Hello my comrades,

My name is John and I am from the United States. For as long as I have remembered I have been on the left, in just about every aspect of society.

Recently, I have really been pulled in by the thoughts of Communism, Socialism, and the like. The reasons for my interest are because I hate racism, extreme poverty, and I love the environment. But, most of all, the one thing that I hate the most is this world is greed.

Now, I will admit to this. I am not poor, I am actually probably considered upper class by many. In other words, I have money. Sometimes, I feel ashamed of this? But the fact is, having money and still supporting leftist ideas is a rare thing, so I am sort of proud in that sense.

Anyways, I can't wait to start talking with you guys.

You are in good company, Engels was also wealthy, his father was a factory owner. ;)

Welcome. :)

As Rjevan said, Engels was bourgeois, but still supported leftist ideas! ;)
