OMG! I died and went to heaven! :) An ALL-COMMUNIST forum! I never thought such a forum existed! (especially one so active)

So, greetings to you all, comrades. I come seeking a friendly place to talk with fellow marxists and leftists, after... let's see, nearly 2 years now... of debating, arguing, and outright fighting against capitalists on various other forums and communities.

A little about myself and my views:

First of all, I'm a Christian. Yes, yes, I know that Christianity and Communism are usually seen as clashing opposites, but that is only because of the selfish money-hungry clergy that has corrupted it in the last millenium. Keep in mind that the first Christians lived in socialist communities, and as comrade Gorbachev once said:
"Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better future for mankind."

Second, I'm an extreme liberal and libertarian, and I have my own vision of how a socialist political system should look like (basically, a combination of direct participation democracy and a system of councils made up of technocrats - I'll elaborate more on it later).

Finally, I am proud to be a Communist, and I will fight in support of the marxist economic model and for the liberation of the exploited classes of the world until my dying day.

Long live the Revolution!

Liberation theology emerged in Latin America shortly after the second Vatican council. It is largely interested in the social dimension of the Gospel, especially with Jesus’ association with the poor. It is concerned with the poor peoples struggle against oppressive social structures (which was central to Jesus’ mission)
