I've been a member for a while now, but haven't posted anything so far. I figured it was time to post something.

I'm a recovering liberal (Obama finally pushed me over the edge) who is trying to learn more about Marxism and other forms of revolutionary leftism, but I have no idea where I stand or which tendency I most identify with. I'm mostly here to learn.

Hello, welcome.

As for tendencies, don't worry; learn as much as you can about what you can. There's no rush to label yourself.

Happy learning

Welcome :)

Please do post more and ask questions in our Learning section as that is a good way to learn.

If you're a recovering liberal, I suggest you look into Trotskyism, particularly the ISO strain. It's an easier transition than going from the Democrats to Marxism-Leninism/Maoism.

Says the biggest troll on the internets.

Don't trolololI'm not trolling. I legitimately hope that's a joke and-

1. He's not suggesting that someone use an ideology as a transition to another ideology. State capitalist theory isn't meant to be a "transition ideology" (there is no such thing) for liberals to eventually find their way to Marxism-Leninism. The suggestion that someone should take up any ideology with the intent of using it as a mid-point between one ideology and another is rubbish. An ideology is a set of ideas which comprises what we believe in- anyone who can hop from one tendency or ideology to another is either not well informed or lacks conviction. The former is someone who shouldn't even claim a tendency, and the latter cannot be relied upon to even remain on the left.

2. I honestly do hope that if he MUST take a tendency, which I would prefer he didn't, he finds one that is actually functional.
