FBI: We have to stop leftist groups from accomplishing their goals!

Leftist Groups: I have excellent news for you!

I was involved in a cat shelter some years ago. This tracks, and that's at a properly structured charity with employees, a generous wealthy benefactor with too much free time to cover the cost of operations and so on. I can't imagine how disorganized actual left wing political organizations operating at the fringes of legality must be

No, unironically, this is the reason the FBI can't infiltrate anarchist organizations. There is no leader, and everyone is always attentive to OPSEC and suspects people who talk big shit or plan stuff that could endanger the safety of anyone within the group. The entire point of anarchism is an absence of central authority, so anyone who tries to take control or order people around OR support becoming subservient to someone within the group immediately gets dirty looks and is ousted or shunned.

Unfortunately, it's also what stops them from being effective at accomplishing their goals.

Not true. Every major anarchist territory that has been created in history was betrayed by Marxist-Leninists and their ilk and that's the main reason they don't exist anymore. Also, the Zapatista territories still exist and still manage to live quite peacefully in the areas they control in Mexico.

This is exactly what I hear when people rage against "antifa". There is no antifa. Just people who are against fascism.
