I take it a little about myself is required

I am not a communist or anarchist or any other thing for that matter. I believe the basic tenets of Marxism to be truth though, but I can hardly call myself one.
I have had very privileged and sheltered upbringing but the last 4 years of my life have been an eye opener. Due to the nature of my work I’ve had the opportunity to travel the African continent and to learn a little about it. What I’ve seen saddens me greatly but angers me more.
I've come to the stage were I’ve had enough, I just can't take it anymore. Action is required of me!!!!

Like I said in the beginning of my intro I’m not a communist not because I have something against it, it’s just that I know very little about it or about any other ideology. All I know is that freedom (whether it be from hunger or oppression), liberty and justice are key for one to lead a full and happy life. I also hold the view that these are lacking in our society today

I also know that those who hold real power today, do not have my real interest in mind( the track record leaves nothing to question) and can never freely out of the goodness of they hearts grant me that power to control my environment and destiny.
They stand to loose too much, and would rather die!!! And I personal would rather die than be an accomplice in they crime or a slave to them. Therefore Blood will have to be shed!

I've read that:
"Philosophers have merely interpreted the world the aim is however to change it"

To all my brothers and sisters, especially those in this cursed land called Africa, let us help each other to do what needs to be done, A LUTA CONTINUA!

Hey hey.

Sorry to hear of your frustrations comrade. But I've found a lot of inspiration in the African countryside in terms of solidarity, compassion and humanity in the villages. Inspirational.
