I was intending to start an communist organization masked as a normal company (communism is illegal in my country), my first goal to give workers a good working environment, and to pay them as high as I could.
At this time I’m still a student, so I asked my sister for funding. I told her that I want a different world that I live in currently, this didn’t affect me as I was well provided for which allows me to work independently as a writer. but there is still poverty and unemployment in the country, I constantly see poor people in the slums of the city. even worse, the pollution and lack of nutrition made everyone look unhealthy.
She have stated that she was a capitalist. but she’s my family, she always say that whatever I’m doing she would support it.
Well… she rejected my request, told me that she believes that I would “Destroy” her world I think she meant her own objective would fail, that it doesn’t make sense for her to support the opposing side.
not going to the details but so far she given me budget for my own projects. and she’s willing to give me more.
I’ve created alot of enemies now. My sister and I shared ideas for the better world. as eco-environmentalists. I realized that what we agreed on, supporting eachother no matter what doesn’t apply when the goal is socialism and when you’re a communist.
I also realized also that, her whole current objective, her products wasn’t anything eco-friendly. as a socialist now, I see that it was money all along. at least she told me she was going to do good after she’s done getting all the assets she needs, but I feel like there was no end to it. Though, I hope she stand by her own words.
So the question stands. in our capitalist world, should the proletariat be funded by the bourgeoisie?
Thank you for your advice, I’m a bit new to the whole concept. even sharing the knowledge of communism is illegal here. and there is a hidden communist organization and their movements as I heard. My guardians were terrorized by hearing that I would make a communist party the other day and advised me not to for my safety. I’ll be joining or making one as soon as I can.
Whatever you do, please stay safe. Weigh the pros and cons. I know some comrades who have had trouble with the law for their convictions (back in the 70s one of them was sent to jail for refusing to join the draft) and these infractions didn’t seem to prevent them from finding employment and continuing the fight, but being locked behind bars for years on end is certainly not going to help the revolution – and that depends what the penalties actually are. So please research this thoroughly before making any decision.
Yes I’m aware. I’m always finding myself researching things and when I do have trouble with that I will ask for direction from other comrades. so far what I can understand from reading the legality of it. the whole operation is in fact illegal. the movements have to remain hidden or at least not obvious in plain sight.
Sadly the safeness of the operation must be unraveled first. I haven’t read the full thing and I don’t think killing communists is legal now. but it seems that even now the majority of people is still against communism. back then they justified killing millions of comrades. I think no one would care if we get killed here; they would see it as an act of heroism.
If I found that it is as bad as I thought. I’ll find hidden means of communications. I have to minimize to risks, first find comrades and hidden organizations. set up and decentralize the communications, teach them of opsec, and only exist in the digital world to share knowledge and spread the truth around. we will never have meetings or movements in the real world because it might risk our lives, as long as It’s illegal.
