Comrade:Ledlecreeper27/sandbox/Media sources

More languages

I am working on a way to categorize sources for ProleWiki to use. Western "fact checkers" are clearly biased in support of imperialism. Feel free to add sources or move them if they are in the wrong category. This page is for English-language sources only, but we can add other languages if we copy this page to other language instances of ProleWiki.

State media

AES

Media in AES countries run by the state or ruling party. These sources are generally reliable.

China

Cuba

Korea

Laos

Vietnam

Anti-imperialist

Media in capitalist countries that stand against Western imperialism. These sources are often useful but may be critical of socialism and/or have socially reactionary positions.

Iran

Lebanon

Russia

United States

Venezuela

Imperialist

Western media run by the capitalist state or intelligence agencies. These sources are usually unreliable, especially in relation to AES.

United Kingdom

United States

Corporate media

There is little distinction between this category and the pro-imperialist state media category as many nominally private media companies are controlled by the CIA.

Occupied Korea

United States

Alternative media

Marxist-Leninist

Sources that are unaffiliated or run by non-ruling communist parties. Generally reliable. These sources don't have to be explicitly ML if they align with anti-imperialism and are pro-AES.

Australia

Canada

China

India

Thailand

United Kingdom

United States

Asia

International

Other leftist

These sources may be useful for current events or anti-imperialism but are not recommended for analysis of AES. However, some groups, such as Hoxhaists, tend to support some former AES.

Anarchist

Hoxhaist

Maoist

Trotskyist

Anti-imperialist

Always read critically when using these sources.

Reactionary

Non-mainstream right-wing sources, including fascists and ancaps. These sources should never be used on ProleWiki.

Encyclopedia

Good for anything up to around 1979 except you need to be mindful about any topics the USSR had any revisionist spins on at this time like Stalin or Israel

  • Great Soviet Encyclopedia (download)
    • When you find an encyclopedia entry, the page will usually have multiple encyclopedias entries on the same page. Scroll down and if you see the warning for the soviet encyclopedia, you will have found the entry.
  • Great Soviet Encyclopedia - There is a menu of pages you can go through but there isn't many pages imported.

Social media

Social media is not recommended to use as a source except in articles about online subjects such as people active on these platforms. You should generally use the sources that social media posts cite instead of the social media itself. Social media sources may sometimes be necessary to cover current events but should be replaced by better sources as soon as possible.
