Hi everyone. I just signed on to revleft--I've had an account on libcom.org for a while, as soyonstout612. I've been interested in revolutionary politics for about 6 years, beginning with anarchism, then after a flirtation with situationism, becoming interested in left communism. I live in a U.S. city on the east coast and I work for the city in the library. The town I live in has a political scene mainly dominated by anarchists, with some big groupings of Trotskyists & Maoists as well. I talked to some of these groups around the same time I started talking to the ICC, last fall, but have since become more clearly a left communist/luxemburgist on a number of issues. There's a big contract fight with the city workers where I live and I've been trying to figure out a way to get other workers talking together about what to do beyond the mindless union-controlled contract negotiations and pseudo-solidarity the union arranges which prevents participation and conscious collective discussion and initiative on the part of the rank and file (imo).
I joined the Left Communists discussion group, but I'm pretty new to revleft and trying to figure out how everything works.
I'll get more details on my account soon.
