ProleWiki is a Marxist-Leninist encyclopedia. As such, we expect our prospective editors to have a good grasp on Marxist theory, and agree with our Principles. Criticism of our principles is accepted and considered thoughtfully, as long as you present them in your account request with a detailed reasoning. Defend your arguments as best as you can, they will be considered to evaluate your entry.
Due to the nature of our project, we ask these questions to evaluate the ideological consistency of those who wish to join our editorship.
Prospective editors must be familiar and experienced with Marxist theory to consider joining, everything else will be automatically rejected. People new to Marxist political thought should consider whether they will not be better suited to simply reading Prolewiki or expanding their Marxist education before creating an account
After we receive your account request, it will be submitted to the editorship to discuss and vote on. Please allow a few days for our response.
