Orrr the US overthrows their government and replaces them with a fascist regime or monarchy whenever there's even a hint of socialism. Latin America, Asia, post-ww2 Europe... they have a tendency to do that a lot.
The only ones we know of are all authoritarian regimes because they're the only ones which actually have enough resistanace from outside interference to not fall victim to the USA's shenanigans. Democracies are extremely vulnerable to outside influence / bad actors, and when you have the most powerful country in the world working to destroy your democratic government, without the centralization to resist that it's no use fighting back. We created this problem.
