      Listen to the Trueanon Spycops episode.

      Absolutely terrifying.

      This was in the UK but undercover cops dated activist women for years and even fathered children with them.

        This happened in Argentina as well. A member of the intelligence services joined a Socialist party (IIRC, the PTS) and stayed in it for years, even had serious relationships with people within the party (He formed a family with a militant), all while he was passing information about militants and future acts. I will have to check back on it because it's an old story.

        The lesson is to not date within your org. Also be sus of anyone that's a gossip on internal drama or looks to be assigned to positions with access to bank accounts. RevOrgs also watch out for zealous dweebs that "Want to do something" (hint hint in minecraft).

            You mean like you comment “man I love xyz band” on the Internet but don’t ever mention them in real life, and then somebody in an org tries to connect with you over the band because they’re a fed that’s seen your internet activity? Haha that’s pretty clever

      I agree. I am finding good luck so far in PCUSA. Just recently became a candidate and it has the least amount of red flags (idk if I have seen any yet tbh). CPUSA is revisionist and lib, I’ve heard bad stuff about the PSL process, and I’m not a Maoist (but do read and take lessons from Mao).

      Idk, I guess if I’m gonna die I’m gonna die doing what I believe in and trying to help fellow workers.

        What bad stuff have you heard about the PSL process?

          From other people’s experiences it usually involved never receiving a call, having to try and hunt down a contact from the party, or just didn’t seem interested maybe. Some never heard back after their first call or anything. Some claimed having to jump through hoops.

    Cant wait for it to come out that Karl Marx was an FBI agent sent back in time to create communism so he could catch communists.

      More likely than you think. How are you going to catch communists if there is no communism?

        The CIA time traveled to invent communism to justify the invention of the CIA. The ultimate funding con!

    The show Deadbeat did a good bit on this where they had a swedish terrorist group that was made up entirely of planted agents of government agencies and none of them knew it.

    Just be suspicious of parties/groups that devote the majority of their time attacking the current target of the USA. I'm talking about groups like Lausen.hk, they started spamming their anti-China stuff all over left platforms when the HK protests were being pushed by the Western Press.
