Something somewhat akin to conservapedia, but, y'know, the exact opposite. Over the past few weeks I've been noticing a bit of a liberal/imperialist bias in a lot of wikipedia's articles and there never seems to be much information on more leftist policies and movements. Rational Wiki seems to be okay, but thought I'd ask if there's better sources for basic information.

    It'd be cool to have a MediaWiki instance attached to this site. Hopefully it wouldn't get editorialized into tankie-central, though there could certainly be a section of an article for full out ML/anarcho-/MLM/post-left perspective of course.

        Im extremely ML sympathetic (I hope my comment history shows this), but canonizing some of the perspectives I see on here in any way would be insufferable.

      Multiple perspectives coexisting on a wiki article is my favourite shit

        Yeah they just need to be couched or isolated in a separate section instead of the main body imo

        Perspectives are one thing, but if claims rest on imperialist propaganda it's not gonna be much better than Wikipedia.

        I'll be honest, I don't have much faith in an anarchist "perspective" on Maduro, for instance.
