I'm not sure what you guys want to know (feel free to tell me to stfu; that's a real confidence booster from where I come from). The earliest political stance I ever took was in first grade, when I supported the invasion of Iraq. I used to be a full-on Bush supporter (for no clear reason in particular), then a (pro-war) supporter of Kerry, then a Bush supporter (again). Then I jumped on the "Hope and Change" bandwagon. The Obama years were the really formative part of my life, at least politically. I was your plain vanilla liberal up until my sophomore year in high school, when I started getting deeper in left-wing stuff, mostly Marxist. By then, the economy had been fried (several times over) and Occupy Wall Street was a year old (and already being strangled in its crib). By my junior year, I was an out-and-about Communist (not literally; I used that term to show that I was a real leftist and not some super-bold Democrat); my friends were (mostly) okay with it, although in retrospect I probably should have kept the political debates to a minimum. I even quoted the Theses of Feurerbach for my graduation photo. For the most part, my politics revolve around the more left-leaning (non-Leninist) strains of Marxism, although I am more sympathetic to the anarchist and syndicalist crowds than some of the Marxists that I've read about. I really wouldn't mind if you guys helped show me the ropes, since I'm kinda new here. If you have any questions or just wanna chat, feel free to do so. Peace out.
