Nobody would believe my upbringing was anything but 'fiction'. My father's heroes were people like Che Guevera, Fidel Castro, Gadaffi, Mandela, and a whole group of revolutionaries. My father, and also his father before him were rabid anti-american (not the people, the government/imperial state, before anybody gets upset), and I also had a lot of relatives who fought against the fascist Franco during the Spanish Civil War too -- I come from a line of communists/socialists
Laying around my house were copies of the communist manifesto, biographies of Castro and battered copies of Solzhenitsyn. This along with my mothers Catholicism made it all very strange, but a good kind of strange
Maybe I'll write about it one day
