Hey All!

Hi everyone, as you can see I'm De Leonist. That's Because one of my favorite political Authors is Daniel De Leon. The Leader of the Socialist Labor Party of America in the very late 19th century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Leonism
I should say I don't agree with all of his ideas but the core of De Leonism in making industrial unions the main weapon for workers in the constant class warfare that goes on in this society to me is essential. Yes I'm also an Anti-Capitalist. BTW before the Center-righters jump on my nuts actually go read Marx, Engels, De Leon, Lenin, and Mao before you compare my beliefs to the Soviet Union or North Korea please. Because yes there is significant differences between them. One more thing to note on this, I'm Libertarian Marxist, not a Statist one. I know, the right wing and right leaning democrats have a hard seeing the difference but there is one

I'm here because I want to raise hell(not here specifically mind you, just in general). I'm tired of seeing so much of what remains of the Left in America acting so damn neutered. I'm hoping to find others who agree. If you are in the state of Iowa please PM me. Class Warfare is real and the Left needs to starting fighting it again and it needs to start now.
