I, a communist

Mwahahahahahaaaaa! Today I actually signed the list proposal for a local alliance of the Socialist Left Party, the Marxists (not very in my experience) and some independent reds. They're trying to put together an alternative before September's local elections here in my hometown and since they're a new alternative they needed 300 signatures in order to run.

I don't know if they'll make it, but to me it's mostly a question of democracy. To my mind this means giving the people what they want, good and hard. If a majority of the locals think we should give these loonies (ok, ok, I actually know many of them and they're nice people) power, so be it. We'll have four years of dreamy idiocy and then the state can come in and clean up the remains before giving power to the right for the next twenty years...

Anyway, they're a democratic alternative (not much prolatarian revolution left here...) and I think they should be allowed to give it a go, even though I don't agree with them on much. I certainly won't vote for them. But since I'm not a member of any other party, I'll at least give them my signature, if they want it. That's a small price to pay for democracy.
