And this influence was also influenced western backed anti-Soviet jihadists (Mujahidin/fighters or whatever) during Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan.For those who maybe confused why NK (that many known as Marxist-Leninist) are selling or giving weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas (or maybe even PIJ) that has Islamist thought, anti-western imperialism is what unites them, forget political spectrum or worst, monolithic right-left no in between (not think political thought as spectrum) way of thinking.
PLO (Fatah, PFLP, DFLP) who was backed by the Soviet back during the Cold War was even trained Khomeini supporters before the 1979 event. If we see it through right-left lens, that didn't make any sense, but knows what united them, anti-westernism and the Shahanshah (King of the Kings; Persian honorary term for the king) could be seen as western stooge. But yeah, the Shah was an authoritarian that had a strong grip to Iran and didn't wanted any check and balances happen to him, a common dictator. And after the 1979 revolution, Israel delegation building used to housed Palestinian delegation. Also, Imad Mughniyeh who was Hezbollah then military commander was also an ex Fatah that served as PLO Force 17 back then.
Or how Gaddafi's Al-Mathaba cared nothing about ideology after the Cold War. Even some GAM that had no any Marxist thought at all reportedly trained by Gaddafi forces in Libya during the 80s, even before the Cold War ended.
They are for revolution against western world order or establish world order. A revolutionary against the contra revolutionary of western world reactionary.
Then Makhtab al Khidamat (now Al-Qaeda) Abdullah Azzam was known to spread antisemitism and anti-western sentiment even when US still gave the 'waqaf' to his friends, don't forget EIJ or like groups that also had anti-western thought and killed Saddat that according to them already bowed to the West. Understandable, he was originated from Palestine that was heavily influenced by Soviet (and its satellites) information warfare (propaganda and disinformations) that Ion Mihai Pacepa said and others also support/strengthen his report that the Soviet was spread the ideas of that jewist capitalism controlling the whole economy or whatever[1]. Tsarists with their Protocols of Elder of Zion must be smiling lol
