Hello Comrades!

I'm a Leninist from the Netherlands. I discovered communism a few years ago, after buying the Manifesto out of curiosity. Since reading 'Lenin's Collected Works #33', I've never moved out of Leninism, and I completely idolize the Bolshevik Party leaders, with the notable exception of Joseph Stalin, whom I believe 'usurped' the Soviet Union.
I also write my own political blog, at bolshevik-leninist.tumblr.com.

[[[A little edit a few months later, after some extensive Cuba-studying, I now also consider myself a foco-vanguardist Castroist.

Regards,
Red Intellectual

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

I'm also from the Netherlands. "Bolshevik-Leninist" is often a synonym for "Trotskyist", so are you in any Trotskyist group?

Greetings comrade. I personally believe that Stalin wasn't that much worse than Lenin, they were both anti-democratic, authoritarian statists.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! :)

Well, Trotsky developed this term as a name for non-Stalinist Leninists. Or non-Stalinist Bolsheviks, whatever you prefer. So I do not necessarily consider myself a Trotskyist, but since I oppose Stalinism I chose this term to distanciate myself from it.

Welcome, Red! :lol:

There are lots of Stalin-worshippers here, but I think you'll still like most of us.
