I'm picturing a vast, overwhelming library. Am I close?
My stories pretty much the same as you really, as soon as I discovered Marxism I labeled myself a ML, but didn't really know what it entailed. Although, I've still got loads of books to get through before I decide on some definite sect or anything. So many, many books...
I have not, but I've read about the theory itself. It seems to make a lot of sense, and I like the sense of internationalism (as opposed to "socialism in one country" which I find quite nationalist). I was previously Marxist-Leninist, but I really didn't know much about it beyond the idea that it was "anti-revisionist." When I read about some of the ideas that make up the so-called "counter-revolutionary" Trotskyism, and read about their ML counterparts, I found I agreed MUCH more with Trotskyism. So, here we are!
Jolly good, I liked your comment in that Chit-Chat thread. So you're a Trotskyist? Have you read Permanent Revolution? If so, what did you think of it?
Not bad, comrade. Thanks for adding me!
Greetings comrade, thanks for the add, hows it going?
