Hello everyone, I've been lurking for about 2-3 months and decided to join finally. I have been in a transition since the 08 crisis to the point of being a socialist. I went from ignorant capitalist supporter, to a moralist, to a radical liberal and to finally being a socialist I suppose. I am still learning, but in a way i feel as though this was the inevitable conclusion sort of like fate. I'm reading Capital volume 1 for the first time its really tough but I plan on rereading it alot , but before capital I read alot of marx earlier writing and read some about bakunin and kropotkin, what struck me as strange was how my beliefs kind of mirror those of marx, (not saying Im marx 2.0 or nothing) sort of how his views transitioned and his disdain for hegels abstract thought led him to materalist philosophy and the same happend to me somewhat. This is just a short introduction, I dont plan on posting that much mostly learning, but as I learn more I will post more. Thanks.
