Amber didn’t understand Aaron Leonard’s essential point about FBI infiltration: he said left groups have considered infiltration as A GOOD THING; left groups felt that infiltrators DO MORE GOOD THAN HARM. Amber misunderstood him to mean that Lenin and the RU and other groups were simply embarrassed by having been infiltrated. This is a big deal. I’m a baby boomer radical - I lived this, I heard this - and Aaron Leonard is saying something important here for future organizers to learn from.
