For people who are not aware, a huge chunk of left wing guerillas across the world, from ~1924 until 1991, were funded and supported by the USSR.

Greece, Germany, Peru, Columbia, Angola, you name it, Soviet funded.

Some others were funded by China, but those were a minority.



Are the militias who were fighting against US- and CIA-backed dictatorships across Latin America part of this classification?


Yes, as were the militias that were fighting against US- and CIA-backed democracies.

Let's not be biased or naive and assume that the authoritarian USSR was all of a sudden only sponsoring socialist democracies around the world...


Peru? Come on. Sendero luminoso was Maoist.


And dont forget all the shit that cuba pulled. Oh boy they were busy.
