Yay.

D'awwwww

Okay, I think I see. I agree with you.

And I don't believe I'm "meta-arguing" but yes, I think you're right about anxiety. I won't press that on you or anyone.

My position is that I'm against paranoia, yes, but I'm also against the complete absence of fear and I suppose that it's best to be "weary" of what we're up against. But honestly, you're right, you and your therapist.

I'll just say that the PSL and other orgs like it are a movement, first and foremost. They're a social movement which may turn into a revolution one day. They're not a secretive organization that will commence a coup or uprising through violence. Leave that to other groups that attempt such a thing (at their possible peril).

Using legal and sometimes extra-legal things is the best way forward for the communist movement; we're too weak otherwise. We need to grow. I suppose that's where I was coming from. And that means not acting out just to "push boundaries" on what's acceptable, if you catch my drift.

I'm not saying you have to be anxious... just... know the possible pitfalls and dangers.

lol idk

It's true that I'm in haste, and usually am, and that I can't sit still because I'm always doing something (due to trauma and certain things in my life).

Right now, I'm studying to be a nurse, but venting out on the Internet; I enjoy both (the studying and expressing my thoughts), but obviously, what I say betrays my state-of-mind, I suppose.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Oh fair.

Yes, I misread what you said in a hurry.

Alright, gotcha, but I think the anxiety is fine so long as it's not paralyzing, is all I'll say.

I'm not saying we should "wallow" in it, but I think the danger is real, and we should move accordingly. It's okay to "retreat," as Lenin said.

Oho

Palm Springs, Florida

Edit: Wait, no, California

Yes.

Now I want to listen to it.

Doesn't matter. If we can prevent it from getting worse, then we should take measures to do so.

"Of course, they could try to unreasonably go after PSL, but I’m not sure that’s much different than what socialist/communist types have been facing in the US for decades."

No.

Stop.

This is bad thinking.

It may not necessarily be different in quality, but it will be different in quantity which can eventually result in a full-on qualitative change to the repression.

A Third Red Scare.

That is why we should be careful, to be clear.

Sorry, I don't mean to be mean, but I think people should take this possibility seriously. They could literally bake a speech for Trump where he outlines several "incidents" (along with false flags thrown in) regarding the socialist or communist movements in America. He could give it on TV to a national audience and really bring on a Red Scare.

PSL? Communist Party of the Russian Federation? Greece's Communist Party?

Whom'st? Where'st? Why'st?

sadge

Rain dances are underrated and have a bad rap, ngl

You have a farm?!

Shit, I want to start one!

Yeah, he's no Syril Karn from Andor, who, at least, realizes his dumbassery in the end... before succumbing to some of his baser instincts and attacking Cass in the end... before realizing that his life was kinda empty and meaningless or whatever... before getting gunned down by a bourgeois democrat.

¯(ツ)_/¯

I would encourage others to join an org, even the PSL… but think twice about joining that last one.

Not that you should never join the organization; far from it.

But right now may not be safe...

Wait, what? I'm out of the loop.

Let's see...

There were the shootings at the museum in D.C....

The shootings at the CIA center...

And now... this? Where did this take place?
