My name is Pablo, and I am from South Florida, USA...late 20's, born and raised here in Miami, of Cuban descent.
I was raised in part by my grandmother, who was a passionate Castro supporter who was forced to move to Miami due to family/political issues (it is a long story worth of a movie lol) in the early 60s. She engrained in me a deep belief in social justice and equality.
My personal ideological journey has led me from being a staunch Democrat as a kid, to a libertarian in college, to moving further to the left and opening my mind to new ideas in the past few years. I am definitely still figuring myself out ideologically, and trying to find my own personal balance between ideology and pragmatism in our current society. I hope to learn a lot here and continue to figure out exactly what I believe (though i am sure it will always continue to be an evolution).
Currently i am very drawn to learning about Eco-Socialist ideas, Pirate/Open Source ideas, Georgism, haha, libertarian socialism....a bit all over the place i know!
Anyway, feel free to ask me any questions you may have, and i hope to have a great experience on here!
