Hey just a thread for everyone to introduce themselves and something about themselves! Haha doesn't have to be political but what schools of thought have influenced you would be nice. I'll start. (No need to give actual names just introduce your ideas and motivations or activities or anything really.)
I am a council communist with Marxist-DeLeonist tendencies.
I am a communist sympathetic to the views of theorists from all socialist traditions. I also have a strong interest in post-marxist and neo-marxist analyses of modern conditions.
Introductions are a great idea. I'm a highly interdisciplinary Marxist revolutionary who applies the new sciences of organization to a disorganized left that has historically been unable to develop successful revolutionary processes out of capitalism into anarchism/socialism/communism. Thus I'm "red-green," with the "green" referring to these communal sciences of life's organization.
G'day. I'm an Australian Trotskyist (how surprising). While I do disagree with Stalin and Stalinism, I believe that we cannot overthrow capitalism whilst we are divided. I was thinking of creating a group like this, but when I found this, I didn't see any point in just making another one.
Welcome Aussie you already seem to be on track to making a strong contribution tot his movement and I look forward to working with you!
And I you. Also, I found the image for this group a bit Maosist orientated. Maybe it could be changed to something more tendency neutral. Like an inspirational image of Marx, or an artistic image of the Paris Commune.
I like the Paris commune idea I just picked this picture because of the display of cultural diversity on it.
I'm a democratic socialist from Southern California. I'm also looking into the works of Eugene Debs and Rosa Luxemburg
