Hello all, I've perused RevLeft boards for a while, but just decided to get an account. I hope to network with like-minded people and basically add another comrade's voice to the march to critical mass.
Ideologically, I'm a bit of a mutt, but a pragmatist overall. My worldview definitely has spiritual underpinnings and is focused on manifesting the maximum creative potential of each individual, and the abolition of all forms of tyranny.
I have spent some time on the road, which is what really opened my eyes and radicalized me, putting the passion and a heart behind all my dry theories, animating them with life force and leading them to finally bear fruit in my actions.
I have read a bit of Marx and the rest, enough to where I feel I get the main ideas, yet have much more learning to do. Instead, I prefer reading books of differing political perspectives to challenge what I think. I already know I'll build up some wisdom from this site, as well, and look forward to it.
"Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!"
-Marx
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
-Edmund Burke
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
-Margaret Mead
