i'm pretty new to the leftist scene, but i'm definitely serious about my positions and interested in learning more. i'm in a pretty ignorant area, but somehow i managed to get past the reaganomics of the bible belt and started questioning the way things really are. i'm still trying to find out exactly where i stand, which has been hard because i've been taking in so much information from everywhere, but i know i'm a marxist of some kind. i've been trying to look into de leonism and some other variants of marxism so that i can find the closest fit, but no luck so far on finding a proper label for my beliefs.
if you want a little background, i was raised in a pretty liberal household, so i've always been an ally to the lgbt movements and whatnot, but i never really realized that capitalism is the root of all evil, so i pushed for reform within the system. this past year i disappointed my step-dad (a registered republican) when i came out as a democratic socialist, but since then i've realized that reform is useless, and the only way of achieving socialism is through a revolution. just a year ago i was a huge supporter of obama and the democratic party and i even joined my local dems with hopes of running for office, but now i hate the man's guts and the party is just a means of subduing the revolution, so i want no part in it.
i've been debating on whether or not i should join revleft or not, because i rarely do anything like this, but i constantly find myself on here whenever i have a question that needs an answer, so i finally gave in and here i am.
