Rise up.net in their words below. IOW, hardcore communists. The irony is rich...no communist society on earth would have invented computers, ICs, optical networks, Internet protocols, routers, switches, etc. yet these commies leverage all these bountiful fruits of freedom and capitalism to try to destroy us.

Riseup provides online communication tools for people and groups working on liberatory social change. We are a project to create democratic alternatives and practice self-determination by controlling our own secure means of communications.

The Riseup Collective is an autonomous body based in Seattle with collective members world wide. Our purpose is to aid in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally. We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.

* We value, support, and engage in struggles for human liberation, the ethical treatment of animals, and ecological sustainability. We join in the fight for freedom and the self-determination of all oppressed groups. We oppose all forms of prejudice, authoritarianism, and vanguardism.

* We organize on the basis of autonomy, mutual aid, resource sharing, participatory knowledge, social advocacy, anti-oppression work, community creation, and secure communication.

* We work to create revolution and a free society in the here and now by building alternative communication infrastructure designed to oppose and replace the dominant system.

* We promote social ownership and democratic control over information, ideas, technology, and the means of communication.

* We empower organizations and individuals to use technology in struggles for liberation. We work to support each other in overcoming the systemic oppression embedded in the use and development of technology.


As Lenin said: “They [the capitalists] will furnish credits which will serve us for the support of the Communist Party in their countries and, by supplying us materials and technical equipment which we lack, will restore our military industry necessary for our future attacks against our suppliers. To put it in other words, they will work on the preparation of their own suicide.”

More popularly put “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
