About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting a revolutionary movement that will break capitalism and result in a democratic peoples republic worldwide.

ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year old man from Norway. The most noteworthy thing about me is my political persuation. I am a communist, and active in a party called Red, and its youth branch known as Red Youth. I have been active with this since early 2009. This means simply that i oppose Capitalism, and recognize that it is a system that will, given the oppertunity, destroy mankind in its shameless hunt for profit. I ultimately work with trying to bring down this system and replace it with a system that is controlled by the people, for the people.

I am also into music. I play the bass quite poorly, and have plans of making a band somewhere in the close future.

I live in Norway, where I go to college. I am taking a masters degree that will, when finished, give me the title of "Lektor", pretty much a highschool teacher.

I'm not sure what else to include here. If you have any questions, simply send me a message! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Marxist. I view the world through a marxist analysis, and thus I disagree strongly with the way the world works. Summarizing this shortly and accurately here would be a herculean task, so i shall suffice to say that i want to change the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a fairly paranoid person, and quite sceptical of people. As such, the idea of having a complete stranger i met through a website sleep on my couch seems like madness! However, I am here to give it a shot.

Interests

Well, between politics, music and studying, I really don't have time for much more.

  • partying
  • politics
  • magic
  • music
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a bit, most things from fantasy to political stuff. I am not sure what my favorite book is, but i do enjoy "a song of ice and fire", which is a series of books by George R. R. Martin. I also read a bit of marxist litterature, which is fun.

As for movies, i can watch almsot anything. I particularely enjoy "surreal realism", as it was once described to me, which are movies based in the real world but with supernatural phenomena. Like Groundhog day. I also enjoy sci-fi movies, and the occational brainless action movie along the lines of Die Hard.

I listen to many kinds of music too. I am one of those people who likes some music within every genre, but not every band. I am selective, yet very non-selective. However i stick to some degree to hiphop and various forms of rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In december 2009, when the top leaders of the world met in Copenhagen to discuss the climate, I traveled down with Red Youth, my youth communist party, and demonstrated in the streets with over a hundred thousand others for a different system. I carried a banner saying Capitalism (arrow to the right), Green future (arrow to the left). I met lots of great people, had a great time, and had an experience I will never ever forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

This sounds like fun. Alright, well i can give you a detailed analysis of many aspects of society, and explain in detail why todays society needs to be replaced. I can also teach you some rudamentary bass playing and magic the gathering playing. I am open to learning pretty much everything.
