I’m an enjoyer of protest camps, bikerides for climate, forest occupations, and other outdoor sports. But since more and more of my buddies start to call me tankie, I was wondering if there is some offline meetup for talking and chilling that I don’t know about. I mean, after the last few months and years I would like to hang out with some people without watching my words and subjects all the time.

I found this video about a Stalin fest in Siberia (by Radio Free Europe!). So cool, but a bit far. I’m located in the Netherlands.

If there is no such thing, we could just make it happen. Or meetup at some other occassion and create a temporary autonomous safe space for tankies (aligned and non-aligned).

This is my first post here. Don’t be too mad if this is the wrong forum for my question.

    Depends on the group really. A proper party with action groups will probably do more than a glorified reading circle. I mean, I’m out in the streets with my party and my local group multiple times a month. No one is afraid of showing what we stand for.

    I hope one bad experience will not stop you from organizing. I don’t have any knowledge about US chapters but I know people on here are members. I hope they can help you.

      I didn’t mean to disparage all parties. I know Europe is much better and America once had something. I think we will again. If they’re Portlanders who know more than me I’d be happy to organize with them.
