I've already noticed a few comrades on here from other movements, namely the IRSP (a party I have great admiration for and have no doubt that if Seamus Costello was alive today, would be a major player) and am happy to join them here and learn about their positions.
I'm 17 years old, and have been active in politics since 2007 when I joined Sinn Féin, a Republican Socialist party (some of the Irps here might have different views, which I welcome and will take on board, but at the moment I feel that as the largest party it offers the best hope), and am still learning alot about different sections of the Revolutionary Left, and am here to learn a lot more, especially as I grow more militant with the more I learn.
I've begun reading Marx's Communist Manifesto, a book I had overlooked as I started out with James Connolly's Labour in Irish History, but both I find equally relevant and even prophetic to the modern day conditions. I am looking forward to reading his many other writings, before moving onto contemporary Socialist writers.
