The Red Son greats you

[ellipsis]

Hello Comrades,
I am the Red Son. I am a Vermont Separatist-Nationalist. I am currently in university and will be finished with my BA in less than two months. I am a scholar of social movements, in particular guerrilla movement. I have a blog (http://therevolutionscript.blogspot.com) which I have been shamelessly promoting on the forums here to positive results. I am enjoying revleft very much and hope to learn much from you my comrade in the future.

Cheers,
The Red Son

I think he's for national liberation and self-autonomous communism for his state's region if I've got it right.

I'd rather not live within this federal government, regardless of a proletarian revolution or as it is currently.

Edit:
rather *not*

yes you have it right. as to whether their is any "left" in me, i would say yes. i am a marxist with anti-authoritarian/liberatarian/anarchist leanings, although i not quite sold on the last one. but i identify first and foremost as a vermont nationalist, of the separatist variety rather than federalist.

how do you equate anti-authoritarianism/small-government/no government with an authoritarian who stalled communism's evolution into anarchism, who did not dissolve the state be created a massive state apparatus? i may be a leninist at time but never a stalinist.

LOL, I thought I would Necro this as a belated intro as moderator of the introduction forum. Needless to say my politics have changed and become more refined with time...

[Rusty Shackleford]

so what are you now? a vermont national liberation movement commandante? :lol:

[Nolan]

sounds like stalinism to me.

This statement in context is like a parody of all anti-stalinism, ever.

so what are you now? a vermont national liberation movement commandante? :lol:

Now I identify first as an Anti-capitalist, then a liberatarian socialist, then a Vermont pseudo-guerrilla.

[Agent Ducky]

The vermont secessionism kinda puzzles me. What would that achieve?

[ellipsis]

Destabilization of empire, creation of a liberated zone to act as a launch pad from broader revolution.

Edit: Also TBH the rest of the US which I feel little allegiance to can fuck off, Vermont is going to be chilling.

[Mr. Natural]

Forum moderators get no respect. Politics aside, I'd just like to thank you and the many others who keep this important site going.

I hadn't gotten into a decent political discussion in eleven years prior to joining revleft a week ago. I was starved!!

I can see Vermont as a leading "cell" of the American revolution, but I'm afraid Vermonsters are stuck with the rest of us. We'll hang together in a revolutionary process or be hanged separately.

Vermont is definitely an interesting state and could begin the process, though.

Haha, I wasn't a moderator back then... little did I know at that point how much time I would end up spending on this marx-forsaken site. But thanks for the kudos.

Glad you have found the forum to your likens, stick around!

"We'll hang together in a revolutionary process or be hanged separately."

That is a very good point, I have only ever envisioned Vermont and it's impending revolution as part of a broader, GLOBAL struggle, but more immediately as part of the "American revolution".

I appreciate the vote of confidence in vermont.
