As some of you know, I am quite adept at comouter stuff and fiercely red by now.
Livibg in germany, i'm also a member of the ccc and frequent hackspaces.
For those who dont know: the ccc is the largest hacker club in europe and holds some of the largest events with around 20k visitors annually (per event).
The ccc itself is anarchist, as are a lot of foss centric communities. Most have plenums and base democracy, federation, etc.
But as a red, i dont feel too much at home there as bigotry and right libertarians are also accepted, sometimes grudgingly, sometimes negligently. Damages to the community or its members stay under the lid, get explained or excused away. Culture war is grudgingly accepted, not because it is pointless but because bigots might be offended.
Therefore, a red community inside the ccc or even outside, of red hackers would be a good way to organize. But it is very hard to find people who are actually into computers and into political theory and have read enough to be red.
Any ideas how to go about this?

Maybe create some interesting projects that people will want to join in order to help implement/build them together. But this is also not the easiest task.
Unfortunately, I myself don't have much free time to read political literature nowadays.
It's just my thought. I don't have real knowlendge about how to create such a collective.

But if something like this exists or appears, I could even remotely participate if I could be of any use.
