Greetings comrades!

[dirtysquatter]

Hello!

I'm an anarchist communist from the United Kingdom. Despite what my username would lead you to believe I'm actually a former squatter, I'm not currently squatting, and haven't been for about a year now. I'm vegan and committed to animal liberation (not to be confused with the Animal Liberation Front). I'm also straight edge and believe that it plays an important part in my politics.

I'm not that heavily read, most of my knowledge comes from lived experience and conversations with other radicals. I'm quite lucky that I live in a city with a high density of anarchist activity. I've recently started reading more though, I just finished reading Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread and am currently waiting on Bookchin's Post-Scarcity Anarchism.

I mostly came to RevLeft because I'm interesting in having more in-depth discussions about my politics with other radicals. Sadly the radical scene in the city I live in is going through a lull and the moment and other sites (like Facebook or Tumblr) aren't suitable platforms for these sort of discussions. Hopefully RevLeft will help me quench my thirst for discussion!

That's all I can be bothered to say for now, see you on the forums comrades!

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.

That may be the first time anybody has ever said that....ever. Somewhere in the deepest, darkest reaches of the UK there actually exists a city with an active leftist scene?

Regardless, I welcome to you Revleft comrade! Have fun and feel free to jump right in to the discussion.

I wouldn't say that where I live has an active leftist scene but there is definitely a large number of anarchists/anarchist organisations. We have a social centre and radical library though activities are generally quite slow at the moment.

Welcome to RevLeft! :D

I would recommend "What is Property?", by Proudhon. I think that is something as an anarchist that you would certainly be interested in.

Welcome!

I have heard from multiple people that London has quite an active anarchist scene. It is also home to the world's oldest anarchist bookstore, which suffered an arson attack from fascist scum a few months ago.

Greece seems to have the largest and most active anarchist scene though, at least from what I have heard lately.
