I stumbled upon this site via googling random stuff about political organizations. I think its gonna be great to hear political arguments from various tendencies. I've always been the type of person to listen to all sides before making a judgement but I've found it hard to do that on the ground because not everyone is knowledgable and wading through all the left vs left arguments can be tough.
I've been involved with the occupy movement since it came to my city in september, before I became radicalized through various documentaries including the Zeitgeist series (minus the conspiracy parts). I found that movement unfulfilling since they don't have a real transitional method to what the ultimate goal is and just educating people isn't enough. Quick note, the Zeitgeist movement can be criticized for many things but I would just like to point out that many of you guys could learn A LOT from its method of introducing previously apolitical (most people) to more radical ideas. Marx' ideas can stand on his own but the guy turned a hobby project into an international movement so there's obviously some untapped potential that I feel the current left is not using.
Anyways, I'm a part of the ISO now but I'm thinking about leaving due to idealogical differences which should be posted if a moderator approves it.
Peace
