It’s very nice to meet you. I’m a huge fan of Mao Zedong myself

Nice! I originally was in the RCP's Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade from 2001-2007 as a young guy, then floated around various Maoist collectives across the 2000's-2010's until I converted to Islam then subsequently moved to China. I still write extensively about Maoism (2nd edition of my book is coming out soon) and curate a collection of rare Mao badges and Red Guard armbands from the Cultural Revolution!

That’s amazing! I’m currently trying to educate myself while I find others in my area who might share my convictions. I may have to relocate but I’m going to join an org as soon as I can. Unfortunately, in my current location I feel incredibly isolated. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet two other revolutionaries who I’d trust with my life through a now defunct org. Our friendship is the only positive product of my involvement in these orgs.

I’m personally Catholic, but I have a lot of respect for Islam. Some of my friends have converted and they joke that it’s only a matter of time before I follow suit lol.
