who writes these bangers you might ask?
Hi! I'm Daniela, and at the time of writing this a 3rd year Poli-Sci student, 21 years old.
I have an immense ammount of ideas for what i wanna do with this website going forward, and i hope some of my writings may be a way for you to learn/ to ponder on/ to get curious about something!
My goal in making this website and "producing content" is to share the knowledge I'm accumulating by being a Marxist. I believe knowledge means close to nothing if it's not being shared, and as the conditions in my country are less than optimal for a revolution, maybe sharing my silly little writings will help radicalize some people into doing real life work.
I call myself a Marxist-Leninist as that seems the most appropriate label. I became a ?leftist at around 16, when the illusion of capitalism was already becoming too much. By the time i was 18 I decided to actually read Marx and inform myself on existing Socialist projects, and with the love that only a teenage girl can have I fell for Che, and the ever-romantic Cuban Revolution. From there things came naturally, anti-imperialism and the conclusion that that can only exist under a non-capitalist system. To quote the man mentioned above " The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality."¹ , and that is the driving force behind me, and this project.
I reject the Fukuyama-idea of the "End of History", quite frankly i find it offensive, blasphemy even. I consider our job, as modern Marxists, is to learn from our past socialist experiments, read theory and act accordingly.
Long live the Resistence!
