Saluton viroj kaj virinoj!

Please allow me to talk a bit about myself. I'm a social liberal. Individual liberty and equality are both important values for me. I don't buy the theory of conservatives that these values contradict each other. Among the lower classes it is necessary in my opinion that the state provides them welfare so that they could truly be free in their lives without thinking about the material consequences of their choices. I support every kind of measure which aims to make society more equal. No matter if is something as lukewarm as progressive taxation, or something as radical as seizing the means of production or setting the prices of products centrally. But at the same time I'm a liberal too. Religious freedom (as a private matter of course) LGBT rights and minority rights are important for me. I believe that personal and political freedom must be developed and nobody should be stripped from the rights which are already achieved.

I wanted to tell you more about my political ideology. But it seems that I've got used to modern technology so much that I felt it natural that when the website claimed that it "auto-saved" my writing it actually did that. Yet only this first paragraph was what I could salvage after I was thrown out when I clicked to "publish." No matter. I guess that most of you are educated in politics, so you don't need further explanation. I also wanted to tell you about the political situation, and more precisely the left side in my country. (Which is Hungary) I won't rewrite all that text which was lost about that either, because it is perhaps better if I keep this introduction short and simple. I will make sure to write a separate post about it later, though. As an appetizer I can tell you that I'm thoroughly disappointed in both the mainstream and the underground parties and groups as well as in the trade unions.

Perhaps you would be interested in why my ideology is social liberalism, and not fascism or conservativism. Well, it's quite simple. The same as with everyone else who belong to the left side. As Marx has said: "It is not consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness."

Nice.Communism originated from Socialism.It was a landmark of this modernity and international trade that we are quite used to now.English isn't my language yet I am trained and educated in English but in my veins runs the blood inherited from a revolutionary Indian poet ,Kazi Nazrul Islam for whom exile was no bars to furthering his voice filled with his ideologies.
I believe language is not a matter of nationalism but a mode of expression so be frank to share with us some literature pertaining to your nationalist agenda that could enthuse us.
The left is that side towards which you lean when you feel the other is not "right". True ,today's system of government has robbed and stripped people of their rights to a fair living.The capitalist imperialist government imposes draconian laws to hamstring the mobility in terms of action of its citizens.The bourgeoise plays the cards and the common man is a mere dice in their hands.
I believe that everyone must have ample freedom or in a world the system of governance must render the society liberal in all possible ways so that it doesn't curtail an essential ,fundamental right of any of its citizens.

Hey! Good to see another fellow Hungarian here. Maybe we could even meet up sometime if you are near Budapest.

Hello guys!

For Ale Brider: Since you are Hungarian, you may be interested in my new post which is about the Hungarian left-side. (It does not let me post the whole link. You should put revleft.com to the beginning of the link.) vb/threads/196507-The-current-situation-of-the-left-side-in-Hungary

I would definitely meet you at some point, since I'm from Budapest too.
