Now if we can just get you into some CLASSIC Marxism, a la Trotsky!

Seriously though, I was very left and flirting with Marxism and Trotskyism during my college days and really never left it as a socio-political-economic philosophy. However, I never joined any groups and spent 30 years as a "salon revolutionary" arguing amongst the like minded that a socialist revolution was what was needed, but going no further into advocacy. Now in my old age, I've actually joined a group and am actively advocating classic Marxism, including revolution. Better late than never I hope. In addition, the capitalist system during this later stage is proving Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky more and more every day.

I also agree that it's not a class war until we fight back. Until then it's just class massacre.
