    Hypothetically, an org with such requirements would be sending trusted and disciplined members to enlist in the military with specific targets of what they should learn and providing them support if they run into problems.

      You’re talking about spying and looking for specific information to leak, other commenters are referring to oblivious people who discover the horrors of imperialism firsthand and become anti-imperialists.

      No leftist organization should be pipelining members into enlistment in a military (other than the PLA) with the intent of having already anti-imperialist members see what it’s like to be a mass murderer.

      “It sounds like you’re feeding shelter cats baby leftists to coyotes.”

        The other commenter is living in a delusion where Left wing orgs are dedicating any resources to preparing people or material for violent insurrection. I was pointing out how that’s LARP, and if there was any need for military trained individuals, then you’d expect they would be created the same way gangs and neo-nazis already exploit.
