Comrades, I have done some thinking recently, and I think that it is time that I write another revleft blog for me to organize my thoughts.

Over the past several months, I have become increasingly interested in Left communism, and the sort of ultra-Left critiques that it has given the Soviet Union, China, Marxist-Leninist and Leninist theory, etc. At the risk of sounding sectarian (indeed, sectarianism really bothers me, and I'd consider myself a pan-Leftist of sorts), I think that...

Perhaps I should have titled this entry "On the History and Necessity of Bourgeois-Democratic Revolutions", but I hope to make their necessity explicit enough.

As an existential Marxist, a significant majority of my beliefs are rooted in a sense of intellectual honesty regarding material conditions; specifically, I'm speaking of the presence (or non-presence) of scarcity.

My waning democratic socialist tendencies argue that have a labour party working inside of parliament on behalf of the working class can bring about reforms that will have immediate material improvements...

I've continued to do some reading over the past several days - mostly Guérin, Bordiga, and Luxemburg - and I think that I'm beginning to vaguely discover what sort of tendency I identify most with. A large problem that I have with trying to figure this out is that I question each of the readings too much, and I can't fully commit myself to something that I have intellectual reservations about.

This is mostly stream-of-consciousness writing, so if I say anything wrong or fail to articulate...

I will open this entry the same way that I did the last (my Part Deux, that is), by saying that I appreciate all of the constructive criticism and advice that I've received from those both online and off. The conversations that I've had with many people here have caused me to look at the world in new ways.

I think that it's interesting to read some of my earliest posts and the first several blog posts. When I first started writing, I was very much a reformist, interested in bringing...
