That's how it usually goes on real life though. The "good guys" are actually capitalist war mongers and the bad guys are radicalized individuals who used to hold more moderate views before the inaction of those in power drives them to violence and extremism.
This is the story with the U.S. vs most of its enemies in the past. We would literally intentionally breed instability in socialist movements, either by funding the other side, funding more extremist people to radicalize a movement in order to justify military action, or kill a moderate leader to leave a vaccine of power for more radical and militant groups to take their place. Usually a combo of all 3. Thanks Henry Kissinger you disgusting piece of filth.
