My name is James, and I am a student from Austin, TX. Despite the overbearingly right-winged influence in Texas, Austin remains a more open-minded sanctuary for all intellectuals.
I am a veganarcho-communist, and am influenced by collective efforts, mutual aid, gift economy, animal liberation, human liberation, earth liberation (green anarchism, though not full primitivism), anti-fascism, and so on, so forth.
I believe in interspecies-liberty, the refusal to unnecessarily cause pain unto another living thing which has a wish to avoid said pain in a similar manner to humans. Therefore, I also abstain from animal products in my life. It is a personal choice which I would be happy to talk to anyone about from an intellectual and ethical standpoint.
Being raised by a right-wing family, Karl Marx introduced me to new philosophies. As time progressed, I found that I enjoyed his anti-authoritarian writings the most, such as pointing out the flaws of the state, and his original hopes for communism. As Kropotkin pointed out: communism breeds anarchy, anarchy breeds communism. Afterwords, I read works by people such as Billy Ayers and the Weather Underground, Bakunin, Kropokin, Chomsky, Che Guevara (diary), Lenin ("Revolution and State", a surprisingly anti-authoritarian piece of writing), Tolstoy, Peter Singer. I agree a little with all, and I agree completely with none.
All-in-all, a well-read and researched supporter of alternatives to capitalism and centralized authority. I wish nothing but the best to everybody here.
Meat-free, green, pro-equality, anarchist, communist.
Let me also say that I find common grounds with even less anarchistic anti-capitalists, despite my own political leanings.
