    What is interesting is that the wife of CIA director Allen W Dulles was completely smitten with the Latin American country. In the archives, there are several pictures showing her over there, visiting Maya monuments, local markets, and the interior of the Dulles home at that time was largely decorated with fabrics etc. from Guatemala. My guess is the Dulles brothers were terribly afraid there would be a spill over to all the other "banana republics". They were totally convinced Arbenz was a puppet in the hands of Moscow, it was inconcievable to them that this tiny country could have a mind of its own. The Dulles revenge didn't stop with the coup, the Arbenz family was harassed once they returned from their exile in Czechoslovakia.

      Doesn't change anything, he was also a nationalist and wanted the best for his people. The CIA could care less about the political or economic system/ideology you're aligned with as long as you're working for their interests
