Hello, people from RevLeft! How do you feel?
For some time I used to be only a casual reader of this forum, sometimes using one or another information in debates; e.g. it helped a lot in the debunking of some lies about communism. Then, I decided to sign up and contribute to some discussions going around here.
I'm a Brasilian student; finished the Computer Network Technician and now I'm studying Technical Support. I like living here in Brasil, it's a country with no risks of getting into war with other countries; no earthquakes or things like that; it has a very hospitable and humble people - except the individualistic, egocentric, always stressed bourgeoisie and petty-bourgeoisie from the big cities; a lot of natural resources, which will help a future Proletarian State to develop the productive forces and build communism; climatic and biological diversity. But, sadly, its populist capitalist system still deceive the majority of population, and even the "leftists" are deluded with "the parliamentary way".
As you should have noted, I always write Brasil, with S, not Z. I don't like the way many people around the world see the country I live in and I oppose US cultural imperialism dominating here - mostly of imperialist influence came with the Military Dictatorship! This 7th was the Independence Day, with many military marches glorifying the crude and reactionary national army. But I was proud to see some banners of a real leftist movement in one of those marches, convoking the inquiry and punishment to executioners and enforcers of tortures, assassinations and disappearances by the Military Regime.
Ideologically, I'm a scientific socialist, that is, a "Marxist". But I'm not like that bunch of academics who deny the Bolsheviks and other - in their vision - "violent people" who some claim "were not communists" or "were communists because communism is totalitarian". These two attitudes are dumb (because they don't know what they're talking about, and still they want to criticize!) and idealist, thus: anti-communist, anti-Marxist, anti-scientific, and has to be repudiated.
I have the view that every one contributed theoretically and practically, some more than others, but everyone has something good (and bad, of course) to offer. The debate and criticism inside the left will clarify who was, at all, a good or a bad communist; and at which degree one's actions and one's ideas were wrong or right.
That's it. Any question? :D
