Reading about operation gladio def makes me paranoid about what America would look like if a communist party ever became a threat. The cope I have is that:
I think I would be more afraid of a purging of communists under Biden than Trump
Normal cops are not capable of usefully infiltrating PSL. Our vetting is thorough, expectations for commitment are high, and our democratic centralism is impossible for a single shithead to derail - you'll just get booted if you always gum up the works. And the amount of time you'd need to be in to get any useful secret intel beyond "wow these communists sure have a lot of planning meetings and public events" is literally years. We have worked very hard to build a hard organization and actively study the tactics of COINTELPRO and other state disruptive strategies.
This is really hopeful to hear
Yea I meant that cops would be way less effective than the FBI
Became a threat again.
Because the black panthers were enough of a threat to jail and murder a bunch. Similarly they put CPA leaders in prison during the red scare. And before that killing and arresting various IWW leaders.
