On the Cointelpro situation. It makes everything so messy. Elaine could've been feds, but, she also might not have been. And given the well known chauvinism of the party, any critique she gave of them, was probably not well taken.

From what I know, when Huey was in charge the party was doing a lot survival and revolution (which as you said aren't antithetical), but when Eldridge got in charge, the focus was definitely narrowed.
