these are changes in my opinions that have occured as a direct result of revleft debates:
I no longer belive in natural rights or human nature.
I now belive that mass movements rather than a small gurillia foco or monkeywrenching will cause the change we need.(although either if those could be used in conjuction with a mass movement)
I am not opposed to actions simply because they are authoritarian(using authority or imposing your will on others) and instead embrace Chomsky's arugement that authority is not inherently evil, but that those who seek to use authority must prove that their actions are justified.
I know support formal organization.

Well my view for las FARC has changed, before I use to see them as drugdealers/kidnappers dressed in military attire, but know I support them.
Besides that, I would say that rather than changed I have learned more and expanded my ideas.

When I first joined in September 2003 I was some sort of Trotskyist. Now I'm an Anarchist-Communist.

I no longer believe a vanguard to be necessary in revolution, I firmly believe that autonomy must not be limited, and I care much, much less about demarcating titles.
I'm sure other things have changed, but i can't remember anything else. Overall, i've felt very fulfilled during my time i've spent learning and debating on this site (besides the few tactless fellows i've come across).

I despair a little more of my dream of reuniting the communist left.

I came here in 2005 as a "democratic socialist" who though Sweden was a good example of socialism, and I'm now a libertarian communist. I went through a RAAN phase as well, but now I'm leaning into platformism. I think revleft helped expose me to a much wider range of ideas that I wouldn't have learned much about before, especially technocracy.

So, I ended up being one step foward? lol
Also I would like to add that even though I don't have a specific ideology inside communism, ever since I came to this website I've become inclined to Strotskyism and anarcho-communism.

I came as an ecoanarchist, with many crimethinc-tendencies. Didn't really understand "Marxism" or Marxs politics, but didn't like the latter, associated communism with Russia, China, etc.
Was also a militant vegan. (Remember Jazzy? :lol:)
A year on, or whatever, I'm a anarchist communist, with heavy influences from Marx, Kropotkin, Rocker, Malatesta, etc.
Still don't like snooty Marxists. :)
No longer hold militant politics on veganism, or any - indeed, heavily critical of vegan politics (publishing a zine on it at some point).

I get more amusement out of the pretensions of certain leftists. That is really all. There are details of my views that evolve back and forth over time, but they are unrelated to Revleft.

I have learned that there are smart people everywhere.
But also that fools exist in an enormous amount.

welcome to a world where natural selection no longer plays a role in human development.

They haven't really changed, every change in my position has been merely a change in tactics/strategy. The end goal has always been for me, and forever will be, permanent revolution/revolution without end, i.e libertarian communism/anarchism/socialism [i.e Dictatorship of the Proletariate].
