Welcome

Welcome to "The Spectre Haunting"!

I'm excited to start this blog! I've always wanted to have one but have not been able to find the time.

What can you expect at The Spectre Haunting? Well, if you couldn't tell from the name (which comes from the Communist Manifesto), a fair dose of far-left politics. This will include theoretical pieces but will be more news oriented. That means analysis of current events and links to relatively obscure stories that you otherwise may have missed.

I am based in the United States, and while discussions will be centered on the US I absolutely plan to discuss what's going on around the world.

During the semester, I plan on writing weekly. Until February, however, I should be able to write 2-3 times a week.

I guess I should leave a personal note here: I am a student at Bard College majoring in sociology. My favorite hobby: chess. My favorite colors: red and black.

Feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments. I look forward to engaging with you.
