Hey there

Hi. I live in Singapore, though I was born in a patch of land named 'India'. I'm one of them Marxist-De Leonist types, as well as a metalhead and fish worshipper atheist. I used to be at the Epoch until it disappeared. So... Hi.

Heya, enjoy the stay - watch out for rapid revolutionary fanatics like RedSoviet

hi

@Cyprian Uljanow

f**k you!

Short but powerful.

Wotcha.
You a fan/member of any particular DeLeonist party?

Hi.
Well, the SLP is certainly the most prominent one, and its website is incredibly helpful. There have been claims of bureaucracy in the SLP, but there's not really much evidence that that wasn't just sour grapes. Also, 'The People' is still a pretty good source for news often neglected in the mainstream media.
On the other hand, I don't know of that many De Leonist parties. I do remember that Debs was something of a De Leonist when he ran after reading Marx, at least, in ideas, but the SPUSA seems to be more of a social democratic Party now, judging from their platform. Of course, they promise destruction of capitalism, but their platform seems to focus more on reforms than anything else, so...

Edit: It seems these reforms are supposed to point the way to a new economy somehow. Apparently if people were to fight for them, they could get them implemented, but if they fought for the cause of socialism, then it wouldn't work, so we must instead fight for reforms. Why not just urge the workers to take power, rather than fight for reforms? Oh yeah, multi-tendency Party. It sounds about as effective as getting everyone here into a political Party for the destruction of capitalism. This platform reads exactly like if each member of this forum were asked to add a policy to our platform. There's a mix of reforms, socialism, and... the Democratic Party?

i think i will like you stos

but its a russian guy said it your, that adds meaning.

imagine Niko from GTA saying it.

There's also the campaign for a working democracy, but apparently they aren't so explicitly Marxist/DeLeonist as they were when they called themselves the New Union Party. Apart from that I don't really know any others, its much bigger in the US than anywhere else I think.

IIRC, some ex-members said similar things about bureaucracy in the British SLP but I may be getting it mixed up with the current SLP which doesn't have anything to do with DeLeon.

Ah well, if it becomes popular in the US, everyone else will know about it.

Correct. Then I went up to people and they were all like, "What is this, that stands before me?"

yea, thought so.

hahaha sabbath...

whats your fav. metal band?

I have no idea, actually. There's way too much variation in metal to pick a favourite band. For example, it would be hard to compare Belketre on March to the Black Holocaust (only album/split of theirs that I've heard, and it's awesome) and Jag Panzer on Ample Destruction (which was their best album, and quite different to their others). So... Yeah.

PENUT BUTTER JELLY TIME
lol welcome

Wow. So much disappeared...
So anyways, basically we were discussing why Dragonforce fly around on dragons and sparrows, and I said that enviro (I think?) should listen to Liege Lord. Then other people said stuff that I didn't see.

Edit: Also, somebody earlier had asked about some awesome Doom metal bands. \m/

twas i! im the doom guy xp i like sludge and stoner rock tooooo =]
