I'm looking for a resource online along the lines of the massive Anarchist FAQ that outlines the general position of Marxism and its subtendencies. I want to have both sets of FAQs to recommend to individuals interested in socialism.

Does anyone know of the existence of such a document or of a similar-type document that is relatively comprehensive?

There isn't otherwise one in the same vein as the Anarchist FAQ AFAIK.

Marxism is much too complex, Marx's writings lending themselves to too many contradictory interpretations and developing too much over his career, Marxist secondary literature being too hotly disputed - to have an even remotely acceptable "Marxist FAQ." Asking for a Marxist FAQ is a bit like asking for an FAQ of Social Science.

I'm not trying to be a dick but... The Communist Manifesto? Did Engels not write a short F.A.Q or summary?

It might be a good idea to try and create one. revLeft has a wiki. (http://www.revleft.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)
