Name: The Curse
Gender: Male
Type of Communist: Classical Liberal cool

Once upon a time, well, actually 2006, I had commie tendencies, I was mostly core Marxist or somesuch.

Nowadays, I'm a filthy capitalist pig. I support imperialism and the raping of the proletariat and lumpenproletariat by the bourgeoisie and I'm very evil. Well, according to you guys.

I like to hang out with commies <3. So lets all get along. I can be like the token capitalist.

I can see it now.

Sexy_Hayek331: "Why can't I join!?"
Tank: "No Capitalists".
Sexy_Hayek331: "But The Curse is in the guild!".
Tank: "No Capitalist*S*, we can have one".

Shindo, you're wrong about Stalin. He knew no more military strategy than Hitler, as we know how good Hitler was at that. rolleyes

Name: Michael
Gender: Michael
Type: Have studied a bit of Marxism, and still trying to work it out - I wrote an honours thesis in philosophy on the concept of 'ideology' in Marxism, and still very interested in the problems related to it. I am also a rabid sci-fi nerd, and play too many videogames. Nice to meet you!

Name: Nicholas.

Sex: Male.

Type of Communist: Anti-

As with Curse, I used to have some rather prominent Communist tendencies (Primarily Stalinist).

More recently, However, I've become a Capitalist, An advocate of Representative Democracy, A Republican, A Christian and an avid interventionist.

Also as with Curse, Classical Liberalism is the bee's knees. cool Gay marriage, Pro-choice, Freedom of Speech / Religion and all that jazz.

Why join then? Why, Communists are excellent fact-checkers, Of course!
In pitting two opposing ideologies together, Both can benefit. Namely by forcing preconceived notions to be challenged and sharpening the various points each side makes into a more coherent argument.

Let's be friends and have tea parties and do each others' nails and talk about boys and all that. :'D

Type: not sure.

Reason as to joining
to better educate myself on the subject, and learn even more of a subject and ideology that I inherently agree with so please educate and enlighten me
own ideas on politics
I enjoy the right to free speech, and almost every aspect of democracy, save it could be better, every politician i have seen or heard of is either corrupt in some sort of way or incompetent the state of living where I reside, is the poorest i have seen, I myself can't even get medical attention and have troubles affording education after all a country is only as good or, prosperous as it's people then why shouldn't every government provide even the most basic steps so as to prosper?
I want to give back to my community nay the world even as the field I wish to work in later in life would be prosthetic research development and manufacture so as to help those around the world who are still plagued by landmines and losing limbs of every sort.

Type of Communist: Not sure, here to find out

About Me: I'm rather new to communism. I only 'discovered' my communism about a year or so ago when forced to take a political ideology quiz in civics. At the time, I had no idea what anything really meant, but I was entirely stuck with the opinion that Stephan Harper blows.

I kind of went along with it, and tried to do a bit of research. I also have a lovely little collection of Soviet war memorabilia, and the piece I would currently consider to be my 'of most value' (mostly because I either have no idea what the Hell the others are yet or I have no idea what they're worth) is my Order of the Great Patriotic War, 2nd Class. I've got a few head dresses (One naval officer's cap, and one wedge, presumably air force). The wedge also came covered in various little pins and a few patches for occupations. I'm looking to expand my collection, as well as find out what the rest of the pins are for.
