    if you want to delve into that contradiction, why not form a co-op hedge fund with the goal of distributing any profits back to proletariat movements?

      well yes but more maoist and leninist than just a co-op, it’s more of a vanguardist idea to fund like larger scale strategic endeavors.

        sure, that would be rad af. the co-op bit is just to make sure that it has cemented democratic structures

          yeah precisely, i know so many people on discord trading communities (not those that give alerts for subscription, but casual small groups which were horizontally organized) that are just out and about communists. i’ve even radicalized a few. having a financial base of power would literally be miraculous for the Party for Socialist Liberation

              well if they come for it, they come for it. until then it can be utilized to build up other less at risk assets
