User:Life in General

Welcome to my userpage! I'm Eric Nicolas Every, currently a BA student at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and a committed anarchist communist militant. I've been editing on Wikipedia since 22 March 2010, and I've only recently discovered Anarchopedia. I plan on doing a lot of work here to improve Anarchopedia's coverage of anarchism in South Africa; particularly in Johannesburg (I should probably get around to creating an article for Johannesburg at some stage!). I also plan on improving Anarchopedia's coverage of the Palestinian national liberation struggle, especifismo and platformism, environmentalism and queerness.
