So my wife an I have been discussing how to put our beliefs in to action for a while. We've decided the best we can do is give people a place to live. We own 40 acres of fertile land in the Appalachian mountains which can easily support more then just the two of us. We're extending an invitation to our comrades here who need or want a place to live. Right now we have one cabin on the property but if some one with the know how joins there is plenty of space to build more. There is also huge amounts of space to pitch tents long term.
Obviously we wouldn't be charging rent but would expect people to contribute as much as their able either monetarily or in labor to keep the place running. We wouldn't be providing anything other then a place to live, however we have a large garden, a green house, fruit trees, a bee hive, and chickens and ducks for eggs all of witch we would be happy to share. And the more hands working it the more there would be for everyone. We both have disabilities so we're very sympathetic to those who can't contribute as much, all we ask is an honest effort.
I'd like to hear the communities thoughts on this and will answer any questions.
generally speaking the only way to know for sure someone isnt fbi is if you find them at work, or at school, or in a club, and they happen to also share left wing views, and you become friends with them over a year or so. it cant be a place that is for leftists.
One year is typically a pretty good benchmark, but secrets can be kept for years, even sometimes from people who believe an agent is their life partner.
One thing that's probably a good rule is to check how much they've invested in it. If someone puts a substantial amount of time and effort into a project (or a collateral "loyalty fund" in the case of a direct action), they are probably honest about what they say they are. There's only so much that one small individual (or couple) could be bribed, and if that's less than the use value that could be gained, the judgment should be pretty clear.
It's unlikely that intelligence agencies would put lots of resources into building anticapitalist projects that they wouldn't exercise clear control over. Because of course, if things get out of hand, they've just directly worked against themselves, and can't pull the plug. On a related note, anyone who stresses the need for "central command" is probably a fed.
sure, but those instances, the police went to explicitly leftist events and found people to date
