he started off as a pharisee, a member of the comprador regime directly persecuting the early christians before his nominal conversion. so i agree, i'm not saying paul was like a roman equivalent of a cia agent or something. but he was part of the system, as you say.
Pharisees weren't really compradors. The actual compradors were the Sadducees. They were the ones who maintained the Second Temple and who collaborated with the Roman colonizers.
ah good point the pharisees were separatists, huh? to be fair, i didn't really give this whole thing very much thought before i posted
