Here's your guy...
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan seeks a Public Engagement Assistant. The incumbent functions in an extremely sensitive political environment in which an ongoing insurgency adds to the urgency of accurate media reporting to make key security decisions, which requires skill and tact when dealing with contacts, military officials, Afghan government, media and civil society representatives.

The cleaver thing is that it's not Communism, but rather Trotskyism that we are dealing with. Sure these groups like to toss around the term "Marxist" but the reality is that it's Trotskyism.
BLM claims to be a "Marxist" Organization, but look at how they work. First they create a climate of chaos by gathering protestors, then they toss in conflicting groups to start riots, then they force the local government to change their policies in order to fit with what they want. That's Trotskyism, create unstable society so that the people will flock to the state for protection.
This isn't about working for the benefit of the state like what Communism claims to offer, but instead this is about forcing people to either join the state or suffer. Look at what happened in Seattle last year with the CHOP/CHAZ situation. The group called Socialist Alternative was behind the whole thing. Their number two person is in charge of the Seattle City Council, and when you saw how the protests were happening, they would flare up if she didn't get her way, and calm down if the mayor and Police Chief did as she wanted. After the mess was done with the Police Chief started an investigation into this City Council member, and in turn the city voted to both strip the police department of funds, and revoke the Police Chiefs pay. They even told her publicly that her staying on the force will cause further defund efforts to continue.
The same tactics and groups were being used in many cities around the world. Socialist Alternative has offices in every major city in the world with the only exception being Moscow. I guess even after a century Russians still like like what Trotsky is selling.
