Marxist Napoleon

Hey Comrades,
I'm Marxist Napoleon (please forgive the irony), and I'm a Marxist-Leninist. I live in the United States, and I would probablly be considered petit-bourgeois. I've read the Communist Manifesto (duh), Capital: Volume I (though most of it was over my head), the State and Revolution, What is to be Done, Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-tung, and a bunch of other Marxist literature.
I've been reading RevLeft forums for about a year. I'm a CPUSA sympathizer, although I agree with a lot of the criticisms made about them. I "support" Barack Obama in the upcoming election, but I realize that we should not approve of bourgeois ruling class politicians. I think that if the Republican ultra-right is elected again, we could be facing fascism. We should use every means necessary, including, dare I say, bourgeois democracy, to fight fascism. I believe in a peaceful transition to socialism USA, but I realize there will be struggle involved. I believe in Bill of Rights Socialism, but I reject a lot of America's revolutionary legacy (Washington, the Federalists, slavery).
As for modern politics... I support Comrade Fidel and the Cuban Revolution. I support Comrade Chavez. I support the Maoists in Nepal, although I'm worried about their treatment of the opposition, especially journalists. I'm against market reforms in China, but I don't think all hope is lost there. I'm anti-Juche, but I support the Korean people for resisting imperialism.
As for Marxist-Leninist theory, I'm a staunch anti-Stalinist, but I would not consider myself a revisionist. I don't believe in revising Marxism-Leninism, but I believe Marx and Lenin would've wanted us to apply Communism to the current situation and keep an open mind. I look forward to debating with all of you!
