Greetings from a Swiss/American communist! I joined this site last summer, and I read it sometimes, but have never posted anything until now.
I'm 17, and became a communist sometime last year. I've always had sympathy for the poor and the workers, but since I didn't know anything about communism, I was kind of a social democrat. Then I started reading about communism on the internet (wikipedia etc) and pretty quickly I realized how much I agree with it.

I guess I'd call myself mostly a Leninist, but I find myself agreeing with various tendencies on different things. I really hate sectarianism though, and think the radical left needs to be way more united. It seems like some of us hate eachother even more than we hate capitalism *points to Stalinists and Trotskyists*:lol:
If you want to know more about my opinions and beliefs, just ask.

So anyway, that's my introduction and I'll start posting now:)

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

When you say you're a Leninist, do you mean Marxist-Leninist (i.e. Stalinism)?

And welcome.

Not exactly, I mean I just generally like and agree with Lenin.
My opinion of Stalin is kind of neutral, I think he did both very good and very bad things.

I actually agree with this, but when I mention it I get called an apologist for genocide by internet liberals :laugh:.

Anyway, welcome.
