You felt the need to ask for a reason, so yes use a pseudonym.

Will make it harder for rightwing freaks to dox you, so I say yes, but tbh if you fear retribution from the state there’s a lot more you need to do
My vote is yes. It will probably make you somewhat risk free
OP definitely should use a pseudonym, but that's unfortunately nowhere near enough to decouple the essays from their real identity on the Internet 😐
If you are still somewhat young, its better to use a pseudonym. I'm not sure how "spicy" we are talking, but you might not be as much of an "extremist" when you grow up, so it's better to not have these ideas permanently linked to your name. It might even affect job prospects, no matter whether you change your ideology or not.
"Lenin" was a pseudonym, wasn't it?
I'd vote to use the pseudonym.
Reminds me how Lenin was arrested in Kraków in 1914 for "spying", A-H gendarmes completely missing the fact he was de facto leader of big communist party and tons of illegal party correspondence he had out there in the open in his home, but they confiscated his completely legal notes about economy and statistics because lots of numbers and tables = spying.
@KKSankara@lemmygrad.ml yes you absolutely should.
Just thought to mention: Kraków was then part of the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Also while searching around, I've found this article claiming that Vladimir Lenin would " hang out with Polish heavyweight writers like Stanisław Witkiewicz and Stefan Żeromski" in the nearby Zakopane. I was unable to find any evidence for this though. Both of them were in Zakopane or Kraków at the time from what I gather.
it's unclear if they really hanged on. I do know Żeromski works are very heavily propagandised after 1989 to be portrayed in the anticommunist manner.
Hopefully I'm packitng to the choir here, but passing with a VPN is also a good idea.
