Positivist

That's the same propaganda that was fed to me, exactly the same.

I had always had a fascination with the USSR when I was a kid and thought that Jesus wanted a form of communism. I grew out of that into being an authoritarian theocratic conservative Republican. Needless to say, I was messed up. When I got to college, I began to cut away at inconsistencies in my reason and found myself questioning private property and authoritarian means. These changes, both subtle and profound, were paramount to my arriving at marxism. This drive for the Truth and Ethics are what guide me to this day. Science and Humanity are what matters and Marxism is how we may epitomize both for their own, inherent sakes.

So what brought you to socialism again? I can't recall if you posted your reasons. Cheers!
