Should I use a pseudonym when writing political essays?

I don't know if I'm being overly paranoid or what, but I can't tell if it's safe for me openly publish some spicy stuff under my legal name. Not to sound like I think I'm the most popular girl at school, but don't most prominent leaders go by pseudonyms the rest of their lives? Not saying I'm Lenin but...

EDIT: Alright comrades you've won me over. New name, new me.

  • "Lenin" was a pseudonym, wasn't it?

    I'd vote to use the pseudonym.

    • Reminds me how Lenin was arrested in Krakรณw 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.
