1. Hello, I've actually been a part of the project before, but personal life issues got in the way and it's been a long time since. 2. I have learned a sufficient amount of ML/M Thought and I'm beginning to educate myself more on American labor history and the Liberation Theology of Latin American socialist movements. 3. I have read the principles and I agree to follow them. 4. I critically support China, and do believe they are socialist in government philosophy and capitalist transitioning to market socialism in economics to play the long game. They're learning from the mistakes of the Soviets and I commend that. I do constructively criticize AES to be principled, and I admire the achievements of nations like China and Cuba. 5. I understand that Joseph Stalin had many practical government successes that allowed the Soviet people to recover from WW2 and lessen the burdens during the war. So I do respect that he was able to be such a powerful force for good during tragic times, but I don't really care otherwise. I understand he's an influential historical figure and, in my opinion, saying that he was fundamentally "good or bad" just doesn't vibe with me because it's not how I view history during my study. I like to be as objective as possible. 6. I'm queer and non-binary, so I'm very much in support of the LGBT+ community, and I believe that Marxist theory is just as essential to queer liberation as it is for proletarian liberation or black liberation.
