Greetings Comrades!
It is good to know that forums such as these exist. Doubly more so because majority of the rest of the internet, and quite frankly a good portion of the world are, shall we say, less than friendly to us and our ideological convictions.
Anyways, I'm Orlyevich (pseudonym, not the real name of course) and I come from the territories of the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. Former Socialist Republic of Serbia to be exact.
As for my ideological beliefs, I would begin saying that I am by no means anarchist - With the exception of our ultimate goal: Communism, which is by the definition stateless.
Unlike some of the fellow Comrades who come from the same territories as I do, I'm not exactly a Titoist.
Frankly, beyond the "Marxist-" part, I doubt I'd fit into any of the existing categories, since I take parts with which I agree with from many of the isms, for example:
Worker's Self-Management from Titoism (albeit I believe that it should be implemented much further than it was)
Vanguard Party from Leninism (with some modifications, perhaps)
Permanent Revolution from Trotskyism
Collectivization from Stalinism (albeit I disagree with how Stalin implemented it)
Beyond that, I believe that, unlike what happened in some attempts to create a Socialist state, people should be granted a high amount of civil rights and liberties (even if the State should be weary of any reactionaries that would try to abuse this), that the Vanguard Party should be open to anyone who wishes to directly help the Proletariat's Struggle (with required reading list so that person knows what the Party is all about, and of course background checks to ensure he or she are not reactionaries trying to create a counterrevolution from within).
Furthermore, I believe that the Worker's Soviets should be used as devices of democracy on the level of a workplace, a city, regional level and ultimately on the level of the entire State.
That should cover the basics of my beliefs, however that is only the nutshell of it all, as I have other influences, as well as my own concept here and there.
Anyways, it's good to be here and I look forward to the many discussions that are ahead of us.
