So, to follow the 'A Guide For Newcomers'(I like to follow directions:blushing:)
- Where are you from, whats the leftist scene there like?
I'm Steven from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland where the leftist scene is comprised of a pretty small libertarian socialist group, a social-democratic party who is a minority party in government and where the democratic socialist middle ground between the two is dominated by Trotskyist parties who have several members elected to parliament...
- What branch of leftism do you subscribe to?
The political compass(which I love) puts my centre-of-gravity in the democratic socialist zone. Though I find myself reading Libertarian Marxist books and websites mostly. So maybe democratic socialism is my 'minimum program':)
- How did you become a leftist?
I ate some bad fish...;) Eh, but doesn't 'everything' have a political context? So 'leftism' just happens to be mine.
