Hey I’m a USA citizen right now and am worried that I’m going to be deported, so I’m wondering if I can study in another country? Does anyone know? Thank you

    Here is what I’d do.

    Find a group who are trans-friendly in another country where they teach the program you want. Community/friend will be helpful because they will know how to protect you, what to say/do in a foreign land.

    Then study how to get a student visa there and apply to a school that teach your program. Also if you are a top performer, they may be interested in hosting you with social advantages (lodging/food/other nice stuff). So shop around.

    The world is not a friendly place right now. You might want to tell everyone you are a trans-communist but right now your first focus should be your survival. To survive you will need to keep your ideals to yourself for a while.

    Also be wary of anyone who tries to convince you there are magical place where everything is nice. These persons are ideologists and should be ignored until you can ascertain for yourself what is the material reality of the place.

    So: TL;DR.

    Look for a community first. Don’t listen to fairy tales. Look at the actual reality of the place. Talk to people actually living there who are people that are at least, a bit like you. Then find a school and contact them. Then get a student visa or equivalent. Hide what you are as much as you can.

    That’s going to be your op-sec for now on.

    Thanks care friend

        Well, yes you can. You can do that from the US also, but you need to upgrade your opsec.

        You have to realize that communism is not words.

        It’s actions.

        Don’t preach, don’t proselytize, don’t pontificate.

        Just do.

        Give your time to those who needs it. Help around; Make material reality better around you. Listen to the plight of other proles. Make them realize they also can help others.

        But if you want a bigger impact, here’s what you need to do :

        Organize in secret : Pile up tech ( generative ai tech from free sources), Private lemmys for communism discussion , Old unlocked phones in case you need to communicate in a crackdown. Build a faraday cage and stock your pilled up tech ( hard drives and cellphones ) in there. You will need all of that to build a real resistance.

        Find a core of people who shares your ideals, but don’t tell them what they are. Never say the word communism in public. Never meet in public. Don’t chose people who will put words before actions. Don’t choose braggarts or ideologist or worst - people who do stuff because it look good.

        People will hear communism and think “capitain america against the red menace” automatically. Just pollinate the ideas - they are self evident truth that can’t be discounted in good faith - just don’t tell people where the theory comes from. If they ask, just say it’s common sense. If they are Christian, just say it’s just what Jesus talked about when he was talking about the “Kingdom of God” - It’s mostly true.

        Then cultivate influence, network and find people who can change things at a local level. Get them to share your mindset, just don’t use the words communism and trans as they are loaded and will make you a target.

        With all that in place, you are in a good position to change things once the status quo starts to move.

        But first - Stay safe. Protect yourself and your loved ones. Being dead means it was all a waste.
