I want to make a Wikipedia for MLs.
As an alternative to Wikipedia.
Yes, but it’s biased against CPUSA (among other issues I have about it) and I’m afraid to edit it, even though I have a ProleWiki account, because my edits might not be approved or taken down.
Which is why I’m gathering some friends to help me make a Wikipedia alternative.
what do you mean by “biased”? Is what they are saying true or not? And if it isn’t true what exactly isn’t true about it. Have you ever written out anything to tell them what is incorrect about their position and correct about yours?
There is the Cuban https://www.ecured.cu/EcuRed:Enciclopedia_cubana There is also ProlWiki
EcuRed, right?
I know about this website.
Does it have an English version?
Also, I want to create an alternative to ProleWiki as well since it’s biased against CPUSA.
I’m asking some friends if they want to get involved.
Fuck Albert Camus, one of the worst modern French philosophers. Literally, it is the definition of first-world problems in philosophy
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Who is this “you all” you keep wishing a nice week to every week, I do not know anyone by the name You All
I have evidence of you not oppvotingpat pen the dog video I sent you last week there for I will not send you one this week
What are you talking about I have proof of doing it right here… I totaly did not just do that because I thought I upvoted last week and just learned I did not… no what are you talking about
I did a test by a newspaper to see if you are left or right wing and lo and behold I am a left wing progressive
This is a complete blindside. Your politics have always been an enigma and you’ve left many baffled with where you lie on the spectrum. Especially with the suspicion right wing post yesterday…. Hmm
Well the weird thing is: afterwards the quiz showed how other voters of specific parties ended up on the political compass. Most of the voters from our party were economically and social-culturally left of course, but there were also quite a few who were economically and social-culturally right wing. Which doesn’t make sense at all. Why vote for a marxist party? Lol.
I could actually believe that.
For the socially right wing people, we’ve seen them on the grad constantly. They’re the people who might be full marxists, but then despise LGBT people because they’re devout Muslims or Christians, or they were raised in an environment with those ideals and never shook them. Or they’re the people that are so extremely anti-racist that they end up becoming racist themselves. Or people that want socialism but only for chauvinist and protectionist reasons while hating foreigners.
For the economic right wing, I blame that on the right having good optics with their “bootstraps”, “individual freedom” and other such slogans that entice people on the surface. Or they know nothing about economics and they choose right wing options because they simply sound good despite being disastrous.
re reading Dialectical and Historical materialism and taking notes. Had some life issues that led me to stop reading theory for a while, but I’m back
