    Lets just say that the cost-benefit analysis for such actions aren't worth it for either parties and would act as a poison pill for recipients and as a form of blowback for the donor. Anything that makes domestic communist movements even give off the whiff of being foreign-backed poisons whatever credibility they wish to establish.

    I'm telling you this both out of historical precedent and from experience, seeking or accidentally receiving foreign funding of any sort is a bad idea for communists in the imperial core.

          In all seriousness, banks seem like a bad idea. Armoured cars though? They still seem vulnerable if you consider just how much of the security around them is theatre.

              So are the guards at the bank or the cops that show up within 5 minutes of the silent alarm being pulled.

              I don't actually think it's that different today to what Stalin was doing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Tiflis_bank_robbery
