Good evening all, I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello.
A little about me, I'm from the south of England, not much of a left presence down here.
Not sure what label you would give to my politics, anarcho-syndicalist perhaps??
So that's that then.
Hope to get to know you guys and girls.
Peace.

Greetings - I suspect that there are probably some Anarcho-Syndicalists near you. Are you aware of the Solidarity Federation (SolFed)?

I'm pretty new to "organised" politics in general to be honest. So I'm not aware of them. I'll look them up though. Many thanks.

Welcome to Revleft Overcome! Nice to be reminded once in a while that the South isn't a uniform mass of bloody tories!

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)
What drew you to anarcho-syndicalism?
If you're not new, welcome and ignore my copied and pasted post! :lol:

Read up on Pannekoek if you are an anarcho-syndicalist. His book Workers Councils http://www.marxists.org/archive/pannekoe/1947/workers-councils.htm

I've always wanted to visit England. I hear it hardly ever rains, and is warm all year round.
