I talked to them and they were pretty nice. Tried to sell me a newspaper though! But I expected them to do that.

First off everyone who is anticapitalist in public is in danger. As for censoring , It's a courtesy we should just adhere to on this site considering we do/did the same for protesters and photos of them, even though protests happen in public and by people who didn't always mask.

I just figure that the same rule of thumb should be extended, especially considering that now OP has also somewhat self doxxed by posting this photo as well. But this website is weird about trots sometimes so

Edit: I'll also note that the things you bring up ,namely that the org name is visible, is very different than the personally identifiable image of a face, and mixing the two together is silly.

This sentence doesn't contradict my comment at all.

Were the Trotskyists doing "anticapitalism in public" when they supported the Hong Kong separatist movement in 2019-2020? The Hong Kong separatist movement which was sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy.

Beyond that, RCI has a Taiwan branch with active chapters in at least 6 cities. They oppose Chinese re-unification. They oppose Mao. They oppose Xi Jinping. They oppose the CPC. Open the article below that RCI published and translate it. RCI says that "Taiwan is already a fully independent country".

This is just one example. RCI holds many ideas that most hexbear users would not agree.
