Greetings, people.
I am from the United States, born and raised. I would not really call myself a leftist per se, I am really an anarchist with leftist sympathies. My focus is mainly on exposing and dismantling corrupt institutions. Institutions are meant to oppress. Let me give you an example. In the Syrian conflict, many people were supporting Assad because the rebels were far worse. I agree that the rebels were far worse, especially teaming up with the West, however I rejected that binary viewpoint and also spoke out against Assad. I also despise the government of Iran, BUT I do admire their resistance to Western banking interests. So I may show support for some governments due to their stance against Western imperialism, but I will also go on to condemn their policies.
My main specific points of interest:
-Eliminating any and all types of internet censorship, from government censorship of information, to conservative censorship of "cuss words" and the like, etc; also keeping the internet free
-Eliminating the current prison system mainly in the US which is indistinguishable from slavery
-Crippling criminal religious organizations such as the church of Scientology, the Catholic church, Westboro Baptist, etc
-Envrionmentalism; protesting Monsanto, fracking, whaling, extension of oil pipelines, etc
-Protection of journalists and whistle blowers like Snowden, Manning, etc
-Dismantling the Federal Reserve, European central banks, the IMF, etc; basically I oppose international debt slavery
And of course as an anarchist, I agree with a hardcore socialist approach to the economy. None of that anarcho capitalist bs. Corporations are just as bad, if not worse than governments.
I definitely oppose Stalinism, and I would have been one of those marching against the USSR government in the late 80s (even though it had abandoned Stalinism long before that). Although, Lenin's USSR I would support. When I say I support leftist movements, I mainly mean grass roots rebels, not some kind of dotp.
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. Feel free to debate me on anything you disagree with too. I look forward to posting here!
