Well hello there, as you can tell I'm new to Revolutionaryleft.com. I usually go by the alias of Zapatista but somebody has already taken it so I used my backup.

Lets see, about me... I'm really into heavy metal (and most of the sub-genres: Black, Death, Thrash, Speed, Doom, Folk/Viking. PM me if you want to learn more). I'm currently learning more about communism, because what I've learned about it (That wasn't just hateful bashing by American schools) really appeal to me.

I'm currently in college but I attend a community college because I had health problems my senior year of high school and was going to go to Michigan State University but I decided to stay home and not risk being sick at school (I have the mental disease, Schizoaffective Disorder. Again, PM if you want to learn more). I'm planning on getting a bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology and either double major with Spanish or minor in Spanish. I plan to get my masters in clinical psychology after my 2 years at a 4 year school and I would want to work in a hospital helping patients who are brought in that have mental health issues.

That's basically me in a nutshell. (Oh if you know of any good books on Communism, particulary Trotskyism, Leninism or Marxism, other than the Communist Manifesto and Capital, let me know I would be forever gratefull).

Welcome to the forums! Regarding books, I suppose the communist manifest is the obvious one, State and the Revolution by Lenin is said to be good, though I've never read it myself. There are also links to quite lengthy articles on the theory behind communism on these boards.

The death agaony of caitalism and the tasks of the 4th international is well worth a read as well.
