What do you fight for, user?

The world is a place of suffering and pain, of wasted life and slaves. How could one not look at this miserable world and want to fix it?

I always liked commie aesthetics and then I grown tired of debating with memes in Zig Forums and started reading theory, and, once you grab a book you can't be right wing anymore.

I've always been interested in helping people. I quickly realized that the best way to help people is on a societal level rather than on an individual basis. Then I started reading looking into leftism, started reading Marx, and the rest is obvious.

We live in a world of wage slavery , I want to fight for freedom and liberation.
I went to an alt-right rally in my city and realized that rightists are fucking retarded. Started reading Marx and found out I agreed with most of it.
Also working in the service industry is bound to give someone at least a little class conscience

Went to military, got disillusioned with imperialism and authoritarian principles. Started studying and became radicalized as I had to live in poverty. I think it was more gradual radicalization so to speak.
Most important reason to overthrow capitalism for me is simply contempt of the bourgeoisie and hopes for a future where the ruling class does not own advanced technology making resistance impossible……..

I was born into an area that at one point was a paradise for the working class.
Beautiful and large homes that all had double garages, plentiful workers clubs that existed to build solidarity among workers, close to the city and industrial areas, great public transportation and lots of public spaces/parks.
Neo-liberalism however had long turned the place into a slum by the time I had been born.
The high paying industrial jobs had been taken over seas, cuts to infrastructure had killed the construction jobs, the general loss of income and opening of massive superstores in the area had turned the main street that had once been so vibrant with small stores of all sorts into dialect row of empty and run-down buildings, the workers clubs had become little more then parasitic dens of gambling and cheap booze and crime had made the area unsafe to visit at night and one you would want to avoid during the day.
I had been born into ruins; The ruins of a once great place, destroyed by capitalists that even at its very height would never have even known of its existence and certainly never would have even visited it.

I was born into a family that while now poor, could recall the good times.
But the poverty and social decay lead to my father abandoning my mother and myself before I was able to walk.
One of my earliest memories is coming home to find the house ransacked and what meagre possessions we had taken.
The crime and poverty had cast a dark veil of depression over this once nice area; A depression that led to rampant drug and alcohol abuse - such abuse resulting in the death of my mother while I still a kid.
The remainder of my childhood and most of my adolescence was filled with such reminders of the wretched existence of the working class and the rotting reminders of how good things had once been.
Really it was not until I was around 16 when I heard some rich, neo-liberal politician in a multi-thousand dollar suit on the news calling those on welfare -those that I had seen with my own eyes to be victims of neo-liberalism- effectively parasites that the whole class aspect to everything fell into place.

From the time the my ancestors had first emigrated to this nation, all of the men had worked in industry.
From working the foundries, manning the ports to building rail lines.
I am the first link in this chain to be denied such a chance at a meaningful job with fair pay; To be denied the ability to own a home or have the income security to make starting a family an ethical decision.
I have been denied this not because de-industrialisation is in the national interest or because there is not enough money to provide such a life to the working class - But because those that already had most of the power and most of the money simply wanted to have all of the power and all of the money.
Simple, naked greed from people that do not even know I exist has cost me my family, the ability for me to ethically start a family of my own, the lives of the many kids that I grew-up along side and the chance for working class people to live a decent life.

I'm rather drunk so I apologise if little of the above made much sense.
But I guess that my main point is that neo-liberalism has taken so much from me that at this point I just want to see it burn and the arch neo-liberals of the world hang from street-lights in the very areas they devastated; I will die a happy man if I can see such in my lifetime.
To that end I have three ideologies that I maintain, with the intention to push whatever one seems to most likely to succeeded when I'm in the position to do so.
As much as I dislike many ideologies on this board and I'm disliked in turn; I would happily fight and die on the barricades along side any of you should it mean striking a blow against neo-liberalism.

Are you from an ex socialist country by any chance?

I think he is British

Started from anti-imperialism since I was forced to emigrate from Kosovo to Southern Serbia
Was for a time some sort of Serbian nationalist that just hated the west and america but also Tito for "bringing serbia down"
Then I started reading

What are your views of Tito now?

Was a good leader in the fight against fascists and monarchists during the war
People blame him for promising to give Serbia back to the royal family and then fucking them over
Also life in Yugoslavia was mostly good during his time
But from what I know the only reason it was like that was NATO/World bank funneled credits
Honestly not really sure what to think about him.
I turned around my thoughts about him, there are things he did for self interest I imagine, things that led to the failing of Yugoslavia after his death.
But at the end of the day, he did at least take power away from the royals.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.
basically. the tought of the suffering of so many for the benefit of the few assholes at the top always makes me quite angry. and i hate the way millionaries and politics act like we owed them, and media felate them despite them being fucking leeches

I mean, idk much about the UK prior to Thatcher, so I wouldn't know.

Family were all party members in the Soviet Union who served in economic calculation or similar capacities. While most positions of equal weight were held as sinecures by indolent professionals of the bureaucracy, a great deal of the labor of my family was dedicated towards a modern critique of political economy. This, of course, was not the only locus of their considerable efforts.

A few amongst them had become physicists, or other manners of scientist - they saw the great patronage of the Union as a momentous step into a future where the proper development and nurture of a populace would create the optimal conditions for the development of free and non-stultifying sciences. For what becomes of a revolution without the impassioned rhetorics and the great polemical joust - most commonly, they must derive their substance elsewhere and this becomes their debilitating breakdown. We need the diligence of those who refuse the vocational sciences and the impotence of comparative economics to build the structures of a democratic economy.

Well, the Union was collapsed and all their work ended for naught - or so one would think. My branch of the family came to the US for work - some dropped the ideals and became cash chasing sycophants, and this is the branch of the family I was raised in, albeit far more liberal. I was exposed from a very early age to economics and the like, and had free range to go and learn as I'd please. I was doted on by the whole of the family (first son of the first son, "head of the branch"), but was most interested in the other sections of our family who we'd see only on special occasions. They'd never behave in a deferential or acquiescing manner towards me, and while this confused me as it was so unusual, I preferred them to my closer family.

From them, I learned all about the work of our family and why we did it. I had read the manifesto once before, and was enamored with the idea; however, I was told I was much too young and to wait and get a job before buying my own books. I was desperate to learn more, so I sought out as many people as possible who could tell me more about the Union and its labors (my own family did nothing but speak poorly of it to dissuade me): an orchestra conductor; retired staff officers; my violin instructor. I inundated myself with as much information as I could, given the circumstances and my young age.

Without delving into philosophy and the like, I decided to use the opportunity I have here to continue the work of so many who came before me - ended up double majoring in political economy and theoretical physics (astrophysics, spc.).

tl;dr: Family did good work, then not so great work, and now I'm interested in continuing their work

My father had a front row seat to 2008 financial crash. I would probably not have been a leftist if the banks did get broken up and bankers did went to jail. Capitalism died in 2008.

I feel like a fucking failure (who might at some point struggle out of it, but that remains to be seen) and want to prevent other people from being as big a failure as I am. I want to help invent a society without big depressed failures like me. That's my goal in life. That's why I'm a socialist.

Being petit-bouj, especially a petty landlord is a moral rot, that plus all the evidence shows capitalism isn't compatible with a liveable earth. So even if it's not in my class interests, communism is in my interest as a living being.

Thanks for your contribution user!

I was born in Kentucky I wanted to find a way to stop everyone from being miserable. I found out it's bigger than my backward ass state.

Now, I mostly do it for fun.

Based.

Correct…also to survive the revolution too.

what about muh based jews like marx and rosa

I became a socialist after falling in love with a leftist girl. I was a reactionary libertarian, and then she introduced me to socialism. It didn't pan out, but if it weren't for her I'd probably be shitposting on Zig Forums right now. She changed my life desu

I think capitalism makes people terrible and boring. Poverty and suffering doesn't produce good people, and even under better circumstances spending most of your days forced into wage labour makes people boring. That goes for me too btw I think people around me would be more interesting and more fun, and I would also be more fun and interesting if that wasn't the case. Having a more fun and interesting life is pretty much why I want socialism.

Also the amount of unnecessary suffering and the threat of human extinction is a big motivator.

I got curious about anti-capitalist politics because in the US, criticizing capitalism is so taboo that no one can form a coherent argument in defense of it anymore.

All other political orientations either want to change the world for the worse, or not at all.
Seeing the state of the left and its history it fills me with doubtful feelings but I simply look at what would be the alternative and I regain my confidence.

to me it is less about overthrowing capitalism and more about removing the corrupt and injust. it would seem that capitalism is the vehicle of choice for the corrupt and injust in our age, but keep in mind cheaters can be found everywhere.
i want the banks to die

Back to Zig Forums bootlicker.

I want to be a part of an apocalyptic revenge fantasy

Fucking this.

There is no way I will get to enjoy a socialist world. I just want revenge.

what kind of cool stuff?

lol, touche

A solid bicycle, a rifle, a home all to myself, decent PC.
Creature comforts really.

You can get those things without fighting. Unless of course you think going to work is a fight, in which case you have my solidarity famrade.
