Trump is likely to become a fascist dictator, and with that will likely come the banning of socialist movements, literature, etc, but the socialist message must continue to be propagated regardless. I urge all socialist to utilize secretive and encrypted methods of spreading socialism to the people, such as anonymous social media accounts, steganography, using a VPN, one-time pads, and even offline methods such as discreetly distributing printed material and word-of-mouth with people you trust.

@Radical_EgoCom the problem is a lot of people who could benefit most from this information are too poor to have access to computers that aren't completely locked-down, where all their apps come from app stores that ban the use of these technologies. We need a few community leaders to specialize in subversive tech so they can act as a kind of broker for these communications.

@ramin_hal9001 If, for whatever reason, people are too poor to use the technologies I've listed or can't use them for other reasons, then I would recommend that they stay as anonymous as they possibly can while spreading socialism online, such as through the use of anonymous social media accounts that are not connected to their main social media accounts nor contain any personal information about themselves, as well as spreading socialism offline in the ways I listed above.

@Radical_EgoCom We can defeat fascism in 2024 if we follow the French example and unite behind a candidate instead of letting maga run the "divide and conquer" playbook on us.

@blaise I do agree that if we all united behind one candidate that it would prevent Trump from getting into office, but that won't "defeat" fascism. That would only momentarily inconvenience them because them losing an election won't deter them, as evidenced by Trump losing the 2020 election and then running again. They're ever persistent. What will defeat fascism will be actively removing fascist and reactionaries from having any influence in society.

@blaise Even allowing fascists to have a little power will keep fascism alive. All of the fascists power and influence must be removed in order to defeat fascism.

@Radical_EgoCom As long as capitalism stays, fascism will prevail, it doesn't matter if Trump will become president or not. If the rulling class decides so, it happen. The only solution is the people's revolution.

@Radical_EgoCom @blaise 100%. The democratic party is only useful as a stopgap to buy time. I still advocate everyone vote, but to not feel as though the vote alone is enough. The left needs to either ruthlessly take over the reigns of the Democratic Party or forge a new party (much harder). Ideally this would be done under a Democrat presidency to avoid facing full-blown fascistic scrutiny. Sadly, I did not come to these relatizations until the past year.

@peterkal @Radical_EgoCom My biggest concern is that any type of revolution from the people today would be largely unguided. Would we simply repeat the history of February 1917, where the revolutionists handed the power right back to the bourgeois? They at least had a very dedicated Bolshevik party that was growing influence before and up until October. The USA is a powder keg, and we really need a party that follows lock-step with the working class.

@jmanes @peterkal 1/2 You are correct. The working class does need a party to lead and guide them on the right path. You are wrong, however, about the Russian Revolution resulting in the bourgeoisie regaining their power. The opposite happened, actually. They made significant shifts away in power away from the bourgeoisie and towards the working class and peasantry. The February Revolution resulted in a provisional government where the bourgeoisie had some influence, but it was not...

@jmanes @peterkal 2/2 ...dominated by them. The October Revolution, led by the Bolshevik Party, however, resulted in the overthrow of the provisional government, where a socialist state was created that made a radical departure from the previous capitalist order in Russia, dismantled bourgeois power, and implemented policies that gave workers and peasants more power.

@jmanes @Radical_EgoCom The February revolution was a capitalist revolution designed to overthrow the char, the October was a socialist one, designed to overthrow the newly established capitalists.True the communist movement is in a bad state, but in the US there is an effort to great a concrete CP. Revolution is the solution, that doesn't mean it will be an easy one.https://newworker.us/editorial/what-is-the-communist-workers-platform/

@Radical_EgoCom @jmanes The provisional government was a bourgeoisie government, that was clear, the "socialists" who participated in it where opportunists, directly funded and helped by the bourgeoisie, like the mensheviks for example. Those became the bigger enemies of the Bolsheviks in all stages of the revolution.In fact in February the power shifted from the feudal lords to the capitalist class, just like other bourgeois revolutions, see France, England, America.

@peterkal @Radical_EgoCom My only knowledge of this comes from Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution. It was my understanding that workers in the textile mills and iron works started the feb revolution via strike. People upset with world war 1 and the econ then rallied and ousted the tsar, with no real leadership. The bourgeoise then took the reins with little resistance in the aftermath.Regardless, I’m just worried that it could happen in the USA, but without an October follow up.

@jmanes @Radical_EgoCom Avoid reading Trotsky, he was even such a protagonist in October, his works were serving an anti-Leninist purpose, he was also a menshevik, switched just few months earlier, but in any case good reads is the Ten Days That Shook The World, and the Trotskyism or Leninism by Stalin, in which he talks about thw progress of the revolution and criticizes the one you read.

@peterkal @jmanes 1/2 I don't think it's right to say some shouldn't read Trotsky's work, even if it actually is anti-Leninist. If someone is only reading books that say that Trotskyism is anti-Leninist and never read Trotskyist literature themselves, how are they supposed to verify that what they're reading is true? It's better to explain to people why Trotskyism is anti-Leninist and provide literature that proves that point while also encouraging them to verify your claims themselves by...

@peterkal @jmanes 2/2 ...reading Trotskyist literature and finding out the flaws in the ideology themselves. That will ensure that people will maintain a logical and critical mindset instead of implicitly believing what a person says.

@Radical_EgoCom @jmanes He has already read it, that's the point. Also Ten Days That Shook The World in no way is anti Trotskyist, in fact because John Ridd(?) was not accosiated with the party back then he over thought the the influence of Trotsky.Of course people should be embraced to read both that's the point of me suggesting scripts, not just saying trust me bro.

@Radical_EgoComTech person here, VPNs are not to be trusted, they are a waste of money in the best case and government honeypots in the worst case.The only 2 benefits to VPNs are:Spoofing your location.Hiding your traffic from your ISP (they can only see what domains you visit, not what you do).For both TOR is a much more secure option used by journalists and others in countries where free speech is not a given.If you only want to hide your traffic from your ISP then I suggest you look into DNS over TLS (DoT for short) which encrypts your DNS traffic with the same "military grade" encryption your VPN provider advertises.There is much more, and the post above is correct in most, but VPNs are not a privacy tool and never will be, you're only moving the point of trust from a well regulated ISP to an unregulated VPN provider very willing to sell your data to more than just governments, they are snake oil at best and actively harm you in most cases.

@Radical_EgoCom As an European I'm very concerned about the possibility of Trumps dictatorship and everything he will do to all of his opponents. I'm sure that he will use force and violence and it will have an effect to the rest of the world. In Finland fascism is lifting it's ugly head and the politic debate is already filled with warning signs. The whole world is in danger and history has not taught people at all

@Radical_EgoCom @blaise Given America's history of assisting fascists and using them as subcontractors, how feasible is that? Seems to me that the seeds are so deeply buried that the fash will sprout repeatedly until we break the capitalist system that fertilizes it.
