Leninist communist who’s an aspiring activist.

Parabola lover.

Leftypedia editor.

Thanks for asking that, we get that question a lot.

For one, ProleWiki follows a very narrow set of Marxist–Leninist thought. We’re mainly Marxist-orientated, but seek to allow all socialists to contribute so long as they act in good faith.

ProleWiki also doesn’t really allow original discourse as much as we do too.

We respect ProleWiki for what they are, but we understand that we have two different goals and nieces.

Thanks for asking that.

We’re mostly made up of communists and you’ll see that viewpoint in our articles, but we’re aiming to be multi-tendency and allow other socialists to join and edit so long as they present well-sourced information. We are different from ProleWiki in many ways, one of which includes our focus on providing original leftist discourse.

We are similar to ProleWiki in that we’re both trying to spread revolutionary theory in an easy-to-understand way, it’s more that we fill different roles.

Definitely. Glad I could help.

Sure, for certain people, it can be a great resource. But for people looking for more general leftist politics and info on praxis, practical action, and so on Leftypedia is more intended for them.

Hello!

Thanks for your feedback. We’re happy to see other left-wing projects too! Although we have our differences, we’re all working for the people and workers’ movement in the end. We respect your project as much as you respect ours.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is a great distro. I love Arch Linux in general, and Parabola takes all of that and puts it under the totally free Linux-libre kernel. Too bad I’ve had to use main-line Arch and other OSes on some of my work machines due to software issues, but I’m hopeful more libre and GNU/Linux alternatives can be developed in the future.

Thanks!

Capitalist realism. Human society has always been able to solve its problems. The issue is capitalism — our current society — can’t solve the problems it created like massive wars, hunger, regular economic crisis, and global warming.

Capitalism hasn’t existed forever, and it won’t exist in the future. Our civilization will solve the problem of capitalism by seeing to its abolition.
