Hey there RevLeft!
Glad to be joining all of ya'll on this site for discussion and learning and whatnot.
To introduce myself, I'm a high-schooler who believes that he is past the teenage rebellion point of calling himself a commie. :lol: Although I don't know too terribly much as of yet, I've been learning over the past 3 years.
Ironically enough, I was introduced to my brother when he got a copy of Guerrilla Warfare by Ernesto Guevara and by his non-stop listening to Rage Against the Machine at the same time (too bad he's now studying finance :p).
The activity where I'm at is non-existent. I only know one other commie and have been able to get one of my friends at least interested in learning. But thanks to the internet I've been in contact with other comrades who have been helping me learn over the last couple years.
As for my ideology, I still haven't been able to pinpoint where I am exactly, although from most of what I've thought and read I believe myself to be near Trotskyism, but haven't truly limited myself from other beliefs. I guess this is because I've been more interested in learning the flaws of the otherside and haven't been focusing on the flaws of the insides of communism, which, from reading around on here I've been able to learn a lot from the way people debate.
I've been reading a lot of the threads on here and have gotten to the point where I thought I needed to join ya'll and thank you all for your post over however far back I've read and more. So, thank you and I hope to be able to contribute to some new comrade's learning in the future. :)
