| Introduction | I'm an American democratic socialist (democratic Marxist/left-wing social democrat) and an Irish republican (I largely but not uncritcally support Sinn Fein). In 2003 I got a bachelor's degree in Ethnic Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I represented the Anti-Racism Commission of the Democratic Socialists of America at the 2002 National Conference of Sinn Fein Youth in Galway, Ireland.
