As a Person planning on Majoring in Political science when I get to college Politics is a very important part of my identity as a person.

POLITICAL JOURNEY

Growing up my parents always tought me to be kind to others. I grew up christian , although I'm not anymore (I'm agnostic.). the Golden rule was burned into a little 5 year old mes brain. to this day i still never understand how people could be so hateful to their fellow man. An interest in history came up at this time thanks to Game Theory. other than that little me only really believed what my parents told him, both of which are more left leaning (I feel my father is more left than my mother, not like I can ask her now though). An interest in left leaning ideology started with my Eddsworld obsession in 2018-2019. One of the characters in the show, Tord, is labeled as a communist. Unfortunately I was one of those annoying people with band kid humor who thought the USSR anthem was the funniest thing ever. Fast forward to 2020, during covid. I had taken an Interest in ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) due to the BLM protests at the time. This was my first real step into being interested in politics. I had my first exposure to Communism in an actual serious sense and ended up agreeing with a lot of what was brought up in leftist spaces. one memory I hold was a bunch of LibLefts saying that you should only be LibLeft on the Political Compass and be being really confused because "isnt the Red quadrant in the left too? why are they being grouped in with the bad guys(LibRight and AuthRight)". Ahh my first exposure leftist infighting. no one hates leftists more than other leftists, am I right? I think I even remember asking my dad if I could borrow his copy of The Communist Manifesto in 2021 or 2022. although my political opinions in 2020-2023 held no depth other than "rich people bad and minorities are good", which is still TRUE I just didnt have any political depth!! I also remember doing a project for German Class on Karl Marx and this one kid asked me "whats with your obsession with Karl Marx?" hey kid in my german class I didnt like, I didnt have an obsession with Karl Marx at that time asshole. In 2023 or early 2024 my brother gave me his copy of Das Kapital by Karl Marx and brought it with me to my schools culture fair where my schools philosophy club had a booth. yeah I was in Philosophy club, I'm a nerd ok? Late 2024 I was scrolling on my youtube recommendeds when I saw a video of some guy ranking every fetish with a youtube I watch, sisyphus 55 in the thumbnail. I was bored so I clicked the video, ended up liking it and clicked on the guys channel to see what else he had made that id be interested in. I scrolled down on his channel to see a Youtube series called "Centricide" yep thats right. like many other young people my only interest in politics is because of jreg. kill me if you will. I ended up really liking it but didnt really focus on ituntil may of 2025. because of this show I had bought. so many books. its crazy. something also very funny is that I was antiquing with a few friends, and I had bought an old playboy from the 80s, I didnt realize until i got home that there was an interveiw with FIDEL CASTRO ON IT. so now I have two separate pieces of literature connected to communist Cuba, the Motorcycle Diaries and A FUCKING PLAYBOY. I have been Nutzy coocoo about politics for the past few months, I'm even going to community college for Political science ! I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet, but im sure ill figure it out.

POLCOMP RESULTS

ok so i wont even lie im only putting this here because im bored.

RESOURCES

so this will be a colection of left leaning resources as I myself align left. for general Communist writings I recommend The Marxist Internet Archive. its a good collection of writings. there is also The Anarchist Library for if your opinions lie farther south on the political compass.
