Hello, I'm Young Pioneer.
I've been looking for a place where people share some of my views, and am relieved to think I have!
I don't specify where exactly I fall on the "communist spectrum," simply because I believe there's already quite enough division among communists without going there. Time and again I've been discouraged by the non-unification of proclaimed communists simply on the premise that they fall on different areas of the anti-capitalist spectrum (i.e. fighting erupting between trotsky-ists, maoists, etc.).
Anyway! I am a political science/international studies double major in university. I do adore the eastern block countries and have traveled extensively there, though I don't believe communism in true form has ever existed there. Is anyone here affiliated with the CPUSA? I should like to be, but often fear it will lead to discrimination not only from friends and relatives, but also from future graduate schools and employers.
Thank you for seeming like a welcoming place! :)
