Greetings from Los Angeles, CA. Currently enrolled at Los Angeles Pierce College, as a Political Science major, and plan to transfer to University in the next year or so (still not certain where yet but it seems I will be moving out of state). Politics is my passion, and I consider myself a leftist-Marxist to the core (sorry Leninists :lol: ). I guess my username says it all. I was first introduced to Marxism in a philosophy class I took last year, and was almost instantly drawn in by his concepts of "the history of class struggle", Dialectical Materialism, etc. I appreciated most of the other theorists we studied in their own way, but Marx was by far the most compelling. At the time, I was actually a business major, but this class converted me :D It amazes me how the misconceptions of Marxist theory are still strong today, especially in light of our current economic circumstances....which make his theories all the more relevant if you ask me. Look forward to some great and insightful conversations with you guys!
