What are the most notable instances of leftists being unbanked? 

ATL Bail Funds comes to mind, WikiLeaks is also relatable too. SciHub is bc it’s geo-restricted but still kinda relevant. Any other good ones?

It’s my understanding that during the McCarthy era and the Cold War, anyone labelled as a communist, socialist, sympathizer, etc was basically unable to get a bank account, loan, or insurance.

McCarthy also made tons of assumptions about who was a communist including gay men and people of colour, immigrants etc, so you can imagine the folks caught in the crossfire who weren’t even on the left.

AI answer so take it with a grain of salt but I’ve read a bit about this period (by no means an expert) so I think this is at least partially correct.
