Bonan vesperon, kamaradoj!

I am Apollodorus and I am from Australia. What am I? Well, I am a bit unsure about that myself. There is definitely a bit of anarchist in my political opinions, but which type of anarchist I would call myself I do not know; I doubt that there is a name for it. In fact, some anarchists may consider me not to be an anarchist at all, but more of a revolutionary, radical supporter of democratic reform.

On a more definite note, I can without a doubt call myself a sennaciisto. If you have no idea what that is, I understand, and I will explain. During the 19th Century there lived an ophthalmologist called Ludvic Lazarus Zamenhof. He constructed a language known as Esperanto, which he intended to be used everyone as a second language. His philosophy was that if everyone understood each other then there would be no conflict between creeds and humanity would become united. From this community of Esperanto-speakers a new, radical political movement was born: sennaciismo, which translates to 'anationalism'. Thus, sennaciismo is the opposition to the redundant system of divided countries.

If you would like to learn more, feel free to PM me. If you do not, tough, because I will no doubt be voicing my opinions now that I am here!

Oh, and if you are wondering about my name/avatar, the picture is of Plato, who I admire greatly, and the name 'Apollodorus' is a character from one of his dialogues.

Hi, welcome to RevLeft:)

I tried to learn Esperanto once - didn't get too far, though.

We seem to be getting a lot more Australians lately.

Plato was a ****.
