    Default Hello

    Hello All! So excited to join.

    About me: hmmm...

    I identify as a Trotskyist, so basically a non-Stalinist Leninist, but I am open to other ideas and try not to get bogged down in dogma. I started my foray into the left a few years ago and have accumulated a sizeable collection of Marxist literature since then. I also identify with the Marxist humanist trend and am willing to criticise Lenin (I'm not a tankie). I support the Cuban Revolution and the Bolivarian Revolution but shy away from endorsing the PRC or DPRK.

    While I am not an anarchist, I can engage with them and appreciate their perspective. One of the international socialist movement's biggest mistakes is alienating anarchists.

    I suppose I can be characterized as authoritarian on some issues but for the most part I am pretty liberal in the social sphere, but I see no point in differentiating economic issues from political ones.

    Above all I believe that the root of the socialist/communist tradition is, for genuine revolutionaries, a deep love for humanity buoyed by a profound optimism in its potential. All too often we get removed from the basic empathy that is at the heart of leftism. I love the world, I love people, I love animals, I love ideas, and I love the limitless potential we all possess. I love you all!

    Hasta la victoria Siempre!

    If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

    If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.
