About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Socialism

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from the Isle of Wight (south coast of england) and have spent time living in Brighton (uni) and Tang Shan, China (teaching). I have no intention of making any kind of relationship in my life other than friendship. I love to drink, smoke and eat and certainly dont believe in abstaining from pleasure for a possible tommorow. I am a Marxist, a Trotskyist, a Socialist.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful and constantly changing through conflict and contradiction. Learn from your mistakes. Question everything.
