1. My memory isn't the best, but I think I recall it being mentioned on Reddit.

2. I am a budding Marxist-Leninist, having begun my ideological transition from liberalism in late 2022. Before then there was some embryonic anticapitalist ideas running in my head that were triggered by watching a video essay about the 1999 leftist video game The Silver Case, by the YouTuber Mackerel Phones. The video was primarily focused on police brutality and how the police ultimately only serve the ruling class. It made me begin questioning the nature of the capitalist society I grew up in. Ironically enough, it was watching some videos by the UltraLeft youtuber Cuck Philosophy that would ultimately be the thing that pushed me to reject capitalism outright and become a communist. His ultraleft tendencies ended up going over my head due to my lack of knowledge regarding communist tendencies back then, the fact that the videos from him that I watched at the time frequently expressed (what would seem to be from an outsider or newbie's point of view) nonspecific Marxist talking points, and me being a little slow on the uptake in general.

After becoming an anti-capitalist I went onto leftist subreddits to learn more about Marxism and I would end up being exposed to Marxist-Leninism first before the ultralefts could get to me. I feel lucky and somewhat relieved to have experienced such a simple political evolution, since I heard that a lot of MLs initially stumble through many ideologies before becoming an ML.

3. I have no objections to the principles of ProleWiki. One thing about said principles I am in appreciative agreement of is the insistence on opposing oppression, being a member of some marginalized groups myself. I'm glad that the people of ProleWiki can recognize the struggles of the marginalized and can tell it apart from the liberal cooption of said struggles, unlike some other characters I have encountered in online leftist circles. I also admire the various goals listed on the principles page, particularly in regards to collective ownership and transparency.

4. I see gender as a social construct that society imposes on people based on birth sex, which is used to try to control their goals and self-expression. The concept of gender has been used by all ruling classes throughout history as a means of subjugating and creating social schisms within the ruled-upon classes.

Being LGBT myself, I of course would prefer that all Marxists would be supportive towards the idea of LGBT people having the same amount of freedom as everyone else in a classless society. On the other hand I understand and can accept the reluctance or even resistance towards queer liberation from Marxist-Leninist parties and states in the imperial periphery as homosexuality in particular often has a deep rooted cultural baggage in those countries, either due to long standing cultural traditions or having a connotation with "being a western concept". To expect all Marxists under these conditions to immediately become accepting of people like me overnight just because I would prefer it would be idealism.

However this is also why I am particularly happy whenever I hear news about progress, however small it may be, occurring in AES states.

4. I would like to contribute to adding more information to articles about websites, online spaces, and the various people covered on ProleWiki, since those articles interest me the most. I would also like to make a lot of small "janitorial" edits across the entire wiki on pages concerning all different kinds of subjects, such as adding missing categories to pages, adding redirects, adding and filling out infoboxes, and fixing spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.

5. A feature I would like to see added is a page that is a master list of all of the templates for easy access. Equivalent pages for listing infoboxes and userboxes would also be appreciated. I also think it would be good if links to said pages were listed in the "Tools" section of the left part of the interface, where the "Upload file" button also is.

6. One page I would like to make changes to is the Noam Chomsky one. I would move the pdf link in the "See Also" to a new section titled "External Links" and add links to our articles on the compatible left and left-wing anticommunism in its place. I would also fill out the infobox on the page with more information, including his political ideologies, which all have seemingly been crammed into the opening sentence.

8. The text most seminal in determining my stance of being a proponent of Marxist feminism early on in my life as a communist was the self proclaimed "Socialist, Feminist, and Transgender Analysis of “Sex Work”" published by the Medium account known as "Proletarian Feminist". It is partly a first person account of the author's exploitation which occurred when she had her body sold to men as apart of the sex trade, and primarily a detailed and historically materialist rationale for why all Marxists should advocate for the abolishment of prostitution, highlighting its inherently sexually violent nature and explaining the sex trade's origin within the slavery mode of production.

Overall my experiences with Marxist feminism have been positive and it's done wonders in educating me on intersectionality.

12. The Palestinians should have all their land back since Israel is a settler-colonial state. It's as simple as that. And as soon as the Palestinians get it back the fate of any colonizers still alive and the way they handle the decolonization process should solely be determined by them and only them.
