Hello, name is Erick and I’m sort of new to Wikipedia. Although I’ve had an account for a couple years, I only started editing around April 2024. I also yap a lot so prepare ig.

This editor is a **Grognard** and is entitled to display this **Wikipedia Little Red Book**.

Things I am interested in editing

I’m interested in editing grammatical errors, errors in capitalization. I’ve also recently been branching out into more complicated edits, like citing sources, adding ideologies/political positions and forms of governments. Working with templates is a bit hard tho, but so far I’ve managed. So far, my proudest work has been updating and adding a great amount of information/edits to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party (with a hell of a lot of sources to back it up). Hoping to keep editing here and fix up stuff that needs fixing.

Political Positions and Ideology

I would consider myself a left-leaning person and I hold my beliefs close. I am a viewer and supporter (not financially) of the YouTuber and livestreamer Vaush and find his content entertaining and informative. I’m a progressive and gender fluid. I’m also an agnostic atheist and an anti-theist. I used to be an apolitical anti-SJW type, but I later became a Socialist Progressive. I was briefly, for a year or two, sympathetic to Maoist and more Marxist-Leninist views, though still believing in some Liberal concepts and ideals. I have since rejected have since rejected Maoism and Marxism-Leninism as state capitalist and totalitarian and the liberal beliefs as not going far enough to affect social change and creating an egalitarian society. I also was more of an Anarchist more than today (I still do, just not as an immediate goal. I am a member of Progressive Victory and hope to join the Democratic Socialists of America and Young DSA once I can make enough money to play the dues.

List of people not in any particular order

Political

Vaush: I like to watch his content on YouTube and I think he’s pretty good for analysis and entertainment. Agree with most if not almost all of what he says (Not dogmatically, I’ve disagreed with him before, like his video game takes and third-party takes).
Karl Marx: Great theory, cool beard, kinda stinky tho (I hear he didn't shower much, ewwwww).
Peter Kropotkin: Bread Santa! I like a lot of his theory and ideas that I’ve heard. Gonna read the Conquest of Bread one of these days. It can’t sit on my shelf forever.
Bernie Sanders: He’s probably the best politician America has currently (maybe ever but even I’m not so sure). He should’ve been president and would have if Democrats didn’t steal it (being hyperbolic, but still) from him by smearing him and all dropping out to endorse Clinton and Biden.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She been a great advocate for the progressive/democratic socialist movement and I have great hopes for her. Hope to see her as president one day.
Tim Walz: “That’s my governor!” -Me seeing that Kamala Harris picked him as her VP pick. Shame they lost but it’s further evidence of the inefficiency and decay of liberalism. Tim Walz himself is very based though and I really like him. I get free school lunch now so that’s great! Hoping he becomes a progressive leader of the Democratic Party, seems like he’s on track for it.
Floyd B. Olson: Probably the best governor Minnesota. His progressive policies were good. Currently on and off reading a biography on him. Shame he died so young. Also really fascinated by his party and like it a lot. Hopefully the DFL learns more and becomes more like them
Franklin D. Roosevelt: He did a lot of great policies and programs that would be great to bring back. Wish he didn't die so soon, could’ve had free healthcare and more.
Lyndon B. Johnson: Not on foreign policy. Other than that, he also did great policies and programs.
Lázaro Cárdenas: I like a lot of his policies and programs, like the nationalization of oil. My dad even tells me "he was the best president we’ve had”.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador: Also like a lot of what he did, though some sucked, like how Tren Maya was handled.
Claudia Sheinbaum: Hoping she’s good for México, she seems promising and seems to be quite popular...
Vladimir Lenin: Not so much as he was authoritarian, but its great that he was able to do a successful socialist revolution, not that he killed other leftists among other authoritarian excesses.
Josip Broz Tito: He was pretty based actually. His leadership during the Yugoslav resistance (in killing fashies) was great. Again, authoritarian but he was better than Stalin or other Marxist-Leninists. His Socialist self-management is pretty interesting. Shame it failed along with the Yugoslav idea.

Musicians/Bands

Kurt Cobain/Nirvana: I like Nirvana a lot and learned most of their songs on guitar and they have been my favorite band for around 4 years now.
Mass of the Fermenting Dregs: So incredibly peak, really like their music and I wanna see them live sometime.
