Curious to see how this will affect their sister orgs in other cities (Red Guards LA et. al.). RGA was obviously the dominant group even if officially they had no authority over the others.
I'm sure they were heavily infiltrated. I don't know if they were cops from the start.
A real bunch of LARPing edgelords maybe.
Don't do that please.
I doubt he'd care.
"Social fascism" isn't a thing.
PSL are military, not police.
It's deliberately copied from the kinds of things done by the actual Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. Because the lesson these people take away from the CR is that it was cool and definitely didn't cause an enormous popular backlash against leftism.
This actually reminds me of a very interesting fact I just learned. In certain port zones in Southern China, gangs are hired to vandalize residential buildings so that they'll be condemned and opened for commercial development. In response, there's a phenomenon of old ladies raised during the CR who gang up and throw bottles of literal shit at these vandals and hurl unbelievable verbal abuse at them. This is directly adopted from red guard practices.
Crackpot theory: Maoism is the true ideology of /r9k/ types.
You haven't been to a PSL meeting have you? All mentally unstable troons and their handlers/instigators.

Third world incels are the true proletariat.
INCEL GANG
They seem like the most obvious feds on earth, I don't known it for a fact, but I seriously doubt they were anything but a honeypot
This. Best not to badjacket, but if your groups actions are right out of the FBIs handbook for how to destroy leftist movements, we dont need to claim youre actual cops to say youre doing their job for them.
"MLM" Gonzaloists.
People in this thread are accusing them of being cops, but they were actually pretty well in keeping with the tactics of the Shining Path. IIRC, the Shining Path would not only attack socdems, but they also assaulted the Cuban and Soviet embassies as a "strike against revisionism". It's all this crypto-idealist bullshit about proving that you're the true revolutionaries.
It's a perfect ideology to follow if you're a cop wanting to hamper leftist activity, but even if you're not, you're still basically doing their work for them. There has never, not once, been a successful Gonzaloist revolution, and the Shining Path itself has become little more than a drug cartel with a superficial ideology attached to it (though, hey, they managed to make most of the Peruvian population hate communists, so they've got that going for them)
