I'm an anarcho-socialist myself. Your contributions would most certainly be welcomed here, and safe, as this is a protected group.

We probably share some libertarian-socialist interests like maybe Chomsky, the IWW, or some history from the Spanish civil war.

I love that stuff but am also a fan of other things like the organizing from some of the Trotskyist groups, and more moderate groups like the DSA too. I'm flexible with socialism.

Thanks for the welcome.

The main forums seemed very dominated by certain topics I wanted to try some other parts of the site. This group seems cool.

Nice avatar picture too. I'll be voting for Bernie in the primaries if he runs. He's a social democrat or something probably, good enough for me.

Speaking of Trotskyist groups. I'm a member of Workers Power, the United States section (such as it is of the League for a Fifth International. Glad to have you aboard our little "Classic Red" corner of DU.

Read the SOP and post away. Just remember no personalities. Argue the issues all day long, but we stay away from the "dirty Stalinist" and "filthy Trotskyist" name calling.

does it matter? There's gotta be a better way than disaster, predatory capitalism.

Welcome to DU, just started following this board myself.
