Prolewiki, the marxist-leninist encyclopedia, removed an administrator who tried to sabotage the project (you can see the evidence in the linked tweet). Therefore he was removed.

It took the infras a few minutes to find the tweet and start brigading it.

What else can I add? Their "huge" community and their "magacommunism" that will totally save the USA has like 920 members in their Telegram. They are less relevant than your local Five Guys that sees more traffic in a half day.

But they deploy a "point and shoot strategy" where one of them will signal your tweet and the rest will swoop in and post the most asinine stuff they can think of (definitely quantity over quality is important), boost each other, and just drown you out.

Hope this is the right community to post in, it was hard to decide.

    So, full disclosure, I'm on the Prolewiki admin team. We're a marxist-leninist encyclopedia (and strictly marxist-leninist) whose mission is to make accessible proletarian education. We have articles on marxist concepts, as well as ideologies, capitalism, people, countries, parties, etc. Basically anything one would need to know to become a marxist-leninist or get a marxist perspective on things.

    While growth has been slower than we would have liked, in 2 years of existence we have 73 registered editors (on the English instance, the most active) and around 4-5 of them do a ton of work on the wiki. We quickly surpassed Leftypedia in terms of content (before it suddenly went offline). We have 1670 articles and while many are only stubs, many others are full articles of their own. We also have a library to host texts.

    The story with the admin was that we knew about his tendencies for a while (they were pretty evident) but he was also helpful on a lot of stuff -- and he seems to have developed into them later. He went behind our back, completely blindsiding us, and so we felt we had no choice but to remove him.

        Yes MZT, but generally not Hoxhaist, Maoist, absolutely never Trot and non-Marxist.

        To us MZT is a continuation of Marxism-Leninism, specifically to the development of China.

            In "traditional" ML (which we have to specify now because of those patsocs clowns), MZT is an addition to Marxism-Leninism and Mao did not make sufficient advancements, and never claimed to make them, to move towards Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. He only wrote for China and never claimed to do anything other than MLism. This is probably not news to you and we're on the same page, but this is also the stance prolewiki takes and we try to reflect that on our pages.

            We uphold Mao as a great figure of marxism but also recognize his praxis is not universally applicable, which is I think the major difference with MLMism.

            Our article on Hoxhaism is super short: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Hoxhaism, and party filled by our one Hoxhaist user (who does good work but we had to put a moratorium on some stuff).
