The disclosure that Aoki was an FBI informant is a bombshell in the Asian American and African American communities in the Bay Area. I knew Aoki personally and could never figure him out. Now it appears that he was one of the many informants whose name was blacked out in my Freedom of Information Act files from the FBI. This disclosure underscores the importance to only conduct political work with people who espouse a political philosophy with which you agree so that you support the philosophy rather than the person. To my knowledge Aoki never promoted the study of political economy or philosophy nor did the people who idealized him in life and after death.
