this is frankly really scary. if you’re in a socialist org, please make sure that they’re not so lax with security like this. also, why the actual fuck are they using google products. we are fucking doomed here in the west man. To be clear I think this is probably more on the local chapter of your org than the national org, but even then I really think national orgs need to be giving out a lot more training about this kind of thing, and quite frankly booting out the leadership of local chapters if they’re lax like this.

PSL security culture: I left almost a year ago, their members locally know I don’t like them, but I’m still in some shared folder where I can see sensitive event and recruiting information

I highly recommend to the people joining orgs to take serious steps and ask questions around security. What if this got into the wrong hands? Out of courtesy I’m censoring the names. I have plenty more screenshots of events in case they try to refute this but I recommend they just hold this L quietly

              Not necessarily, it’s really hard to get ppl to adopt new things. Of course secure plaftorms should be mandatory imo.

              they are young, and i swear, everyone is a b**mer.

              and yes if i saw someone comment that even with my experience i too would think it was strange.

              they are ideologically so good, completely solid (excl. neurodivergent stuff, and accessibility stuff for other comrades).

              i tried to explain some privacy stuff, like, info we were taking from prospective members for the youth org, and how handing that off to the affiliated party org likely breaches the institutions privacy laws (which i quoted during the regular meeting!!) and was told something about how its probably OK or it wasnt an issue before.

              what no dialectics does to… a comrade??

          I can confirm they will appreciate it, listen to your ideas, suggestions, and concerns, and find ways for you to contribute or consider/accept your offers to do projects for them. I’m a member of PSL and serve as their IT. I want to encourage IT comrades to join. We need all the help we can get. You can make a difference; it’s a workers’ democratic party after all.

      You seem to be joking, but this is a seriously good idea. Technologically literate people are needed in orgs. Get on it comrade <3

        No wasn’t really joking just a bit sarcastic. I definitely do think it is needed. This is a new age with new kinds of anti communist methods. Those who are wisened up are needed on the front lines. We aren’t facing mere newspaper censors anymore…
