Could anti-authoritarian outsiders use (3) to effectively support anti-authoritarian insiders?

The "people" in (3) refers less to the working class than it does to people in power that control and contribute to large percentages (>0.5%) of a country's GDP/wealth (unless nearly all of the working class within a country recognizes it).

Not sure why this question is being downvoted, but possibly. However this is fraught with various complications and is a discussion around failed state govts.' regime enforcement, internal citizenries' access to external organizations and various other ways in which other economic actors interact with these, a very complex separate discussion on its own and it requires one too many assumptions for me to be comfortable providing any intelligent opinion on without starting from a common base of assumptions.
