About me

Location the internet, the world
Introduction journalist/writer/editor. this blog is called the petrashevsky circle II. my mind has always been deeply inspired by philosophical egalitarianism and socialist ideals. (but no worries. unlike dostoevsky and his friends, i will not end up getting arrested. because the petrashesvky circle II is different than the original one. this blog is a cyber place where i can enjoy freedom of thought and speech! thanks to democracy and the internet!)
