any left wing group worth noting is going to be infiltrated by FBI agents. History and COINTELPRO have proved that. Unfortunately the FBI is really good at infiltrating these groups now and often their agents can acquire leadership positions with few difficulties. I would not doubt the FBI is involved.
their agents can acquire leadership positions with few difficulties
"Christ this is a ton of work and I'm only organizing part time. Hey, Jim From The Office-looking motherfucker, can you handle the website and maybe schedule a few events? Christ, so glad I've got Jim. I swear, it's like it is his job to be here."
They also stay on when infighting (that they often cause) happens and everyone else gets frustrated and leaves, giving them seniority, and making the electoral pool smaller when it comes time to elect people to positions. Not to mention that all of the plants strategize to vote en bloc.
There's a difference, though, between informants being in the org and informants leading the org. Everything the Austin MLM club does, when they actually do stuff, hurts the left and the "hoods" they claim to protect.
Even the good stuff they apparently did was, from what I've heard from someone who was in Austin at the time, largely taking credit for others' accomplishments. Like announcing a skirmish in advance, gaining the attention of reactionaries, not showing up, then claiming victory when reactionaries picked fights with neighborhood members and lost.

Some real among us shit
Anyone not phased by meaningless and petty infighting is sus.
"damn Jim always donates so much money to our events, of course we can trust him with leading a few projects."
