About me
Being interested in involving myself with ProleWiki, it's a given that I'm a Marxist-Leninist ideologically. As to my political background, I grew up in a rather conservative and reactionary family, despite being proletarian, and I did little to resist that being such a young age. My perspectives began to shift left-ward after entering secondary education and seeing the classist (I personally dislike that term as everything in capitalism is orientated towards a class prospective, but I still feel it's appropriate in this setting) and generally dysfunctional state of the education system as it existed in my economically poor town: the poor students (including me) were virtually thrown to the way-side into a future life of wage-slavery without the prospect of being able to afford post-secondary education. Meanwhile, the petite-bourgeois "middle-class" students constantly received attention and rewards and were entitled to a life of relative comforts.
While I was dismissive of the class divide in my community (and elsewhere) as being just the "natural order", that changed rapidly when I suffered multiple traumatic experiences, some inflicted by petite-bourgeois peers, and the "final straw" which killed to conservatism inside of me was when I was targeted by the police and eventually expelled from my educational institution. I don't want to go into these details here as they are besides the topic, but I would like to say that these events demonstrated that the system only viewed me as a wage-working tool at best and criminal at worst. Knowing this, I later began to study the works of anti-capitalist writers, eventually encountering the books of Marx and others. While I didn't really pay much mind to communism before, their words resonated with me in a very profound way. After months of purging anti-communist programming, I grew politically into a Marxist-Leninist and never looked back.
