sup guys just joined the site. lets see a little about me, im mexican and 100% legal. my parents came to the US way back in the day with working permits and eventually got social securties (god bless) and they spent years working in factories in chicago. fast forward years later my dad gets job offer to open a mexican resteraunt and he decides to take it. fast forward a couple years several resteraunts and failures and i was born. hm i was born and raised catholic (baptism, communion, confermation, catechism the whole shebang) but now that im older idk what i really am or what to believe thats i was interested in the site and maybe anyone could help me or shed some light on some of my questions. like i said i really dont know what i believe in when it comes to politics, government, religion, and revolutionary things but id like to start finding out bc im 20 now. if anyone can help me discover myself then id appreciate it. now that im a member im sorry if i ask stupid question, noob questions, questions that have asked 10000 times, ignorant questions, if i say the wrong thing, or insult anyone. i assure you that itd be due to my laziness or lack of intelligence any anny matters pertaining to those questions.

Welcome to the site, settle in and read a little. If you have a question, looking through the history and learning sections to see if the topic has been covered before. A lot of topics come up again and again, and you're probably more likely to come across the best answers by digging a little bit.

Also, we have a search function that makes it easier. Don't think I'm telling you not to post, either, just don't forget that there's around 10 years of great discussion here to look through.


Hope you enjoy your stay. :)

100% legal
Just so you know, we don't care. That is one of the fundamentals of what most of us believe. No borders, no nations.

Welcome! A great place to read up on some leftist literature is at:

marxists.org

From Marx and Engels, to Lenin and Luxemburg, to Kropotkin and Bakunin.

Aside from that, the learning section is there, and you can ask any question. If you'd prefer to search for the topic, do that too, because I am sure most of what you may ask has been covered!

Yes, even us authoritarian folk don't actually believe that anyone can be illegal based on their national origin.

thanks smyg and redbrother that means a lot. growing up it was really lame to get picked on about that stuff so its good to find someone who doesnt care about that.

One tip - don't view the old works and theories as an absolute necessity, or a bible. A lot of people tend to do that. :D

Hope you'll feel welcome and learn a lot here on Revleft.
