  • Cryptography and networking to securely communicate during organization and monitor suspicious traffic

    General OSINT skills to vet people and provide proof of any claims

    Not a CS skill, but common in security work is social engineering, and hell, maybe even a little bit of journalism/blogging. Build up a reputation of some sort and attempt to find sympathetic/disillusioned sources who might expose some stuff that will help protestors/organizers

    Web design/UX maybe? These days a lot of people are used to or drawn to “modern” and “sleek” designs. Marxists.org will likely deter new people lol

    The first two will probably be the most “useful,” but as others have stated, it’s mostly a lucrative field to make a bunch of money

    However, if you want to benefit people (which won’t necessarily further any socialist cause), you can get a job at a public organization such as hospitals and schools. Some libraries are large and popular enough to warrant in house IT staff.





  • In the movie the US tries to draw in Superman by dropping a deadly object from space and almost kills a bunch of people if it weren’t for Superman stopping it. And the US also starts a war with the USSR. But somehow the US is the good guy

    Also, the faults of some egomaniacal dictator is representative of communism entirely, but the faults of capitalism are portrayed as the fault of bad apples lol


  • You can easily tell if someone is truly seeking redemption by the way they react when people don’t forgive them immediately just because they say “war bad, actually”. Redemption is about doing the right thing to correct your past sins even if others no longer trust you, and forgiveness is up to the people you victimized and betrayed.

    As for helping veterans, that’s great and all, but I highly doubt the Black Panthers were just giving them free food and housing without educating them on why their actions in Vietnam were wrong and how they can atone for them.

    And for the people going “we need military for a revolution.” Correct, but take a look back in history. Almost all of the professional military were disillusioned with war or the state and/or starving to death. The communists won them because they promised to end pointless wars and provide food. Right now, your average soldier in the US military is quite comfortable. All they do is stand around on base, sit on a ship for 4 years, get free hot meals and play on their phones until their training session, and they WANT action because they’re bored.

    The ones who are disillusioned are the ones who fought and got nothing in return or wasted half a decade in service only to have 0 job training. The state isn’t scared of those individuals because the majority of soldiers and veterans do fine, and if they aren’t doing fine, they’re still not angry enough to inspire regiment. And wrt the Black Panthers, they were doing this shit during a turbulent civil rights era where the government considered them the greatest threat - more than the Soviets - because they were uniting all sorts of marginalized people. What group or movement has that status today? Antifa? BLM? Lol.
