Huddled within my hovel atop the Ozark plateau I am the Disgruntled Old Coot, star of neither stage nor screen.

My abode is basically a bunker within my compound where my regime of one is the current center of operations for my duties as the National Master-at-Arms of the Student Revolutionary Strike Force (SRSF).

Appointed in the early 1980s at a California college that will go unnamed for security reasons the SRSF is different things to various folks but a general agreement that binds us is that there was and is some serious problems within the USA.

Started by a band of military veterans, some who had served while in Vietnam or during the Vietnam era our members have spread across the land as the winds of life strew us in many directions.

Each of us is a seed that is planted where it falls.

No one person or entity is responsible for the Occupy movement but I believe our efforts over the decades have, at the least, assisted in fertilizing the soil that Occupy took root in.

Hello to all residing on this message board.

From my shanty to yours I spread sincere wishes that good health and happiness descends upon thee and that We, the People's efforts to bring about much-needed change to a USA that has become increasingly engaged in class warfare, started by the elites of the USA and their multitude of systems manned by loyal lackey politicians and bureaucrats, results in blessing being broadcast across the land instead of being accumulated and horded by greedy anti-human vermin.

Hello! I don't know if you're new to this sort of leftism or not, but if you are, have you read Friedrich Engel's Principles of Communism (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm) and/or his Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/06/09.htm)? It's available at marxists.org (Marxists Internet Archive).

I'd recommend checking this out (MIA): Beginners Guide to Marxism (http://marxists.org/subject/students/index.htm) and Lenin's The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism (http://marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/mar/x01.htm).

Also, here are a few books (PDFs) that are a good introduction to Marxism.

Marx: A Beginner's Guide (http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/e8cf47710e69d334b5e9e87b31f39d5c/Collier+-+Marx+A+Beginners+Guide.pdf)

The Revolutionary Ideas of Karl Marx (http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/d82d1569f5dc8ef869a21aba711c0f88/Callinicos+-+Revolutionary+Ideas+of+Marx.pdf)

Of course, if you're not new to communism, then welcome! :)
