# A Glimpse Into My Inner World ![[FezdAylWIAAGUFo.jpg]] This is the personal website of Persephone Raskova. I will be using it mainly as a wiki-style [Zettelkasten](https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/) to host my personal writings on various topics. My main interests are political economy, military science, communism, revolutions, and Marxism. Other interests of mine include philosophy, computer science and engineering, mathematics, logic, and psychology. A little bit about me: - I'm in my 30s - I am a Communist. I am always learning, but ideologically I adhere to the philosophy of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM). What I mean by this is that I uphold the following: - Revolutionary Marxism - Anti-Revisionism - Marxism-Leninism as the political foundations of the science of revolution - The acknowledgment of the unique contributions of Mao Zedong, who advanced the theory of Marxism-Leninism with the following contributions: 1. Cultural Revolution 2. Protracted People's War (PPW) - PPW is a universally applicable doctrine which is to be used as a tool of liberation for the masses 3. New Democracy - New Democracy is important to study in order to understand the context of other revolutions, past and present. However, it is not applicable to the context of the United States, which is where I live and seek to make revolution happen. 4. The Mass Line - I am a transgender woman. It is my personal belief that for most of my life I was raised as a man, and indoctrinated into masculinity. So you could say I was socialized male. But I am a woman. I just happen to be a woman with a unique set of life experiences, as is true of all women or people more generally. - I come from a petit-bourgeois class background. I currently work as a software developer, but in the past I've been entirely dependent upon jobs of a proletarian nature. So my life in terms of class position has gone from the upper stratum of the petit bourgeoisie, to proletarian, and then back to the petit bourgeoisie. - I am former drug user, currently sober and in recovery. Fuck the 12 step model. - I am a veteran of the imperialist miltary.
