Greetings, I am Foxface. I am 34/m/ IL and married to a lovely woman. I have a masters in Clinical Psychology and am a licensed therapist.

To me I have always believed in Socialism when I didn't even really know the name of it. All the progress needed in my opinion comes to the ultimate conclusion that we shouldn't need to pay for basic services and that corporations are filled with greed and destruction. I'll get deeper into it later but essentially I have learned quick about the hypocrisy of the right and believe in one major factor.

WWJD...you know what Jesus would do? He'd help the meek. I get sick of watching the religious right spout WWJD while they work to advance policy that will crush anyone not in the 1%

so yeah off my soapbox...nice to meet you all

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.

Welcome! I went to school at U of I in the late nineties (actually, I went to bar more than I went to school, which is why I didn't graduate LOL). It's a fun town.

I live west of Chicago now (I grew up here). If you have any questions about the leftist community up here, or about the Party for Socialism and Liberation (I'm a member), just let me know.

Welcome Comrade FoxFace,

I hope you are as happy in your relationship as I was with my marriage. She died 3 years ago.

You sound like an interesting person, and you'll get a lot of challenges if you hang out here. It can be a bit rough at times, but then so often we who are revolutionaries are the ones who are sensitive enough to be thoroughly alienated by capitalism, and we are humans.

I'm pleased you came here.

Regards,
