    I never made one of these, so I figured I might as well now. My name is Anthony.I live in Connecticut. I am 15 years old, and a hell of a lot more mature than most my age. I play Xbox and PC games. Seeing as I play on a P.o.S. laptop, most new games I play are on my 360. I play BF3, skyrim, DoW: Retribution, half-life, and many more. Been a fan of Stalin for a little while now, and found him on YouTube through Arm4g3dd0nX. Also a fan of Rage Against The Machine, Immortal Technique, Lowkey, and, a non-musician, Dan Carlin. That about sums me up!

    Where are your nationalist feelings, Earl? Our country is the greatest in the world! (Sarcasm rules the world.)

    No... No, NO, NO!!!!! My world... It's collapsing, I can't.. get breath... The person... My idol... My only follower... Is an allochtoon! I... Have no... need to live anymore... I might as well end my life now...

    Anyway, are you really an allochtoon (which is apparently a real English word)? And if yes, where do you/your parent(s) come from?

    I explained that a long time ago in 'Family History'... Both my parents were born in Guangdong province in southern China, but was born here so that makes me a second generation allochtoon...

    So any other allochtonen around here?

    What is your opinion on the Chinese political situation? Why does China keep saying they are communist, while they obviously aren't anymore?

    I visited southern China and Hong Kong last summer... My family (well at my family members who live in the Netherlands) have a pretty negative opinion on Chinese communism... Afterall it were the communists who sentenced my greatgrandfather to prison in the early years of Mao's reign. He later died in prison when my grandpa was fifteen (I have explained that as well in 'Family History').

    I very sceptic about China's current situation, but I think that they've seen that Maoism hasn't worked out very well and they reformed and developed the country and now they're back... It's still the Communist party that rules China...

    So I guess you are very opposed to communism?

    I don't have much against the ideas of Marx and Engels... However, I do blame (some, not all) communist leaders of self-enrichment, nepotism, and unhuman acts against their opponents...

    That is one of the biggest problems I have with communism too.

    Don't mistake me for a conservative or right-wing liberal... When it's about communism and social democracy I am just sceptical, but the same goes for conservatism and neoliberalism...

    I got that. And I mostly agree with what you say. I am not a communist, it'd just be too good to be true. The problems with communism are way to big, even bigger(!) than with capitalism. A do have lots of democrat-socialist ideas. I do think it's sad you have to be 18 to vote, on the other hand, lowering the age for voting rights would hugely increase Geert Wilders' popularity, something I wouldn't want.

    I believe in some kinda solidarity, respect, and freedom... However I don't have a strong opinion on everything, am a bad orator, and I am someone without strong ambitions, ideas, and priciples. So that makes an incompetent politician...
