There's no good hard left wiki. Instead of fixing this problem, we've been sitting on our ass. This site has been a viable candidate for a while now, but because the admin has previously written on it using a slightly spooked "anti-Stalinist" perspective, it has been rejected. That's stupid. We can turn it into whatever we need it to be.
Anyone even remotely knowledgeable should start writing articles. The internet needs a website like this. Write on whatever topic related to Marxism and leftism. Worker cooperatives, cybernetic economic planning, dialectical materialism, maybe even internet drama could have a place on there… Whatever works for you. At the moment I mostly want to get a place like this off the ground.
We can change that. I've already placed a disclaimer at the top of the FAQ page and the admin seems fine with it.

that's not spooked, that's reasonable

Sure. It just isn't a good position for a Wiki like this to take. Ideally it should attract a broad base of Marxists and Marxist sympathizers.

Bump.

Just edit wikipedia. It's literally a libsoc governance structure based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Protected editing is just like seniority that you would see in any worker's union, and it's based off your editing history, contributions, and ability to cooperate with other workers. The bylaws that govern editing on wikipedia largely prevent evangelizing and historical revisionism beyond what already exists within the current state of scholarship. If you want to propagandize instead, the wiki is a poor format. If you want to combat poor scholarship and historical revisionism, that can be and is done both within wikipedia and academia itself.
