20, member of Soviet Empire for 5 years. Socialist through and through, versed in Marx, Feuerbach, Gramsci, Adorno, Meszaros, Shelley and most importantly Robert Tressell.
I drink heavily, I may show UK comrades to the good beers.
I smoke a pipe, " " good tobaccoes.
I like folk and classical music from plainsong to Shostakovich (Mahler's *****) - the last piece of music of any note was Shosty's Viola Sonata. I love Soviet cinema, it captures the soul and dissects it sensetively, even the brash tank based film I saw from 1938. "Stalker" is the greatest film I have seen to date. I agree with the October Revolution as the only democratic proceedure ever taken in history.
Shelley, Byron, Zola, Tressell, HP Lovecraft are my main inspirations for thought, minus the glaring racism in Lovecraft. I am an amatuer classical violinist, who needs a tutor when one has a metronome, Shevchik, a violin and beer?
I am also quite accurate with an air rifle at 10m, with my left hand as my right eye is up to nothing good.
Socialism, comrades. It comes from everywhere.

"If the left is understood to include 'Bolshevism,' then I would flatly dissociate myself from the left. Lenin was one of the greatest enemies of socialism." ~ Noam Chomsky

Red Anarchist, is that size of signature necessary? Do we really need to know who you have been over this period, all of your posts will change to your current name regardless. This site is ugly enough as it is.
Why must I have posted 25 messages to be eligble to write in the arts section? It's patronising rubbish.
1. I'll keep my signature the way it is, thanks.
2. Do you want to post a link? If so, you can't until you've got 25 posts. This is just to stop spambots.
It's just exclusively to stop spambots? That's a hand. I was going to link the imslp in a post, but the message that appeared said "You cannot post in this forum until you have 25 posts" - get the deixis and implication correct or others will become victim.
Luxemburg's Pastry Chef?
"We are now becoming a mass party all at once, changing abruptly to an open organisation, and it is inevitable that we shall be joined by many who are inconsistent (from the Marxist standpoint), perhaps we shall be joined even by some Christian elements, and even by some mystics. We have sound stomachs and we are rock-like Marxists. We shall digest those inconsistent elements. Freedom of thought and freedom of criticism within the Party will never make us forget about the freedom of organising people into those voluntary associations known as parties."

welcome to the board, happy posting
Robert Tressell is fantastic, the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is an absolutely golden novel. It made more of an impact on me than reading the manifesto or anything of the like.
Welcome aboard!
Yes, tis me, LPC/DSCHBACH from SE
Thaknfully someone agrees that it is more moving than the manifesto, it is a living, breathing cry for socialism.
Ahhh I have to read it. I have the book around here and I've been meaning to read it but I haven't had the time. :/

It gives socialism context in terms of peoples everyday life. It's also a lot more accessible.
Then why bother with the intro? Don't like the site ? Don't post here. It's that simple.

The site's interface is just quite aesthetically unpleasing to begin with, but so is playing Nethack. I just hope this is as fulfilling as hunting the Amulet of Yendor!
Pardon me, there must have been some glitch as this post was posted twice, probably trigger happy.
Every little child that is born into the world, no matter
whether he is clever or full, whether he is physically perfect or
lame, or blind; no matter how much he may excel or fall short of his
fellows in other respects, in one thing at least he is their equal -
he is one of the heirs of all the ages that have gone before.
