Hey everyone.
My names Jeff, Eastern Michigan resident. I was reffered to this site by a friend not too long ago. I'm 16 right now, I ran into the Communism ideals about 2 years ago when I was just kinda' being a rebel by saying I liked Stalin and that, then about a year later I really started researching more on Karl Marx, bought me a copy of The Communist Manifesto and had started to realize the true potential of Communism. Hope to talk to you all in the future.

Thanks

I'm in Port Huron. Small town that quickly sprouting a lot of large businesses (and ruining the beauty of the town if you ask me). Not likely you pass through. It's in......."The thumb"

I started out the same way as you! It all started with studying Che. Then I read the Communist Manifesto, some Chairman Mao, who I don't care for, and It kinda took off from there. Welcome!

Welcome to the Forums! I'm new myself, and also of the same geographic region :D

I started when i was in 6th grade, when playing red alert I and seeing stalin, so I researched the USSR, and brought myself to Marx... I was actually supposed to go to Northern Michigan this weekend, but the trip was called off.. Pity I was going to reread some Das Kapital on the way and once there.

If you are a bit newerish to Marxism; a great, great, great website to visit is www.marxists.org

Welcome.
Would you say you are a Stalinist or some other form of Marxism-Leninism?

I would definately call myself a Marxist. In my opinion Mr. Marx had the best ideas in terms of creating a perfect nation, or as close to one as you can get.

Pity I was going to reread some Das Kapital on the way and once there.

Actually, I'm going to some place called Kingston (Upper part of the LP) in a few days, and I just stopped by my local Barnes & Nobles (Got to love B&N) and picked up Das Kapital. I'm going to crack open that bad boy on the way there for sure.

Thanks for the great welcomes everyone. It's deeply appreciated.
