Hello,I am a brazilian student(not studying at the moment but sounds better than "idle" lol). A bit of a poet and writer, and also someone with a passion for history, sociology and politics.
My father was a big socialist leader here(kinda inactive those days though due to some political plots against him and because of his age) and helped in the founding of the Worker's Party...which is sadly going right wing, he still supports the left factions however who wish to bring the party back to its origins. (the youth are especially hostile against the social liberal presence in the party).
Initially on politics because of personal issues(some psychological traumas) I was a political douchebag, you know individualist, wanting to "rebel" against my father, fascist tendencies, all that terrible egocentrism.
But as a result of the same traumas I started maturing a lot earlier than most people in my age, and started spending most of my time studing history and politics.
Then as my personality got more "stable" and I matured I couldn't agree with my previous ideas anymore and found myself agreeing more and more with dad.(I still hold some different ideas of course, like everyone should)
So now I am a Trot, mixed with some degree of Anarcho-syndicalism, Humanism and a few other things. I am a bit of a pan-leftist as well as I favor working with all the left as long as their ideas don't compromise the ultimate goal of socialism(a free and equal society).
Religiously I am and always was an atheist, both dad and mom were atheists so I didn't have any brainwashing on that regard. Before commiting myself though I studied all religions and came to the conclusion they are all bull (I respect individual choice however if not churches).
As a trot I probably don't have to tell you about my views on the "socialist" countries. But I would work even with Stalinists, Hoxhaists, and Maoists if they agree to work with me (which I doubt).
Something I always get angry is when other socialists deify some of our thinkers.
Anyway...greeting you all no matter which tendency you have. :thumbup1:
