About me: I am an unrepentant Marxist; I will never sucumb to the lure of waxing nostalgic within the horrors of State Socialism. I don't identify myself as a socialist or any variation of Marxism, Marxist-leninism, Marxist-Stalinism, Marxist-Trotskyism, etc. I guess in that respect i am pretty orthodox. I do give creedence to variations on post-modern additions to Marxism but as of now I consider myself autonomous after being expelled from the CPUSA for attempting to usurp Sam Webb.
