Happy to be introducing myself to the Revleft forums. I heard about this forum through youtube by the way.

As far as my political ideology goes, I'd say it's pretty safe to call me a "non-factional" Marxist-Leninist. If you really pin me down I would probably come out closest to Trotskyism, although I don't particularly like the thought of committing to "Trotskyism." However, I'm not afraid to learn lessons from Stalin or Mao, etc.

I started off as an anarchist, but I couldn't come to grips with the classical liberal ideology which is what all anarchist camps eventually boil down to. I've really come to think that there is some secret allegiance between anarchism and left-opportunism in general. That seems to me the perfect way to categorize modern anarchism: non-parliamentary opportunism. It's kind of a shame, I still have fond feelings for anarchism, but I think it's just a dead weight.

Anyway, see you around.

Alright! :cool:

Seriously, though (since you're another straight-up Leninist Marxist), post more often:

1) Ask basic political questions in the Learning forum;
2) Learn history in the History forum;
3) Learn economic theory in the Theory forum;
4) Learn intermediate political theory in the Article Submissions forum, including hints about "crises of theory" (all the while weaning yourself away from Trotskyism);

5) Once you're ready to address the "crises of theory" head-on, consider joining the Revolutionary Marxists user group.
