Almost seven months ago I started the Communitarian Section on Blogger, the link is in my profile. Communitarianism is basically social conservatism, fiscal liberalism plus a value for federalism and worker's rights.
I started this blog because I knew that there were a lot of people who had these views, but didn't know what to call themselves, who to vote for and which outlets to read and forums to join. I want to spread awareness about communitarianism, and share my opinions on our turbulent and controversial world.
Icarus K is just a moniker, I'm not an Ancient Greek mythological figure or a Franz Kafka protagonist, I'm just some guy from the UK. But the focus is on the articles and not my ego.
I write about economics, world affairs, Brexit, some social issues, public figures and other things. The Section (as I call it) isn't too dry and serious, there's some humour and caustic language.
What attracted me to Steemit in the first place, was the innovative structure and openness. For a while I've been looking for a blogging version of YouTube, where creators can publish their articles on a platform. Instead of posting on just one blog and trying to get people there. Steemit is a very interesting concept, so I'd like to see for myself what it's like.
My first few or so articles on Steemit will just be re-posts from my main blog, but I will see if future ones will be exclusive or published on both sites.
Thank you.
