About me

Communism

I'm a Decolonial Marxist-Leninist from Western Europe, a student of Marxism-Leninism since 2013 when I was radicalized in the context of Palestinian solidarity activism. A great deal of my orientation towards Marxism-Leninism can be credited to online comrades and the "Leftbook" reading groups (2013 - 2015), including "Communism 101" (the old, good one that was just MLs).

I was also a member of an IRL org for some years, but left due to a serious disagreement with many lines, and no support among others for any sort of line struggle related to this. This line problem was complex but encompasses things like the stance on China, stance on Russia, stance on Palestine, stance on settler-colonialism or lack thereof, etc., from the org in my country, as well as its international lines and affiliations more broadly.

Etc

Aside from Marxism, my interests are fiction writing/worldbuilding, making electronic music, gaming, computer stuff.

Wiki experience

I joined ProleWiki in 2021. I've used MediaWiki for many years in different contexts, so I hope to help out this project on the MW technical side of things as well as trying to help as an editor. In 2015, I was involved in a spiritual precursor to ProleWiki called "Prolepedia". Unfortunately, "Prolepedia" did not survive very long, due to clashing ideological lines causing infighting within the project; as a result of that experience, I now strongly believe that the only way this type of project can survive is by taking a firm line stance against "maoists", "anti-revisionists" and other ultras, as wel as social-chauvinist settler-communists and eurocommunists.

-I'm a Jewish Marxist from Western Europe. One side of my family were Russian Jews who lived in the early USSR but fled to Western Europe at some point.

-I have been a student of Marxism-Leninism since 2013, when I was a 15-year-old teenager, and am now 25 years old. During that time, believe it or not, I have had the same pro-AES line the entire time---except for a very brief confused Tito/Trotsky phase in 2013 that lasted a month or so. Most of my ideological formation can be credited to "Leftbook" discussion groups, primarily "Communism101" and "Marx's Red Reading Room".
+== '''About me''' ==
-Most of those groups either no longer exist or are no longer run by principled Marxists... and I haven't really been active on Leftbook since 2019, regardless. However, I still look fondly on the comradeship I found there, with fellow Marxists from all over the world, both young and old, from places like Amerikkka to China. We really are a global movement, increasingly so, facilitated by the online networks we form. I believe in many ways, this interconnectedness is being underutilized by the ossified organizations we inherited from the 20th century.

-I have been on-and-off affiliated with communist orgs within my country, and spent some years going to protests and all that stuff. However, due to my serious disagreement with many of their ideological lines (especially with regard to China, Russia, LGBT rights, and international affiliations) I am no longer a member of any org as of 2023. I have reached the conclusion that European and Euro-settler countries necessarily take a backseat in the global struggle against imperialism, so I think my efforts really are better spent helping educate younger communists from all over the globe, including helping with intitiatives like ProleWiki.

-Aside from Marxism, my interests are fiction writing (mainly fantasy), as well as various music genres, TV series and videogames. I am also admin of a fairly large fandom-related Discord server with about 4000 members which takes up some of my time.
