The cold war was seen in the Western World as the struggle of freedom fighters (U.S. backed guerrillas and armies) against the evil empire (Soviet-backed guerrillas and armies). The poem indicates it was just gang warfare; that's what I meant by analogy.
"The CIA and the Mafia are in cahoots against the commies" refers to tactics used by the U.S. Government in collaboration with the mafia to inflict damage on the other side. I never attached the world analogy to this part of the poem.
