Hello comrades!
I live in Denmark, a nice little country.
My politics can be described as a kind of left (council) communism, i am against the vanguard party theory, but i am not categorically opposed to the participation in parliamentary elections and such.
Although i am a left communist i still have some respect for Stalin, and i think, that much of what is been said about him killing 20-120 millions of people is just lies.
I think that the USSR only was real socialist in the first half year after the October Revolution, but i do not think, that the bolsheviks were evil people that just pretended to be socialists in order to take power for themselves, i think that they actually thought that they were doing the right thing to strenghten the cause of the workers and socialism, the autotharian attitude wasn´t because they were evil, but because of a kind of "overprotective behaviour", they were afraid, that if they weren´t so autotharian, then the capitalists would take power.
I belive that Stalin was responsible for the creation of much of the bureocracy, but ironically enough, he was the only one, to prevent it from becoming to much powerfull (i see the purges against the bureocracy especially in 1936-1937 as a good thing, the problem was that they became "witch-hunts"), after the dead of Stalin, the bureocracy prevailed (so here i agree with the anti-revisionists (maoists and hoxhaists)).
I am also a christian, and i find it irritating that so many Americans think that communism somehow goes against the Bible, i mean, where is it written that "thou must not be a supporter of any ideology that wants to make the means of production common property and supports the cause of the poor".
