Care to explain what you think being a socialist is about? There are some pretty different ideas about what that means.
Do you for instance, support government intervention in the economy and strong welfare programmes?
Do you support the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism and the state by the international working class and the replacement of the political and economic system by a network of workers' councils/soviets?
Do you support the mass strike as a revolutionary method? Do you support the guerrilla war as the 'small motor' to kick-start class confrontations? Do you advocate siezing control of the state by legal-democratic means and using that to implement socialism? Are you pro- or anti-unions? Do you support national liberation struggles on the basis that they weaken the hegemony of the main imperialst countries, or you do you see all forms of nationalism as being poisonous for the international organisation of the working class?
These and other questions will setermine exactly which of the myriad sects on RevLeft decides to hate you.
Unless you keep the name and avatar, in which case we'll all hate you equally.
Too many questions for a new member.
Also s/he's obviously kidding about the Ayn Rand thing. Under Ayn Rand it reads 80 page speech which is obviously mocking the long monologues in Atlas Shrugged.
Welcome aboard Ayn Rand.
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK
