Introduction

I am a Marxist Leninist an advocate for Free and Open Source Software as well as Common Software. I use Debian for my computer, and am currently using XFCE4 as my desktop environment, though I have also used Mate, Gnome43, and i3 in the past. I also like anime and educational video and written content (within reason). Unfortunately I live in the "United" States of Amerikkka, and not exactly with a lot of capital at that. I have a limited understanding of the C programming language and like resource management games such as RimWorld and Factorio.

Admission Answers

1.    Where did you find ProleWiki?

   While I'm not sure anymore, I believe that I have found it through Lemmygrad.

2.    What current of Marxist thought do you uphold? Describe as thoroughly as needed your path towards your current political perspective.

   I am a Marxist-Leninist.  When I was little I had a strange mixture of liberal (by United States standards) and conservative ideas.  By my early teens I had figured out most of the conservative garbage I had subscribed to was garbage due to my interest in the sciences.  By fourteen was firmly in the Soc-Dem camp but found that many things still didn't quite fit together as they were supposed to.  Later a series of rather personal and unfortunate events happened side to side that lead me to, in a sequence I can't quite remember, stumbling into a variety of communist online spaces.  At first most of it was very foreign, but as time past, and my curiosity got the best of me, I kept finding sources that eventually lead me to my current believes.

4. What is your position on China? Do you believe China is a socialist country? Why so, or why not?

   I generally view the PRC positively, believing it to be a socialist nation (as flawed as it may be in some aspects).  I believe this to be the case due to it's manner democratic participation and ruling party.  It's democratic participation being carried out in such a way as to give as much power to the people as is reasonably possible given the conditions of the country.

5. What is your position on Joseph Stalin? How would you describe his historical role?

   Joseph Stalin has been, in my opinion, a remarkable force for good in this world.  While far from perfect, his role in the formation and ideological composition of the USSR and many other socialist nations has been remarkable for the proletarian struggle.

6. What is your understanding of gender? Should Marxists support the LGBT community?

   Whilst my understanding of it is admittedly little, the LGBTQ+ community has my full support.  Furthermore, I believe that all Marxist groups should support them in their struggle against their oppression.

Sincerely,

SparkingCircuit
