that the distinction between globalists and internationalists is super important, yet almost never made these days.
Because their philosophy was that it was easier to work with a right wing nationalist dictatorship than a democratically elected leftist internationalist government. It generally backfires on the US. Don’t forget the US was also responsible for Saddam Hussein, the Shah, Suharto, Diaz... the list is endless.
