Hello Comrades, I'm Bramma.

Obviously, I'm new to this forum, so I may need to gather my bearings before I participate in any serious debate, but one day I surely will.

So, I've classed myself as a supporter for Communist ideology for about a year now. I was always a fan of things Soviet-Style (being honest, only because it looked cool), but in my first year of college I took a course on politics, which I promptly failed, but I still learned a lot about myself on said course. It turns out I was the only person that was a Communist in the class, and one of 3 left wing students (the other two being "New Labour" which I wouldn't really consider left-wing at all). So anyway, on this course I decided to find out what interested me, and where I fitted in on the political spectrum, and it turned out I was far-left, so, y'know, good for me. I did encounter a lot of hostility for this and suffered the usual scrutiny one would expect from a class full of Capitalist Piglets. I nearly lost my way a few months back, which I'm glad to say I reversed, as the pressure of the people I talked to was putting me off what I myself believed in. After talking with some Internet friends I re-established myself as a Communist and have vowed since then not to let the bullshit of Capitalist Vermin get to me.

You'll be happy to hear they all raged at me for reverting to my Communist views, which I promptly shot down with help from this forum (bit of a lurker).

Anyway comrades, that's my story, I'm here now and I'll be glad to mingle with some left-wingers who are on the correct side of the political spectrum.

Comrade Bramma.

Welcome comrade! So you've taken a college corse on politics and found yourself sideing with the left eh? Wise choice my friend, wise choice indeed. Have you read into communism much yet? If not I would strongly suggest Frederick Engels' "principals of communism" for your first read.

If you are familiar with the basics and such feel free to jump right in, I'm sure you'll find plenty of intelligent discussion here.

Thanks for the warm welcome comrades, and I'll be sure to read that Makarov (great name comrade, much love for the Call of Duty games (shame about the corporation sucking the franchise for every cent)).
