Reply #221: Don't worry. I am a Marxist. If I let snark

or even outright hostility get me down, I'd be down all the time. :) And I'm not. To be a revolutionary Marxist in this country at this time is the very EPITOME of being an optimist.

I'm just trying to get some folks out of the depressive funk that a lot of them seem to be in. Giving up is NOT an option and all the bourgeoisie political parties believe that the system is more important than democracy, so there's no help there. Marxism is NOT a "giving up" system, it's a "fighting back" system and I'd LOVE for more people to take a closer look at it.

And another thing. Have I mentioned that I'm a Trotskyist? :) Maybe a time or two, but you know right now, I don't really care WHAT form of Marxism you check out as long as you check out this general alternative. Maoist, Venuzuela, hell even Stalinist. We can argue about all that AFTER we've stopped the capitalist takeover and smashed this unfair and destructive system.

And many thanks for the kind words about my posts. I'm passionate about my beliefs and I try to inform too. Hopefully, I succeed more times than not.
