Honestly, the feds have the best drugs and better funding. If they're stupid enough to offer you a wad of money and a train to Finland station, and you don't have to actually do stuff for them, take it and hang them with the rope.
Otherwise the Anarchist Comic Opera plot generation society/soup kitchen sound like it gets the most shit actually done compared to 3 wobblies in a pub; Combat Liberalism, the immersive theatre experience; or the two sex pest newspaper clubs.
Lenin got back to Russia after the February revolution (which was with the Allies in WW1) via Germany (Which was...not.)
Germany realised that they could fuck with Russia by sending him there to ramp up the political chaos, and so gave him a (not actually) sealed train through Germany to Finland Station in St Petersburg, where he was greeted by massive crowds, turning him from a moderately well know agitator exiled to Switzerland into one of the primary political figures of the age. By doing so Germany, a Capitalist power, gave Lenin resources, and accidentally triggered the most serious threat to capitalism that has ever existed.
Because of this, Leftists, especially older ones, will use the term "Arriving at Finland Station" to refer to a moment when the left (or the org, or the person) comes to a position of real political power.
The sad fact is, many Communist or Socialist revolutions got their funding, or their organisation, from capitalist sources. On the one hand, that's playing with fire. On the other, if it's skillfully done you can hoist them with their own petard.

The FBI catfished an autistic kid into giving them a small amount of Google Play Gift Cards and then charged him with funding terrorism.
I don't know if it's a great idea to try to play around with feds, they can figure out a way to entrap you in some bullshit.
Oh, yeah, if it's some obviously sus org like that sure. And do not do a fucking adventurism.
But if its got a lot of members you're probably ok since the "feds" are mostly dumbass informants, not feds proper.
