[edit] PERSONALITY

[edit] Libertarian Socialism

I am basically a libertarian socialist (but definitely not a social libertarian), born into a Marxist-Leninist society (however distorted), later questioning pretty much everything (dubito ergo sum). Today I try to formulate for myself a libertarian communism and municipalism without anarchism - orientated a bit on Star Trek but without all the American manners.

[edit] World Citizenship

I do not believe in the notion of Nations. This notion and religions are the two worst inventions in recent history, creating more divisions and hatred among people. All this quarrels remind me these tribal feuds European culture has so often - full of cliché - ascribed to African people but its actually all of us remaining in that state of tribe culture.

So I claim to be a world citizen, a true cosmopolitan. And naturally I'm not religious (not the least bit spiritual), an atheist (and I shrink away from the attempts to turn atheism into a church) who is both antireligious yet still tolerant enough to grant people their religions as long as they tolerate the religions of other people, or their being not religious. Consequently my opposition is aimed at the religious dogmata, institutions and conversions.
