What do your politics mean to you?: They inform all my choices.
Favourite thinkers: Marx/Lenin/Stalin/Mao!, Seriously tho I don't recognise any overwhelming need to have 'favourite thinkers' as most intelligent people can think through most philosophical and moral problems themselves. The same couldn't be said of sciences for example because that requires research and a background understanding of the formulae, theories and methodology for example. It's no biggie to say people should be free, and that a class system exists which benefits some whilst disenfranchising and enslaving the rest of us., If I have to put something I'd put Marx, Kropotkin and Bookchin.
Favourite political books: The Iron Heel, by Jack London, and The Political Police in Modern Britain, by Tony Bunyan
