User:Life in General

Welcome to my userpage! I'm currently a 2nd year BA student at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, majoring in philosophy and sociology. Politically, I'm an anarchist communist, and a platformist-especifist. I've been editing on Wikipedia since 22 March 2010, and I've only recently discovered Anarchopedia. I also have an account on RationalWiki. I plan on doing a lot of work here to improve Anarchopedia's coverage of anarchism and working class struggle in southern Africa; and particularly Johannesburg. I also plan on improving Anarchopedia's coverage of the Palestinian national liberation struggle, national liberation struggles in general, labour history, platformism-especifismo, environmentalism and queerness.
