Solidarity, comrades.
I have been following these forums for awhile now, and thought I would go ahead and jump in. The title of my post pretty much sums up who I am. I've been a leftist my entire life, and have moved farther and farther left as I have gotten older (in my thirties).
I am a physician by training and I'm disgusted by what my profession has become. I have completely left corporate medicine and work in a free clinic where I try to keep the currently uninsured/unemployed proletariat alive until our country decides to take care of its citizens.
Since I have spent most of my life in some form of training, I have only recently begun to delve into leftist literature and solidify where I stand on most political issues. I know for certain I am a socialist and I from what I have read so far, I seem to have some serious leanings toward Marxism. I am sure this will evolve with time.
Anyways... that's me. Great to finally jump in.
