The Story of a Sad Socialist

[sadsocialist]

Dear Comrades,

All my life I have fought for socialism.My girl friend left me because of my ideology,I have been forsaken by a lot of my relatives because I'm a socialist.I turned down a high paying executive job in one of the world's largest corporations for the sake of my belief.

Today I joined revleft because of two reasons-
1.I have no friends left.I am verily all alone.In spite of my personal bleak future I continue to believe in the golden dawn of socialism for humanity.I am on the look out for like minded comrades.
2.My country has been taken over by a far right party.I tried to stop them by spreading left wing ideas but my efforts came a cropper.Even then, I have not given up the fight,my fight is the fight till the bitter end.But I sure could do with a bit of moral support.

I have read tons of marxist literature & am ready to do everything necessary to bring about socialism.But I cannot do it alone-
WILL YOU GIVE ME A HAND,COMRADE?
I have nothing to lose but chains.

If you think you could assist me in anyway ,please contact me.

Thanks for reading.

[Q]

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.

That is a rather bleak situation you're in. I do hope things will have an upturn for you, so you can find a spot you're at ease with. What are your political ideas that you're so passionate about? And where are you from and what's the left like in your area?

[BolshevikBabe]

Solidarity, comrade :) I too am wondering where you're from, I feel fairly grim about the political situation in my country too but at least the far-right haven't taken hold too much here yet (well...)

Hello,
I thank of all you for the interest in my post.First off, I'm from Cheyenne,Wyoming,US.One of the most conservative states in my country. I am 29.I used to work for one of the largest mining corporations on the planet.I was with it for close to 5 years & saw a lot of exploitation of workers taking place first hand.Though I've had leftist bent since my adolescence,it was only after my work experience that I realized how evil capitalism really is,consequently I got into reading leftist literature. It was the persona & selflessness of Che,which inspired me to quit my job & get started with left wing activism on full time basis.

My political ideas: I think that socialist revolution must first start in the US, only then can it get spread to the other parts of the world.I really look up to Che Guevara.I think we need more people like him.The state of left in my state is pathetic.Almost everyone walks around in a consumerist trance. All they want to do is to have a nice time, & never mind the rampant poverty & misery in the so-called third world countries.Most people are I know are crass & beholden to capitalism.

I think the solution primarily lies in the nationalization of the means of production,& the revolution must be a world-wide phenomenon, if it is to survive.survive. What else..just about 6 years back I was also one of the consumers I despise now, I used to burn money throwing parties almost every day. Then came my job with this giant capitalist octopus & my eyes were opened. I can't bear to see the pain of poverty which billions of people suffer today.

Thus,I decided-come hell or high water, I must slay the octopus, or at the very least die trying.
When I quit my so-called cushy job, declared myself an anti-capitalist my family disowned me,the girl I thought was the love of my life left me for a top executive of the said corporation,but its okay, I guess it’s a blessing in disguise, now I have a no personal responsibilities & only one goal-KILLING THE OCTOPUS, even it should mean that I must lay down my life in a violent confrontation with it.

I joined Revleft as I am looking for potential comrades who accept the self evident truth that the revolution has got to be a violent one, I don't love violence, but it cannot be helped if we are to rid ourselves of this present brutal economic/cultural capitalist ethos. I am not looking for champagne socialist/wishy-washy leftists. There are but two possible outcome of our titanic struggle-either the capitalists pass over our body or we pass over theirs, if I should fall, I want my body to be wrapped in a sickle-hammer banner.

Please feel free to ask me questions, if you have any.

Face-to-face meetings with socialists might help you. Skype if you can.

Hello and welcome to revleft

Well if you are alone and you live in the most right wing territory, then i dont see why you cant move and improve your living conditions in a social way.



used to work for one of the largest mining corporations on the planet.I was with it for close to 5 years & saw a lot of exploitation of workers taking place first hand.Though I've had leftist bent since my adolescence,it was only after my work experience that I realized how evil capitalism really is

Perhaps you could write a blog about this?

[Gramthusser]

Verily all alone is pretty alone, that's for sure.

Welcome sadsocialist.

What mod approves all four of someone's duplicate posts?

edit: Or was it four different mods each approving it once?

[#FF0000]

Yo that's some true-believer nonsense if you started actively fucking up your life for your politics.

[synthesis]

I continue to believe in the golden dawn of socialism for humanity


2.My country [the U.S.] has been taken over by a far right party.


I used to burn money throwing parties almost every day. Then came my job with this giant capitalist octopus & my eyes were opened.


Thus,I decided-come hell or high water, I must slay the octopus, or at the very least die trying.


I have a no personal responsibilities & only one goal-KILLING THE OCTOPUS, even it should mean that I must lay down my life in a violent confrontation with it.


There are but two possible outcome of our titanic struggle-either the capitalists pass over our body or we pass over theirs, if I should fall, I want my body to be wrapped in a sickle-hammer banner.

I hate to say this in the event that I'm wrong, but my trolldar is on extremely high alert right now.

Who's bolsickle? dude i join after read a couple threads

[redguarddude]

Sad Socialist,

If you've quit your job, and have nothing going personally,at your present location, then why are you still in Wyoming? Since you have nothing keeping you there, it's time to move. As far as being a full time activist, best forget that for a while, and try to find some work.

[sadsocialist]

Do you think the communist revolution will be here by 2050?

[Q]

Merged new thread into first one by sadsocialist.

As for the question: There is no way to know what might happen by 2050... We can only prepare.

[Red Economist]

Welcome Comrade. Sounds like you've seen the evils of capitalism first hand and I think you should be proud of the fact you want to change things.

But be kind to yourself- the system won't be. You have to give yourself quiet moments outside of your values to relax and to be happy. That's how you avoid burning out and sustaining the interest over a longer period. The passion to make thing rights can be very destructive in itself.

And be wary of Che; he's not a saint. he's as human as the rest of us, but certainly does make a great poster. It's easy to project what you want to see on to some one else when you feel alone.

[Please note that poll data on revleft strongly suggests quite a young demographic, so their aren't many activists on here. I think it'd about 60-70% under the age of 34, the majority in teens and early twenties. so as a 29 year old, you'll be one of our older ones. I'll be 25 later this year].

Your story is one that I share (except some parts). Just be happy you aren't a Communist, we hold worse records than socialists.
