New, obviously. I'm a grad student and general radical leftist. I suppose anarcho-communism would be where I fall most. Also a feminist (absolutely not a libfem and absolutely not a terf).

I'm into critical theory. It's no exaggeration to say it's basically my life. Specifically Marxism/materialism, post-structuralism, feminist cyborg theory, philosophy of science, and philosophy of horror. Marx, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, Jameson, Nietzsche, Donna Haraway, Katherine Hayles, Jorge Luis Borges, Eugene Thacker, Thomas Ligotti, McKenzie Wark, and so on. I'm all over the place. My master's thesis is on transhumanism.

Apart from that I like science fiction, horror, gothic literature, speculative and weird fiction, doing my own writing in those genres, surrealist and symbolist art, following politics and yelling at liberals, darknet stuff, liberation of books, papers, research, education, and knowledge in general from capitalist restrictions, cats, deep sea creatures, gaming, autumn, and figuring out how to get involved in collective organizing while being a total recluse.

I was a teenage libertarian (that sounds like the title of a shitty horror film) and now through a combination of lots of reading/self-education and experience of transitioning to living on my own and being poor, I have evolved into a commie.

What else? I am more than a bit combative in debates if someone is being ignorant or irrational but I'll try to be nice. I'm def not into the constant fracturing of the American leftist scene into a million different groups over minuscule ideological differences and the petty squabbling that accompanies it so I'm not gonna be playing that game. I may or may not be made of flesh.

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, there is lots of leftists who like sci-fi and even leftist influenced sci-fi you will find interesting. I've invited you to the sci-fi group.
