Might be some of that, but it's easy to forget that they do have to try to suppress us. It's not like they can simply push a button and the leftist movement du jour falls apart -- effort and resources are required. They're usually successful because they have a ton of people and money to throw at us (and every potential roadblock is lowered because they're the government), but if the cost of suppression goes up and the number of people they want to suppress goes up, too...
Sometimes I think about the cops that infiltrated that tiny anti-war group in the UK and married and had kids with some of the members, and if they're willing to put that much effort into it, what could reading a little theory and engaging in a little banter be?
I always feel like they absolutely publish this stuff to make us more complacent.

I mean, if they really wanted, they could just post about how they flopped up with an actual progressive force (PSL, for example)
