As I said, before I was a Communist I was a liberal. I wasn't a Trotskyist or anything like that beforehand.

1. I developed an interest in Albania during 2005-2006. I read the works of Enver Hoxha and found them agreeable.
2. I'd say I was a "Hoxhaist" by late 2007. The only concern I had was that I felt maybe he went "too far" in criticizing Mao as an anti-Marxist and whatnot. Then I actually researched Maoism more and found that Hoxha's criticisms were sound. Before being a Communist I was a liberal.
3. I read books and articles. My first book on Albania was purchased in 2006, A Coming of Age: Albania under Enver Hoxha by James S. O'Donnell which is, in fact, the best introduction to the country during his leadership.
4. No, although I have a number of travelers' accounts and have spoken to older persons who knew those who visited.
5. No, but I do intend to learn it one day. There are many interesting works that were never translated into English, like an analysis of the Chinese revolution and how it was bourgeois-democratic rather than proletarian in nature.

I'll check now.

It's a slight take on Dorothy Parker's "Don't look at me in that tone of voice" :P

Anarchism and Communism are something I go back and forth on simply because im very agnostic regarding the state.

My views regarding Pantheism is simply that whatever god is, it seems far more likely that it is something far greater than a man and that no sytem of thought developed by men could truly explain the true order of the universe, thus necessitating my meditative trances to try and discover how I feel about these things

Ja. I see you're friends with Liberlict, so check his friends list for someone with this picture (http://www.revleft.com/vb/album.php?...ictureid=10504) and with the first name Reece.

Yup. Thought I'd seen that name before...
