I engage in political education three hours a day.
[Ranging from Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, CLR James, George Orwell, Ho Chi Minh, and others. I also read books critical of Marxist philosophy, for example I'm currently reading a piece by ex-Ronald Reagan advisor Richard Pipes, a fierce anti-communist.]
I write articles for local newspapers.
[I'm in the middle of writing one now for a local Iranian newspaper, written in two languages. I'm writing about hip-hop in Iran as a medium of resistance, specifically focussing on rapper "Hichkas".
I maintain several political websites.
[I'm second year in a web design class. My main political project is under heavy construction now, another is one I was just dicking around with before I started working on a new web project. Check it out
http://alwaysquestion.info ; I can't take credit for the design as it is not mine, but I did the shitty gfx on the site (and it's "Library"). This was when I was first learning photoshop]
I've been a part of actions that involved direct confrontations with police.
[Me in the bottom right. This picture went into a local major newspaper in Toronto.

I'll be hitting Nepal in the summer to start a web design workshop with the local revolutionaries there.
What can y'all say? PS, thanks for the thread. You know you stand up for something if you've got haters. Go on, but social practice is the only criterion for truth.
Peace.
