    I see.

    MLs would want to build credibility of their movement and they would be advertising who they are. When they houthis walk the talk and lob missiles at Israel or ships they are clear that it was them and why they are doing what they are. That helps bolster their movement and recruit more people to do even more.

    If you are the group doing the action you want it known so that you can keep growing.

      An important distinction here is that Ansar Allah is a militant group while “ml” is simply a political descriptor. There is no group or party called ml. ML’s make up a large portion of communist party and other groups membership alongside others who describe themselves with other labels.

        Weather they are militant or simply political groups doesn’t change what I wrote. Do MLs not want others to see they are the group that is walking the talk and get more people to join in? I don’t imagine they want to have such a short reach.

          No you’re not understanding what I’m saying. “ML” is not a group in the fashion of Ansar Allah or Hamas or so on. It’s a descriptor applied to an individual who is then a member of a group with others who may or may not also fit that descriptor. That group then does things and takes credit as a group.
