My parents are ex-Republicans deeply disillusioned by the Bush era and influenced by me. They're also both Atheists thanks to both growing up in traumatically-fundamentalist households. Now they're just kinda centrist folks.
All in all, an alright place to live in for a Communist.

And when Marx says, 'Hitherto the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways', what that 'hitherto' means is not a renunciation of theory and that all we need to do is wade in with our fists and there will be no more need for thought. This idea is in fact fascist, and it would be grossly unjust to Marx to impute such views on him.

My dad's an atheist, my mum has vague belief in god. They're both fairly left leaning, so they're not even remotely phased by my politics. Frankly i don't think they would give much of a damn either way, so the way I see it I'm fairly lucky.
Liberal Mother + Fascist Father = Communist Son
Just because Trotsky or Lenin said it it dont mean your right.

Both of my parents aren't that political but when it comes to election time my mum votes labour and my dad goes for Liberal Democrats. When it comes round for my brother to start voting i think he will not vote. Although my dad votes lib dem he supports Thatcher although this is probably to wind me up. I got my leftist views form a friend of mine who passed away and the fact that i dislike the 'stuck up' upper class whom inherit their wealth as well as the fact that my family are working class.
My family are fairly conservative catholic types. They all vote Fine Gael(my great-grandfather was a Cumann Na nGaedhael TD). All of them are totally oppossed to any kind of left politics, even thinking of the Labour party as being too radical
Mother= "independent", voted for Bush twice and then McCain.
Father= hasn't been able to vote since the 80's, convicted felon. He liked Bush, though.
My mum is a former trot student activist who is now totally out of touch with the left and the working-class and basically any progressive element in society. Her political mindset is still deeply rooted in what she read in the 70s. It's even amusing sometimes to hear the bullshit she says. Unfortunately it appears that she read more pamphlets than Marx. My dad is a supporter of the center-leftist PT. He is actually quite enlightened regarding Marxism, particularly in the fields of history and literary criticism.
My dad just told me that he's joined the 9/12 project.
He's actually going to conservative protests and shit.
... To live – does it not mean to have indomitable faith in victory?
sabotage his protest outings
if he goes by car, deflate the tires
burn his posters
or if you don't like him, kill him in his sleep and make it look like an accident
I'm sorry.My dad just told me that he's joined the 9/12 project.
He's actually going to conservative protests and shit.I just love my country.
What's the matter Lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?
Ever since Glen Beck came about, America terrifies me. I am irrevocably sure that Republicans are fascists. America's power is a sword in the hands of a luntic.
