Hey. Contact its_gerryz on Discord. He is building an anarchist game dev team.
Coconut flakes and nooch may work. However, all cats are unique. Mine, for some reason, likes plant-based dog food more than his plant-based cat food. So I ended up using dog food as treats.
Me and my spouse ended up buying a homestead two weeks ago as we stumbled upon one with a very good price (35k EUR). We will try to build a community around it as properties with a similar price are frequently on sale here (this year it was at least 3 homesteads).
One person may be coming here in a month or so. Others are not EU citizens so getting here is tricky for them.
There is a center of Russian culture in Tallinn which may be relevant for you and could be a place to find people to practice Russian with.
Most people on this subreddit become rabid when you mention the word "Russian". Most people IRL are chill though.
Tallinn definitely works for practicing Russian, however, I would suggest Narva if possible as 96% there are Russian speakers and it is much cheaper to live there.
I live in Ida-Viru county. You can message me if you would like some insights into the region.
I highly suggest to watch this. It not only teaches you about politics in general, but also explains the topics of capitalism, socialism, communism and anarchism

You were conditioned very well by your owners. Do you know what socialism, communism or capitalism are? Or do you hate the first two and love the last one just because you were told to?
If it is indeed so, how are you different from gay-hating conservatives who hate gays only because they were told to?
Soviet Union was state capitalist the same as China or any other "communist" country. The only places that had socialism were Revolutionary Catalonia during the Spanish civil, Free Territories of Ukraine and some territories with worker soviets during the revolution in Russian Empire before they were crushed by Bolsheviks, and, currently, Zapatistas.
All you were taught was a lie propagated by both "communist" countries so that their populace does not revolt against their dictators and capitalist counties so that workers do not revolt.
Capitalism is a system that exists FOR capitalists. The same as liberal democracy, which exists to protect private property owners (capitalists) from workers seizing their places of work from capitalist, who steal workers' labor (as profit) and get agency crushed (workers have no voice in how their work is organized, capitalists are dictators).
Therefore, the conclusion is that capitalists take as much as the working class lets them, which, in turn, depends on how much the working class is aware of their exploitation and has solidarity (class consiousness).
As you can imagine, those two are at a record low. On average, capitalists take half of what you produce. So half the working week you work to make someone else richer and who also has dictatorial control over your place of work.
I expect a lot of people with Stockholm syndrome to attack me on this, but those are facts. This is how the system works.
If someone does not like the current state of affairs then visit our website (Estonian translation in progress) for more info. There is also a link to a discord server.
Better build community where you live. There already are people around with whom you can cope together
I would suggest to look at what anarchists and other libertarian socialists have done, like Revolitionary Catalonia, Free Territories of Ukraine, worker soviets in the beginning of the Russian revolution before bolsheviks got rid of them and instituted state capitalism. For current examples you can look at Zapatistas. I would also suggest to be careful to not fall into a Marxist-Leninist trap. Those guys just take power from the working class under the pretense that the working class cannot take of themselves, and, therefore, they should hold the power and be a nanny to the workers. If you do like Marxism, then look at left communists.

They always pop up when you threaten the status quo
It is even funnier. They do not know what communism is either. They think it is when a red colored star splattered party line is shoved down people's throats with a promise that the line is good for them. The joint USSR and the US propaganda worked wonders to alienate the working class from their own interests and turn them into people who think that being slaves equals freedom and all the good stuff
East Estonia is actually one of the most beautiful places nature-wise in Estonia. I live in Kohtla-Järve and can bike to such cool places as Baltic Klint, Aidu karjäär, Kurtna lakes and even Peipus lake if I am feeling very adventurous. That is one of the reasons why I would never move from here to Tallinn or Tartu no matter what.
One of those mfs here. People under 30 usually know English quite well. Young Russian-speakers use it online a lot
If you are into the kind of socialism that gives power to the working class and not to a nanny state then we have both a website and a discord server. We are mostly focused on praxis.

Exactly! We are trying to create a network of libertarian socialists, their groups and initiatives, which may be relevant here.

This is why we need horizontal organization i.e. getting to communism through a libertarian/anarchist path. You cannot establish a classless stateless society through a state with classes of bureaucrats and workers (any ML state with a "communist" party). This is what we are doing. Check out our website for more: https://www.libsoc.org/
I get you. The auth socialism has been the worst thing that happened to socialism and was the most effective propaganda against it.
We are trying to organize libertarian socialists if you are interested.

Dictatorship of proletariat can also happen without the state. Libertarian Marxists exist. CNT/FAI established a perfectly good dictatorship of proletariat without a state during a war and suppressed reactionaries quite well through restorative justice. Honestly, I cannot say that any state attempts ever established the dictatorship of proletariat, it was always just a plain old dictatorship in the end with a few people in power doing whatever they wanted. Every statist socialist project fell back into capitalism.
I would also suggest to check zapatistas. They exist for more than 40 years and are a contemporary example of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Okay then. Small world :)
I'm searching for people interested in creation of remote, horizontal game dev worker cooperative
