    Hi Challenger! Nice to meet you.

    I may not be a Democrat, but I am probably tPF's ultimate all-around leftist. On the radical left sites, I'm considered very moderate. The truth is that I have very far-reaching ideals (e.g. common ownership of all property, absolute democracy, social equality, world peace, etc.), but am nonetheless very pragmatic when it comes to my real-world approach to politics (e.g. rarely, but occasionally support violence, have no objection to voting for genuinely left wing Democrats, etc.). I think that qualifies me as what people used to call a "pinko", which was a sort of Cold War-era slur used to describe people who were either advanced progressives or moderately radical in their views. I qualify as moderately radical. Maybe we could be allies, as it would seem that we presently share a common foe.
