What kind of leftist Am I?
Greetings Dear Comrades
I am fairly new to socialism and communism and I don't know what type I am (I would like to have my identity ) I have certain beliefs:
1- The proletarians run the state.
2- The means of production is fully controlled by the state.
3- The environment is priority , because it indirectly affects us.
4- The revolution is international.
5- A one party state system is vital.
6- Socialism or Communism can be achieved without passing the capitalist phase.
7- People should have the freedom of and from religion.[/FONT]
8 - A violent revolution against the ruling elite is necessary.
9 - Healthcare and education are completely free.
10- Other parties, movements and interest groups have the right to express themselves and should never be abolished.[/FONT]
11- A revolution needs a leader in order to help the proletarians organize themselves.[/FONT]
12- To each according to his/her abilities , to each according to his/her needs.[/FONT]
13- Gay marriage is guaranteed by the state.
14- Drug abuse, and pedophilia should be dealt with rehab. But murderers should first be sent for rehab , if they kill again they will be imprisoned.
15- Freedom and liberation cannot be achieved if the people are economically oppressed.
Spasibo , In advance

Read more first, decide your "identity" after.
Changed this list a bit haven't you? Where is 'people are too stupid to govern themselves so must be ruled by a dictatorship'? And I see you're now allowing murderers a chance of rehabilitation before killing them.
Also, 'one party state is necessary' doesn't go with 'other parties must be respected'.
What you have here is not a set of political beliefs but a set of soundbites that are not consistent with each other. I agree with contracycle, I think you should read, think, and discuss with other people what you have read and thought about, and then think about the discussions, before you attempt to chose a label for yourself.

Why did you re-post this? (on a other account too?) I cant find the old thread but didn't i react to a thread like this 2 days ago, and i'm pretty sure it was you?
"I am vegan because I have compassion for animals; I see them as beings possessed of value not unlike humans. I am an anarchist because I have that same compassion for humans, and because I refuse to settle for compromised perspectives, half-assed strategies and sold-out objectives. As a radical, my approach to animal and human liberation is without compromise: total freedom for all, or else."
"It takes no more time to be a vegetarian than to eat animal flesh.... When non-vegetarians say ‘human problems come first’ I cannot help wondering what exactly it is that they are doing for humans that compels them to continue to support the wasteful ruthless, exploitation of farm animals."
Same account. But deleted the old thread

So, so far, we have discovered that you are 'the kind of Leftist who changes political opinions in a couple of days'.
Can I make a suggestion? Instead of putting down a set of blueprints for your fantasy dictatorship, how about you extract a couple of points from here and turn them into questions - such as 'what should we do with people who commit murder after the revolution?' and 'will the revolution be national or international?' and then post them as a few separate threads. Then you can (I hope) get a reasonable discussion going on specific points (we might all learn something) and there will, I think, be a lot less nonsense.
