I am (as is self evident from my title) an Anarcho-Communist. I believe the two greatest plagues of human wellbeing are money and authority. The evil of money was self evident to me from the moment i was told that there were people in this world that could not eat solely because they did not have enough money. I came to further understand the evils of authority, which i already resented from my experiences of people in power, when i studied The Stanford Prison Study, i came to see how power itself had corrupted its wielders and that this was an almost universal effect on the human mind. It is because of this that i became an anarchist, believing absolutely that the path to happiness for myself and for others was to never seek power over others, to rebuke those that would offer me such power and fight those that seek power over me or my brothers and sisters in humanity. As for methodology i believe in non-violent direct action and self defense, the occupation and the strike are the most potent weapons of revolution, not the gun and the bomb. However i do believe that the populace has a right to be armed because the government is armed and has a history of violence and opression and because it removes some of the more naturally occuring power relationships between the weak and the strong. Right, well that is enough of an incoherent mess to be appropriate for introducing me.

Hi there. I don't know what I am yet.
You're 20k+ richer than I am, that's what you are...
Oh, you meant politically. :lol:
Also, welcome ACE (it's what I'm calling you, because I'm not writing out your whole name, even though writing this here, has taken the time, and more, to write than it would have been to written out your whole name. So welcome ACE!)

Hi there. I don't know what I am yet.
Don't worry about being part of any particular political group, form your own ideas first from watching and pondering the world. Then study similar thinkers to yourself to deepen your understanding, by then you will probably have worked out where you stand politically along the way and you'll have a strong base of ideals so you don't get caught up in any of the "tribalism" that crops up among the political groups, especially among the left.
