  • It depends!

    Is this going to put you or others in danger? If the climate is non-violent and really academic I don’t see a problem.

    But if you fear for your security or that of others, I wouldn’t risk it.

    University’s also usually have more freedom of expression granted.

    I used to run a Roleplay Club in college that had after hour philosophy sessions. I don’t think I converted anyone but it made me kiss a lot of people that was out of my reach…

    Ahhh to be 20 again…

    Also you can market it as a “critic club” and have all sort of maxists text and have people debate them.






  • Well, yes you can. You can do that from the US also, but you need to upgrade your opsec.

    You have to realize that communism is not words.

    It’s actions.

    Don’t preach, don’t proselytize, don’t pontificate.

    Just do.

    Give your time to those who needs it. Help around; Make material reality better around you. Listen to the plight of other proles. Make them realize they also can help others.

    But if you want a bigger impact, here’s what you need to do :

    Organize in secret : Pile up tech ( generative ai tech from free sources), Private lemmys for communism discussion , Old unlocked phones in case you need to communicate in a crackdown. Build a faraday cage and stock your pilled up tech ( hard drives and cellphones ) in there. You will need all of that to build a real resistance.

    Find a core of people who shares your ideals, but don’t tell them what they are. Never say the word communism in public. Never meet in public. Don’t chose people who will put words before actions. Don’t choose braggarts or ideologist or worst - people who do stuff because it look good.

    People will hear communism and think “capitain america against the red menace” automatically. Just pollinate the ideas - they are self evident truth that can’t be discounted in good faith - just don’t tell people where the theory comes from. If they ask, just say it’s common sense. If they are Christian, just say it’s just what Jesus talked about when he was talking about the “Kingdom of God” - It’s mostly true.

    Then cultivate influence, network and find people who can change things at a local level. Get them to share your mindset, just don’t use the words communism and trans as they are loaded and will make you a target.

    With all that in place, you are in a good position to change things once the status quo starts to move.

    But first - Stay safe. Protect yourself and your loved ones. Being dead means it was all a waste.


  • Well, to be fair, they sold out since a while a back.

    “At that time where our finances had become healthy again, I brought up that since we had the means to do so, we should pay back the employees who gave up their paychecks to keep us going. That comment was met with silence by all the owners.”

    They are not in there for art anymore. Money’s the game now …

    The outer worlds world building was cool, the voice acting was nice… I can’t remember the game story at all. The gameplay had only one quality : it existed. The weapon selection could have been cool but it was not. They didn’t weave the good world building they did in the other elements of the game and it was a shame.

    So, I think it’s a lost opportunity of a game. It could have been way cooler with not a lot of efforts. I feel it took some risks while avoiding all the risks a game should take.

    TL;DR : This game is like horseradish. It starts strong then offer no more flavor than what it started with. Then you get tired of that flavor and ask yourself why you are eating horseradish in the first place.


  • Here is what I’d do.

    Find a group who are trans-friendly in another country where they teach the program you want. Community/friend will be helpful because they will know how to protect you, what to say/do in a foreign land.

    Then study how to get a student visa there and apply to a school that teach your program. Also if you are a top performer, they may be interested in hosting you with social advantages (lodging/food/other nice stuff). So shop around.

    The world is not a friendly place right now. You might want to tell everyone you are a trans-communist but right now your first focus should be your survival. To survive you will need to keep your ideals to yourself for a while.

    Also be wary of anyone who tries to convince you there are magical place where everything is nice. These persons are ideologists and should be ignored until you can ascertain for yourself what is the material reality of the place.

    So: TL;DR.

    Look for a community first. Don’t listen to fairy tales. Look at the actual reality of the place. Talk to people actually living there who are people that are at least, a bit like you. Then find a school and contact them. Then get a student visa or equivalent. Hide what you are as much as you can.

    That’s going to be your op-sec for now on.

    Thanks care friend




  • Anti-communist propaganda is all the rage everywhere.

    If you like the game, but the propaganda is affecting you, sorry.

    I know games are an escape but you don’t have to be ideological about everything… playing a game with bad takes won’t make you less communist if you really are communist.

    You can take that as a test of your resolve, to make it more fun.




  • Yeah! It’s fascinating seeing both types of post from trumpidor the first. That said … I wonder how that works in our material world.

    I mean - from my point of view and analysis, trumpidor is either an actor playing the role of a floundering politician or a floundering politician.

    If he is an actor, most of what I see starts to make sense. He has a team, he works with other, he’s mostly a Muppet with other imperialist hands up his ass and so he must be pitied as he is not his own man.

    If he is not … Everything becomes more complicated as he’s most likely only a demented old man in an untenable position, trying his best to stay afloat in the sea of shit he is himself creating. It’s at best a real attempt at disturbing the uncomfortable status quo and at worst, elder abuse.

    But I’m to get back to the subject, what I am really wondering is how it would work in real life if he had a team writing these. How can these people sleep at night ? Who are they ? Where do they come from ? Why don’t they talk / whistleblower / boast about it ?

    Keeping secret is hard …

    So maybe we are just seeing trumpidor in moments of lucidity and then in rage/drugs/stress induced moments ?

    It’s so hard to guess from so far away …
