The Progs largely have been making deliberate moves, myself and many others dismissed it at the time and we were simply wrong. A pattern appeared as it was going on and made it clear that it was deliberate, orchestrated, and planned. The pieces on the board were less than stellar, but they did have organization. Ironically, the very reason nobody saw it coming was the same thing that prevented them from going much deeper. While it was a good opening plan, it didn't really have a second phase. So while everyone was looking for the future plans to confirm the existence of prior plans, their prior plans worked. Nobodys come forward to admit to orchestrating it, but it's been heavily thought to have been Chinese assets working to increase communism. So in a roundabout way, AOC is a Chinese asset.
