    Default Hello Revleft.

    Hi everyone,

    Just stumbled upon this site and it seemed to me that this forum boasts a really broad range of left political discussion and thought. So really my cup of tea, and I expect to find a lot of good debate and learning here.

    As for persona, I'd rather not pin myself to any particular ideology since I was educated within a fundamentally skeptic discourse. So I have always postponed any self-labeling for that matter, yet without becoming apathetic or ambivalent. I hope this becomes much clearer in my endeavors on this board.

    I recently got a job at "de Rooie Rat" which is a left political foundation in the form of a bookshop. And my employment there revitalized my commitment to the activist movement which was a bit smothered by my study philosophy. So I thought it would be both good for myself and for our bookshop to have a proper (international) face on the net. In time we will have our English site online for everyone to browse through.

    Welkom Rooie
    “Where the worker is regulated bureaucratically from childhood onwards, where he believes in authority, in those set over him, the main thing is to teach him to walk by himself.” - Marx

    "It is illogical and incorrect to reduce everything to the economic [socialist] revolution, for the question is: how to eliminate [political] oppression? It cannot be eliminated without an economic revolution... But to limit ourselves to this is to lapse into absurd and wretched ... Economism." - Lenin

    "[During a revolution, bourgeois democratic] demands [of the working class] ... push so hard on the outer limits of capital's rule that they appear likewise as forms of transition to a proletarian dictatorship." - Luxemburg

    “Well, then go forward, Tower of Bebel! [August] Bebel is one of the most brilliant representatives of scientific international socialism. His writings, speeches and works make up a great tower, a strong arsenal, from which the working class should take their weapons. We cannot recommend it enough… And if the [International] deserves to be named Tower of Bebel... well, then we are lucky to have such a Tower of Bebel with us.” - Vooruit

    Are Utreg and Utrecht the same place, just different versions of the name?

    Utreg (ytrεχ) and Utrecht (ytrεχt) are the same, "Utreg" is the pronunciation originating from the dialect or folk slang, if you will. Utrechters (people from Utrecht) are sometimes called t-thieves, often leaving out the 't' obviously.

    And yes I love Utrecht, the city that actually is a large village.

    oh dear.

    "Faggot" is a homophobic slur.

    its not funny because it is also pejoritive against gays which is why you should not use it in any context.

    Hey, do you work at the Rooie Rat bookstore?

    We had a discussion group going there a couple weeks back, it would be cool if you joined it.

    Like others have pointed out, that is a homophobic slur. Homophobic language and 'hate speech' in general is strictly forbidden on RevLeft, consider yourself verbally warned.
