Wikipedia's Communism Page

[Rafiq]

I must say... I am impressed!

I would like to give an honor to the comrade that wrote all of that. Sure it may not be perfect, but wow, it's actually pretty decent.

[Rusty Shackleford]

you know what, it actually isnt too bad.

[o well this is ok I guess]

You're on Wikipedia, comrade.
The people wrote it!

[TheGodlessUtopian]

I find wikipedia to be decent in many subjects.

In fact,as odd as it sounds,reading their page on fascism is what helped me understand Trotsky's Fascism:What it is and How to Fight It.

Many of the historical facts regarding said ideology helped put the time of writing into perspective.I also learned that the original fascists were anti-religious.

The page on communism is good,but I think it could provide some more detail.

Wikipedia is liberal, communist, socialist, anarchist and all sorts of things.

Read the first 3 paragraphs and it's terrible, openly contradicts itself in the second paragraph and is wrong several times got bored after that...

You do realise Wikipedia is a non-profit organisation that runs entirely on donations, right?

the people who write it aren't even members of the organization either

Communism is a left-wing materialistic and violently atheistic ideology created to justify the overthrow of Capitalism, replacing free market economics and democracy with a "dictatorship of the proletariat". Under Communism, the political system replaces the private ownership of the means of production with "collective ownership" of the economy, this is to be accomplished through direct "democratic" control by the workers.[1] Twentieth century Communism was based on Karl Marx's manifesto which proposed to establishment of a "classless society." However, all Communist societies have had a class structure, notably the USSR, which was dominated by a self appointed Nomenklatura.

Oh yeah, this place is hilarious. My emphasis.




In America, socialism is bent on removing individual freedoms and placing the government in charge of our lives. The global warming issue is an important strategy for the advancement of socialism, under the guise of saving the Earth.

US intelligence reports implicated Allende in the assassination of several opponents,while KGB files smuggled out of Russia by Vasily Mitrokhin indicate that Allende received funds from the Soviet Union. Allende was formally condemned by Chile's parliament for systematically destroying democracy in Chile. The Chilean Chamber of Deputies Resolution of August 22, 1973, accused Allende of support of armed groups, torture, illegal arrests, muzzling the press, confiscating private property, and not allowing people to leave the country. In the infamous "Cuban Packages Scandal" that precipitated the coup, large quantities of weapons were sent from Castro's Cuba to arm pro-Allende terrorists in Chile.





Ernesto "Che" Guevara (b. June 14, 1928, executed October 9th, 1967) was a sadistic Marxist guerrilla leader, with Fidel Castro during the Cuban "Rob"olution and became a cultural icon for liberals, leftists, socialists, communists, illegal aliens, and white "hipsters". The photogenic "Ernesto Guevara failed spectacularly at everything he attempted in his life--except at the mass-murder of defenseless men and boys." Despite being an terrorist, his image is still used as leftist propaganda which adorns millions of t-shirts and dorm room posters.
In the words of one of his former political prisoners, "There was something seriously wrong with Che Guevera"

Guevara was the eldest of five children born in Rosario, Argentina. His schoolmates nicknamed him "pig" (Chancho) because he rarely bathed, and smelled bad. He also enjoyed enjoyed killing dogs (a trait common among psychopaths). He flunked out of medical school, never got his diploma, and still was chosen to be the medic for Fidel Castro's so called "revolution". The real Che was a "revolutionary Ringo Starr" who "fell in with the right bunch and rode their coattails to world fame."





The episode tainted the American labor unions with violent radicalism. In fact the unions were not violent; it was a matter of a small anarchist cell which had no members involved in the actual strike seizing the moment to try to destroy capitalism, but instead wounding the labor movement.





Today, the radical un-patriotic IWW still attempts to undermine American businesses by agitating their employees around grievances. For example, in New York City and elsewhere, IWW agitators have successfully created a "union" of Starbucks employees in an effort to bring the Starbucks company to its knees. Additionally, open-border pro-Mexican IWW's have caused trouble for Jimmy John's sandwich company. Having started a Jimmy John's workers "union" in Minneapolis, IWWs insist on attacking Jimmy John's for its support of conservative values, such as Arizona's courageous new law against illegals.





The claims that Islam had a remarkable golden age are often exaggerated, and are not well supported by physical evidence.

Regarding Arab contributions to the arts and sciences, O'Neill relates that much of what was transmitted from the Arabs was learned from the cultures they subjugated, not really discovered by their own, often illiterate nomad people:


It goes on. And on. And on. Forever.

You do realise Wikipedia is a non-profit organisation that runs entirely on donations, right? It is still fundamentally based upon the Western capitalist status quo, for example the site's founder Jimmy Wales is a self-avowed objectivist and the site tends towards the idea that the United States is working to bring democracy to the world. A vastly superior site for political and social information is EcuRed (http://www.ecured.cu/index.php/EcuRed:Enciclopedia_cubana).

Is there anyway to switch EcuRed to English? I can't seem to find it and I would like to read some of their articles.

I'd personally like to thank you on behalf of what I presume to be the majority of revlefters who don't actually speak spanish, for giving us access to this wonderful Cuba-centric resource. Really.

It is, fortunately.

To be fair, they've cited far worse sources in the past.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

True. Very true...images come to mind of all the "Third-Positionist" resources they have undoubtedly cited in the past.

The founder is 100% serious. 98% of the contributors aren't.

People, especially from the left-wing have gotten their articles deleted several times by the administration. Whether it is non-profit or run-by-profit don't play a rule. There is more administration there than on RevLeft.

[Smyg]

Articles are deleted for other reasons that which particular ideology the original author subscribes to - at least that's my belief, until you prove otherwise. Wikipedia is very rigid about what to include and what not to.
