Yes, Fred Hampton's assassination was really, really interesting for anybody who read about political philosophy, or anybody interested with the concept of class struggle.

But i would be quite surprised if the hit on Huey was a government hit. His existence prevented another movement like the black panther to take place.

AIUI, Huey was murdered by someone in a crack gang. The CIA was fuelling the crack epidemic. I don't know how much tin foil it involves, but it seems plausible that the CIA used black on black crime to make sure no one cared about the murder.

I hadn't heard this, but I'm really not educated on the topic so that's not surprising.
