You take not being subjected to say Marxism-Leninism at every stage of your life for granted.

These are crimes specific to their line of duty where they are attacked or intimidated into not doing their job.

No, of course no drug cartel, gang or disgruntled citizen would ever do such a thing, they are definitely not doing that in Mexico already after all.

Same reason that FBI agents' identities are classified - so that people who disagree with what a democratically established agency is doing to uphold the law don't go out intimidating or killing them.

But oil, gas and coal are indeed cool, you get some of the highest chemical energy density substances on Earth for the price of digging. It sucks that burning them reverts the atmosphere to something life isn't really adapted anymore, but the substances themselves are still pretty cool.

A survival guide won't answer a question, you need to search it for some sort of keywords, you might not be using the same term or not know what a particular thing is called, and might end up having to read all of it to find the info you need, or not find it at all.

Hundred thousands, maybe millions of people didn't die in commie repression due to this involvement. If anything, it didn't happen enough.

If by "succeeding" you mean destroying thousands or millions of people's lives by famine, labor camps and executions, then yes, it sure has.

Everyone remembers evil Pinochet who killed some 3k out of 11 million, nobody cares about kind Hoxha who killed at least 6k (likely closer to 100k) out of 2 million, or plushy Castro (10k killed + 70k dead trying to flee out of 10 million).
