Literally all they post is cool marxist stuff. It’s fascinating that they’ve been targeted.
If it really is russia that runs them then my suggestion to the russians is that they seek out western marxists who already run operations making and posting this content and drop money into those western marxists instead via several layers of obfuscation for deniability.
This is one of the examples listed in “Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent” by Harvey Silvergate. If I remember right, it was a small church doing a fundraiser for someone sick in their congregation. Feds show up and arrest the people running the fundraiser. Turns out money from the Lord’s Resistance Army (I think?) was donated to them.
Guess even warlords get the feels when they see Americans don’t have health insurance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We don’t have to know about it. There’s nothing stopping any actor from dropping funds into a patreon or liberapay through a series of shell companies and multiple accounts.
I would be surprised if several governments are not already doing this.
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.

That’ll actually get the feds knocking on our doors should anyone be dumb enough to accept foreign, or “foreign” (FBI entrapped) funding.
Trust me on this one, that is a very dangerous idea.

Bank robbing it is then!
Woo!
when and where?? and is there a dress code or just whatever looks cool?

i dunno tho… they’re armed aren’t they?
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

… You guys aren’t on the Kremlin payroll?
They don’t need to know about it if it’s coming in through patreon or whatev
