Yes I'm no Democrat and I'm not Liberal but I'm not inherently hostile towards either as well. There are quite few issues that I and progressive liberals see eye to eye on. I describe myself in such a way because I'm trying to be honest. I'm a Marxist-Syndicalist, being such one of the issues closest to my beaty little red heart is class struggle, issues of poverty. Just to give you an idea of what kind of a Leftie your talking to I voted for Jill Stein and a host of other Liberal and sometimes Socialist candidates in my state in 2012. I have many common goals with Liberals and Democrats. What I've found tends to make me different from them is that I'm anti-market. Many Liberals and Democrats I have found tend to advocate a more humane capitalism, social democracy, or even Market Socialism. Quite frankly I believe Markets are getting to the point of becoming impractical for the majority of people in this world. Anyway, I'm here just doing what I can to help fan the flames of (hopefully peaceful) revolution and trying to find like minded individuals in my state.
