Hello.

[Sweenette]

Hi I'm Sweenette from Australia.
Somewhat inactive from leftism due to the limitations of being a high school communist, but I'm trying to get back in business and am writing a paper (undetermined yet) but probably about how the theory of communism has been corrupted. It might change so if anyone has any good ideas, then sing a tune and I'll get back to you.
It's great to find a forum like this, most people I know don't take my political opinions seriously due to my age, so being able to be in contact with all of you is great :lol:

Look I am a trot too but really I don't think anyone is gonna miraculously convert because you told them to in the first post. Take it easy :D
Anyway welcome

[GoddessCleoLover]

Welcome.

[Comrade Samuel]

Welcome to revleft comrade, play nice and don't eat the yellow snow.

[Brosip Tito]

Welcome to this place.

May I suggest you read some Marx and Engels, maybe some Bakunin and Kropotkin?

After that maybe you'd like Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg, Gramsci, Zizek, Chomsky, Harvey, or whoever.

Anyways, don't get sucked into a label right away. Tendencies you develop over time. You may be a trot tomorrow, but a left communist next year.
