The FBI agent added that he was worried the left-wing organization was on to him, as he’d already aroused suspicion by interrupting a meandering discussion of principles with a straightforward plan of action.
Lmao
wasn’t there fbi report they can’t infiltrate anarchists? :think-about-it: cant kill a leader, if you have no leader :think-about-it:
They said it's too hard, because it requires too much reading, and also they can't be bribed because they don't want to live particularly wealthy lifestyles.
That's what I remember as well. That it basically required a lot of time for potential agents to actually read through tons of material to be able to be credible in conversation; too much time.
I'd also be amazed if, among the whole of potential :fedposting: they tried this with (if they ever would), a few wouldn't actually turn based on the reading alone.
There are likely a few double-reverse-quaruple-agents in the FBI.
I mean, that is literally the reason anarchist activist groups work the way they do. The weird, loose affinity groups that rarely coordinate directly and emphasize using a different identity for different organizing with only a handful of formal organizations for purely legal actions (generally with individuals not involved in coordinated actions outside of them - see the General Defense Committee for a common institutional example) thing is explicitly to make infiltration and large-scale disruption of operations impossible.
