    Assassinated or in fear of being assassinated since the fbi, the organization explicitly built to assassinate communists, is still around.

          Not a lot of good outcomes from joining the Black Panthers, tbh. They even killed their own accountant on at least one occasion.

          A lot of people consider his death an assassination in part of the COINTELPRO operations between 1958 to 1971 at the height of the USA and USSR cold war, but it’s worth stating that the escalation to violence was due to one of the present BPP members firing a round while authorities had the apartment surrounded.

          Do you have any examples that aren’t over half a century ago?

        Give it 6 more months of Trump and Russia will look like a paradise compared the the US.
