Now try doing that in mainland China. Ask yourself why there isn't a strong active anarchist presence in the PRC despite their population in comparison to the US. If the actions you do actually are enough to cause the US domestic forces to go after you, rest assured, PRC domestic ones would already have got you.

It's true that the US may be more of a immediate threat to those in its territories, but to compare it to KGB is to either massively oversell US domestic forces abilities or undersell KGB's. Even in the closest cases of political executions, extrajudicial murders through abuses of force and qualified immunity, as seen in the recent ICE shootings, they still caused a lot of national instability, even within the right wing. Similar happenings in the USSR didn't come close in reactions.
