Welcome!

This is my first blog post on this blog. I'm just testing it out. :) I've created blogs prior to this, but I never updated any of them. Maybe I'll go somewhere with this one.

 A little bit about me, I was once a firebrand Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity loving Conservative. That is, when I first began thinking about Politics. When the 2012 election came around, and the Arab Spring began to occur, I shifted more to the Peter Schiff, and Ron Paul Libertarians.
Today, I am a Socialist. Perhaps, even farther Left than Karl Marx (a joke perhaps, but it might actually be accurate.) I've come to the conclusion that Laissez Faire Capitalism has never actually existed. I've also come to believe in extreme non-violence, pacifism, antiwar, anti-Imperialism and so on. My first large influence on my political thinking was Robert Spencer.

Recently, I've come around to the views of people like Cornel West, Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky and Bernie Sanders. When I read the Communist Manifesto I literally was overwhelmed with what I saw as great wisdom in print.

I plan on reviewing books, posting significant news, and maybe certain personal pieces here.
