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.
