That infiltration doesn't work. Yes, trying to change the military or police from the inside is likely doomed and even just trying likely means you cover your hands in the blood of more comrades than you could save, but infiltrating any or every other state apparatus would be useful.
If the klan can insert themselves into the FBI and police everywhere to ensure their own safety I feel as leftists we could find things like firefighting or paramedic/ambulance or nursing that can absolutely shut down the state by refusing to assist reactionaries when the time comes.
Imagine the cops not getting flaming precincts or city halls put out, or hospitals refusing to tell police if a patient was involved in protests. I feel like that stance would actually shift public opinion to realising those who want to save lives are with one side and those who want to kill and imprison are on the other.
Ask the Shining Path for their opinion on whether infiltrating the power workers was effective. It's a potentially quite useful tactic when applied to groups that are proletarian in nature and not class enemies.
Changing the military from the inside probably will never work in the American context but having a few high ranking figures be clandestine comrades could make a world of difference in case of a revolution or civil war breaking out. As always it's about a combination of tactics each supporting each other and not a single magic bullet.
Absolutely. Sometimes the difference in outcomes is down to a single fork in the road. This is why nothing should be off-limits or considered impure or unsavoury. We need everyone to push according to their abilities and for some their abilities lie in subterfuge.
