1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz.
Economic left/right: -8.88 Social libertarian/authoritarian: -5.41
2) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance?
personally I hope to spread fhe usually considered ultra leftists ideals such as anarcho-communism and libertarian communism and make understand that those aren't releted to people like Stalin, want to have discussions and learn very much. And, obviuslly, plain a wrldwide revolution
3) How did you hear about the LSA?
I heard about it on many Instagram accounts (trotskysts, anarchists, Liberalcommunists, Leninists...) and the I've been introduced personally
4) Do you support equal freedom for all?
Without freedom socialism is brutality and democracy is the road to it: like everything in marxism, freedom has to be equally for everybody. Only in some situation, like happened to the Italian Fascists after war in my country, freedom has to be limitated.
5) What are your views on revolution?
Inevitably, unluckly it will be probably quiet violent, but for the cops and state fault. Anyway it has to be an intelligent revolution where everybody thinks with their heads and does't has to protect imperialism and capitalism in any circumstantions

"who makes bad actions, is not responsable only of his bad action, but also of the victim's violent reaction" Promessi Sposi, A. Manzoni

One of its leader Subcomandate Marcos (sub of submited comandant) is very well known. I consider it being a potential group, but I have to study more about the argoument
8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist?
Lenin, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci and , well, Marx
9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority?
Also if your ideal is right, with violence people will only hate it, and then, without people there's not revolution
10) What ideology do you mainly follow?
1) Trotskysm, 2) Leninism 3) libertarian communism 4) anarchocommunism
11) Your age?
14(almost 15)

the country where the Mussolini's grandoughter (and ex pornostar) can make politics and be listened, talking about the values of traditional family... Luckly we had Gramsci and Matteotti
13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA?
I can rarely think about a moment I don't spend reasonating about communism: it is my life primary objective

I don't know much of the EZLN and CNT-FAI, but I do know they are linked with Spanish Anarchists and Communists during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Yet again I might be pulling shit out of my ass, put I know the association and that these groups/territories fought for anarcho-communism 8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist? I love the works of Marx, Chompsky, and Kropotkin. I also like Trotsky too. 9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority? Humans are free creatures that are naturally not, well, assholes.

1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz.
Economic Left/Right: -9.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08
2) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance?
I hope to gain more comrades and learn more about various subgroups of LibSoc. I hope to gain a place of organization.
3) How did you hear about the LSA?
My friend an comrade who has an account on here but has not disclosed the name of it.
4) Do you support equal freedom for all?
If 'all' means all humans and even animals, yes.
5) What are your views on revolution?
A necessary part of history and politics, it is the primary and most significant driving force behind change, be it social, political, economic, etc.
6) What are your views on violence?
I'd hate myself if I killed an insect. It is a highly useful tool, but should be the last resort. Violence in self-defense is acceptable
7) Do you know of the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainian Free Territory, and the EZLN, and if so give a brief description of each.
Yes, yes, and yes.
The CNT-FAI were Anarcho-Syndicalist organizations that functioned as one on the Iberian Peninsula, i.e. Spain and Portugal. The Confederción hasd the objective of establishing solidarity among workers, as well as establishing revolutionary syndicalism. They currently support Spanish workers movements. The Federación was established to keep the CNT anarchist and also hoped to achieve unity among all living on the Iberian Peninsula.
The Ukrainian Free Territory was established as an attempt to form an anarchist society during the Ukrainian Revolution. Their economy was based off of anarchist theory by Peter Kropotkin. The territory was run by peasants and workers alike. The Makhnovists called for organizations of various political parties including the Bolsheviks.
The EZLN was established and is based out of Chiapas in Southern Mexico, they formed as result of the harsh treatment, inequality and injustice toward the indigenous Mayan people; they also formed on New Years Day, the day the North American Free Trade Agreement was put into effect. Their primary spokesperson is Subcomandante Insurgente Galeano. Their ideology is a mix between Libertarian Socialism and traditional Mayan values and therefore reject political classification. Currently their war with the Mexican state has been mostly defensive.
8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist?
Marx, Kropotkin, Ocalan, Bakunin, Nietzsche, Chomsky, Thoreau are the ones the immediately come to mind.
9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority?
It is easily if not inherently corrupt and 'evil' and it does not understand the people well. I am more capable of governing myself than a group of businessmen I will never meet.
10) What ideology do you mainly follow?
I've been known to travel all around the board of Libertarian Socialism but I've called myself an Anarcho-Communist more times than anything else. I'm a staunch Transhumanist but I'm not quite sure it needs its own field of Anarchy.
11) Your age?
18
12) Where are you from?
North Alabama, USA
13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA?
I will do what is necessary for my comrades, and I have the occasional ultra(ish) radical bout.
14) Are there any skills you can offer to the LSA? If so, please list them.
I offer my ability to draw, I've done a few propaganda pieces, but the keyword there is 'few'. I am concise and direct, or at least try to be, in getting my point across. I have a somewhat notable sway over the Libertarian Socialist and greater Socialist community on iFunny (it looks stupid to me too, but hey, there's a lot over there). I took Latin so I can kinda understand it, I can also understand somewhere between 40-60% of the Spanish language. I intend to major in Biomedical Engineering.
15) Any additional information you'd like to share with us?
Nothing I can think of.
16) Please message verbalanarchist64 on these forums with a way to contact you (instagram, email, etc. just NO PHONE NUMBERS)
I'm just gonna put it all in here but if I see him or something I'll message him.

1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz.
Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.85
2) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance?
Knowledge, fulfilment, community.
3) How did you hear about the LSA?
From a member.
4) Do you support equal freedom for all?
Yes.
5) What are your views on revolution?
I see it as necessary and indeed inevitable. The way the world is going right now just isn't sustainable in the long term.
6) What are your views on violence?
I have previously opposed it in all its forms, but have come to realise that it, too, may be necessary, as other methods of reform are firmly in the control of the bourgeois elite.
7) Do you know of the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainian Free Territory, and the EZLN, and if so give a brief description of each.
CNT-FAI is an anarchist organisation that fought on the republican side in the Spanish civil war.
EZLN, if memory serves, is some kind of anarchist or at least socialist faction that's currently in open revolt in Mexico.
8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist?
I have yet to read a lot of socialist literature, so for the moment I'd have to go with Karl Marx.
9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority?
Because I perceive the authority of any state as illegitimate, and restrictions on personal freedom fundamentally as shackles on humankind's true potential.
10) What ideology do you mainly follow?
Anarchist communism.
11) Your age?
19.
12) Where are you from?
Southern Finland.
13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA?
For me, a life undevoted to the revolution is a life without meaning. That is to say; very.
14) Are there any skills you can offer to the LSA? If so, please list them.
Skills and interest in object-oriented programming. Interest in, and ability to create, music with revolutionary themes.
15) Any additional information you'd like to share with us?
Not that I can think of.

1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz. www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-9.13&soc=-2.212) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance? New friendships, alliances, influences, and overall, more knowledge about Libertarian Socialism. Hopefully, someday, experience in activism with likeminded people from the LSA as well. 3) How did you hear about the LSA? Instagram. Specifically, through Lucie and Jasper, who I've spoken to on Skype and Kik a few times. 4) Do you support equal freedom for all? Freedom is earned, not given. I support freedom for each person and people willing to fight for it. Those who do not fight or contribute do not deserve freedom. 5) What are your views on revolution? Revolution is bloody. Political power flows from the barrel of a gun, so the system will not change in our favor through pacifism. 6) What are your views on violence? A necessary force in revolution, but a formidable evil when used in personal affairs, against civilians, or when used against the otherwise innocent (both humans and animals). 7) Do you know of the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainian Free Territory, and the EZLN, and if so give a brief description of each. CNT-FAI: I know little of the Civil War in Spain, but they were one of the first successful anarchist groups who used force against the state to achieve their aims and gain some land for themselves. They were revolutionary syndicalists, and remain the largest solidarity organisation in Spain for the working class. Ukrainian Free Territory: Headed by Makhno's Black Army in their fights for independence, it was possibly the largest AnCom territory and society ever claimed. They had the largest artillery force on the planet at the time, and fought off the White Army, Red Army, and many others to keep their freedom. EZLN: An Anarchist militia and political entity in Southern Mexico. They use direct action to secure rights of all people, from workers to indigenous ethnic groups, in Mexico from the state. 8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist? I haven't done much reading into anarchism or other libertarian forms of Socialism, and I feel as though theory matters little in comparison to action. However, if I had to choose, it would likely be Nestor Makhno. He believed Anarchism was a true form of revolution to achieve Communism, and that violence was necessary for a successful revolution. He was not afraid to be a martyr or inspire others to be in the name of Liberation. 9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority? The state and capitalism are both inseparable and unjust hierarchies. Capitalism will always exist as long as the state does, and vice versa. 10) What ideology do you mainly follow? I prefer anarcho-Syndicalism. I look up to a few different ideologies though, including Marxism-Leninism. I feel that Anarcho-Syndicalism is the most efficient way of forming an anarchist and Communist society where I live, however. 11) Your age? 17. 12) Where are you from? The US. I'd elaborate in a PM if necessary. 13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA? I would like to begin recruiting people through Instagram and Facebook, and to help discussions on theory in the group. Someday, once there is enough support, I'd like to recruit in person and participate in rallies, protests, and direct action in support of our communities. 14) Are there any skills you can offer to the LSA? If so, please list them. I have experience in conducting meetings, participating in activism and recruiting on the streets, and I am educated in ideologies opposed to the LSA, as well as their tactics. 15) Any additional information you'd like to share with us? I am soon to enter the workforce and university. Once there, I plan to join some other activist groups and organisations that align with my views, and to participate in direct action with them, as well as spread socialist tendencies to others in my area.

1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz.
(-10.-7.38)
2) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance?
Friendships and philosophical maturity
3) How did you hear about the LSA?
I'm a moderator
4) Do you support equal freedom for all?
As I believe in equality I believe in freedom. To have freedom is to preform certain actions without hindrance, the inverse of this is to not have freedom is to not be able to preform certain actions. To not be able to preform certain actions implies somebody has more power than you, creating a hierarchy meaning that you are unequal. So in order to have as much freedom as possible, power must be spread out evenly.
5) What are your views on revolution?
My on revolution are odd to say the least. I take the Leninist view of let things get as bad as possible (Neoliberalism) to spark a proletarian revolution as the working class will get sick of the ruthless exploitation. For the revolution I take the Maoist view of Protracted People's Wars, just a Libertarian version as opposed to Authoritarian.
6) What are your views on violence?
Freedom first, then peace.
7) Do you know of the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainian Free Territory, and the EZLN, and if so give a brief description of each.
Yes.
CNT-FAI: A Libertarian Socialist union that controlled Catalonia during the 1930s. They were a Dictatorship of the Proletariat by their own admission.
Ukrainian Free Territory: An Anarchist territory in Ukraine controlled by the Makhnovists.
EZLN: An Anarchist group in the Chiapas that has declared war on the government of Mexico
8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist?
Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxembourg, Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin, Peter Kropotkin, Anton Pannekoek, Murray Bookchin, Abdullah Ocalan, Daniel DeLeon, Max Stirner, and Leon Trotsky
9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority?
I dislike strict authority as it restricts individual freedom and makes society unequal.
10) What ideology do you mainly follow?
Libertarian Post Marxism
11) Your age?
15
12) Where are you from?
The United States, specifically Pennsylvania.
13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA?
As devoted as financially possible.
14) Are there any skills you can offer to the LSA? If so, please list them.
Honestly, no. The most I am is an entertainer as opposed to a serious thinker.
15) Any additional information you'd like to share with us?
I've never felt the touch of a woman.

1) Please Post results of your most recent political compass quiz.
Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.95
2) What do you hope to gain as a member of the Libertarian Socialist Alliance?
First, and foremost, I want to participate in intelligent conversation about the principles, theories, ideological concepts, and obstacles to a society based on libertarian socialism.
3) How did you hear about the LSA?
Internet search for libertarian socialist websites.
4) Do you support equal freedom for all?
Absolutely! In fact, I believe it is necessary in realizing an egalitarian society.
5) What are your views on revolution?
I believe that any real social change from the status quo will require a revolution. The state and the capitalist ruling class will not surrender to the level of changes needed and required.
6) What are your views on violence?
I believe that militant direct action will accomplish more than violence. However, based on a response from the state to extinguish any militant direct action, violence may be necessary. However, violence will never be the first choice or the automatic sanctioned option. The problem with violence is twofold:
Violence steals the message as the message becomes about the violence.
The state will always have the upper hand in violent conflict. History has documented time after time after time that the state will brutally crush violent dissent.
7) Do you know of the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainian Free Territory, and the EZLN, and if so give a brief description of each.
No.
8) Who is your favorite writer/philosopher/theorist?
Peter Kropotkin for his early contribution to anarchist-communism. I believe his straightforward analysis of the state and capitalism in easy-to-understand language should be required reading at the high school level.
Robin Hahnel for his detailed theoretic presentation of participatory economics (parecon)
9) Why do you dislike government/strict authority?
It totally extinguishes democracy.
10) What ideology do you mainly follow?
Social Anarchism/Libertarian Socialism
11) Your age?
59
12) Where are you from?
I am currently a retired expat from the U.S. residing in Ecuador.
13) How devoted are you willing to be towards the cause of the LSA?

14) Are there any skills you can offer to the LSA? If so, please list them.
