Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

buddy, pal, just assume that if we use the internet then the feds can find us if they get serious and accept the fact that there is a distinct possibility greater than zero that this may lead us being dragged out of our houses to be shot and thrown in a ditch. When you step up to the plate of actually joining a party and committing to the work assigned to you by your party, you are choosing to shed degrees of your anonymity to work towards a better tomorrow. That doesn't mean you don't have to go yolo no protection just go to the most active part of your town and shout to the crowds you're a spooky scary communist to the passing crowds, but if you commit to being a communist in a communist party you have to be willing to be honest with your comrades.
Also external public access is different from internal communications. don't just assume what you're seeing on the surface is all there is in depth.
Being openly communist comes with certain risks we just have to accept. I'm pretty sure this was a big point in Revolutionary Suicide.
