Thank you for wanting to help improve ProleWiki!

Before you can edit though, we require you to request an account as only registered users can edit pages. ProleWiki could not exist without our many volunteer editors, and we hope that you will soon be able to join our team!


Why do I need an account to edit?

We want to make sure the information published on ProleWiki is truthful, authoritative and representative of Marxism-Leninism. As such, we put this system in place to ensure our editors are knowledgeable on Marxism before they can freely edit pages.

Once your account is approved, you will be able to start editing pages, adding works to the library, writing and publishing your essays, or even get in touch with the administrators to start or participate in an adjacent project (such as social media work, web development... whatever you can think of)!

We have many plans for the future at ProleWiki that go beyond simply being a wiki, and

Why join ProleWiki?

ProleWiki is a serious encyclopedia with many goals and objectives. Our collective work benefits our project and worldwide proletarian education as a whole; nobody financially benefits personally from working on ProleWiki.

We are principled and disciplined Marxist-Leninists with strong stances. We are unapologetic in supporting developing dictatorships of the proletariat in China, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba and the DPRK. We take a clear stance on anti-imperialism, and we reject revisionist Marxist tendencies such as Trotskyism, Maoism or Hoxhaism.

Moreover, we are steadily furthering the application of democratic centralism on the project every day. As an editor, you will -- after enough quality edits and activity on the wiki -- get the right to vote on new account requests and the allocation of our excess funds. You will also be able to propose projects and plans of your own to help grow Prolewiki.

With that said, we do not have quotas or expect editors to participate on ProleWiki more than their life permits: from each according to their abilities. Once your account is approved by our editorship, you can participate on the project as much or as little as you're able to.

ProleWiki is bigger than any one editor, and we have many plans for the future that we can only realize with your help, comrade! It is unalienated labour in its purest form under capitalism: labour that benefits the collective, and in which you work not for a boss, but for your comrades.
