Hello

I'm a Jewish Marxist from Western Europe. I have been a student of Marxism-Leninism since 2013, when I was a 15-year-old teenager, and am now 25 years old. Aside from Marxism my hobbies are fiction writing, mainly fantasy, hyperfixating on music and videogames. I am also admin of a fairly large fandom-related Discord server which takes up some of my time.

Wiki experience

I joined ProleWiki in 2021. As somebody with a good understanding of MediaWiki, I hope to help out this project on the MW technical side of things as well as trying to help as a regular editor.

In 2015, I was involved in something of a spiritual precursor to ProleWiki called "Prolepedia". Unfortunately, "Prolepedia" did not survive very long, due to clashing ideological lines causing infighting within the project; as a result of that experience, I now firmly believe that the only way this project can survive is by taking a firm stance against so-called "maoists", "anti-revisionists", trotskyites and other ultras and anti-communist "tendencies" like social-chauvinist settler communists.

IRL organizing

I have been on-and-off affiliated with communist orgs within my country, and spent some time going to protests and all that jazz. However, due to my serious disagreement with many of their ideological lines I am no longer a member of any org as of 2023. I also pretty much believe that the European and Euro-settler countries will have to take a backseat in the global struggle against imperialism regardless, so there is little for any of them to meaningfully accomplish right now, and as a result I think my efforts are really better spent helping educate younger Marxists from all over the globe, including helping with intitiatives like ProleWiki.

-Hey, there, I'm an Ashkenazi Jewish Marxist-Leninist from Western Europe. I've been a student of Marxist theory since around 2013, when I was a teenager, and I was involved in a spiritual precursor to ProleWiki called "Prolepedia" in 2015. Unfortunately, Prolepedia did not last very long, due mainly to clashing ideological lines; as a result, I firmly believe that the only way this type of project can survive is by taking a firm stance against so-called "maoists", "anti-revisionists", trotskyites and other ultras and anti-communist "tendencies". As someone who has been active in Marxist-Leninist spaces for almost a decade now, I have seen enough to take such a firm stance myself; in my view, being anti-China betrays a fundamentally lacking grasp of dialectics.

-As far as communist history goes, I'm mainly knowledgeable on Cuba, but in recent years I've also been studying the history of China, in light of its increasingly global role as a socialist superpower.
