    Default Tactic derived from the old CPA: Secrecy?

    What do you think of applying the tactic of secrecy for left movements in the 21st century? The idea is that you are encouraged to not reveal your association with the movement + ideal to avoid negative reactions in your works, only a couple of people will perhaps volunteer to represent the party in public affairs. This will ensure the safety of members from being targeted by neo-Nazis, as well as any authoritarian or fascist government that will come into existence who will try to crackdown on the movement or said ideal due to opposing views.

    How is this method? It would have certainly saved the Ukrainian communist party from the Svoboda regime. Was originally adopted by the old Communist party of Australia founded in 1920 that has long since dissolved.

    Well given updates in technology, this is a pretty much impossible task unless you go completely off the grid. Any time you log on to a computer, use a mobile phone or access any form of electronic technology, it is likely that the state - if it wanted - could track you and use social engineering-style tactics to associate you with your politics.

    So unless you want to go 'off grid' in some sort of guerilla warfare style - which I would say is not advisable today - then you will struggle with this tactic of 'secrecy'.

    There are proxies and encryption messaging apps aswell though.
