Nice vid! Me myself is anarcho-socialist, i believe in labour unions and direc action instead of partys and voteing. if you give me your hotmail we could discuss politics, you seem to be inteligent =D
Anarchism didn't have everything! It didn't have you. Great vid. Count me as a subscriber. Check out Left Marxists like Rosa Luxemburg. Don't know if I'll respond with a video but it's refreshing to see the path you took.
My path was similar. I recently read a blog comment that summed it up nicely, which I'll paraphrase: "I accepted right-wing economics before I knew anything about it, because I assumed it was a necessary component of libertarianism." Once I understood that left-libertarianism was not only possible, but actually more consistent, the door to socialism was opened to me. And since that door leads to Marx, I began to examine his ideas for the first time and loved what I found. That process continues.
It seems to me that you have considered a wide variety of political views and made an honest choice. I too think that atheism usually takes people away from the right, the right can be summed up in two words - capitalism and religion.
I think you would be interested in reading about the types of Marxism, such as Marxism-Leninism, Trotskyism etc. as well as the various types of Anarchism in order to understand the small yet important differences.

"I think you would be interested in reading about the types of Marxism, such as Marxism-Leninism, Trotskyism"
I plan on reading lenin works. Where do you suggest I start.

"The State and Revolution" is the perfect choice I think, it covers what will happen to the state during socialism.

I will look into that book, Thank you for the suggestion.
What would you suggest of Trotskys work?
Also have you read any of Luxemburg works?
tonyman1989 2 years ago
For Trotsky, I would read about the idea of Permanent Revolution, but i haven't read any of Luxemburg's works yet.

Okay, Thank you for all the help.
tonyman1989 2 years ago
For Luxemburg you should read "Reform or Revolution".
Trotsky I would suggest "Women in the Family", "The Revolution Betrayed" and "Permanant Revolution".

Marxism isn't a dogmatic philosophy. It's a method for interpreting the world, which is always changing.
I hope in some way I'm doing educational videos on Marxism but I'm not always sure.
Do you want to know people's political histories with this?

"Marxism isn't a dogmatic philosophy. It's a method for interpreting the world, which is always changing."
Then in that case I am very much a marxist.
"I hope in some way I'm doing educational videos on Marxism but I'm not always sure."
I think your videos on marxism are very good.
"Do you want to know people's political histories with this?"
Yes.
