    Being a principled ML in the USA also gets you on a watchlist and raided by cops if you’re amassing enough power to do something. I don’t think anarchist orgs have had the same level of state scrutiny, but I don’t mean to say anarchists have had it easy. I work with a mostly anarchist org (Food not Bombs) and we get citations from cops nearly every week.

      IIRC the feds have had a harder time dealing with anarchist orgs because they’re more decentralized and harder to infiltrate from the top down.
