greetings from the old dominon comrades

as I write I am sitting south of the capital of the confederate states of America so as you may suspect this area is bastion of the reactionary imperialist attitude which seems to permeate this country I am a construction worker a firm member of the working class I look forward to communication with fellow comrades

Welcome Comrade! I'm from New York, though once worked in Norfolk Virginia as a plumber. Virginia is not the most reactionary state in the union, or in the old confederacy... though there is much of it there. I welcome you to the board and look forward to your posts. :grin:

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! :)
