Very nice to meet you, from the United States!

It's good to have another person joining the worker's struggle.

Anything else you could share? :confused:

[Snard]

Welcome.

Welcome comrade!

I'm an American in New York of Irish decent, my mother's family coming over during the famine and my father's family coming over in 1929, after spending a few generations in Scotland after the famine. My grandfather who greatly influenced my political views was a socialist who lived in the Irish slums in Glasgow. My name kind of honors him as he was a big Celtic supporter.

One of our long time members and mod of the history forum BOZG is also from Ireland, from Cork I believe.

Hello! I don't know if you're new to leftism or not, but in case 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)

Are you interested in any particular tendency right now?

If you're not new, welcome! :)
