Hello, just made 10 posts
Just an idle observer of US progressive politics and general news stories across the world from Canada
As my pseudonym suggests, I'm also of a socialist, Marxist persuasion
Not sure how tolerated that is here, but I think I can pass
= new reply since forum marked as read
Tomorrow we'll start telling you how completely off base and most likely a total twit you are.

Welcome to DU!
Enjoy. It is a pretty fine place.
If you spout things like vote for tfg to really kill the system, you probably wouldn't be happy here. 
Hell, I've long thought that the US could use a big shot of socialism. We've been drifting right so long the Bushes are starting to look like centrists. 
Two "socialist" things we desperately need are more regulation of corporate entities and vast improvements in the social safety net.
But I'm getting away from the essence of The Lounge.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
