I found ProleWiki through Marxist online spaces (discord server) which someone shared and I became interested in late last year. I am familiar with ProleWiki’s general line, its principles, and its role as a political and educational project rather than a neutral or liberal “knowledge repository.” I love the emphasis of how 'Israel' is an occupying force and not a real country that Wikipedia refuses to see.
I am interested in contributing to: Articles on politicals and government, biographies, imperialism, and contemporary geopolitics Historical clarification of socialist states and movements Critiques of liberalism, social democracy, and idealist “left” trends Topics related to colonialism, national liberation, and anti-imperialist struggles.
I uphold Marxism-Leninism, informed by historical experience and contemporary conditions. I've also lived through these conditions in 2 cases. Ethiopia, where I was born and raised, and the United States where I live today and see the reality of this system. I initially led myself toward reformist and left-liberal positions. However, these perspectives proved incapable of explaining imperialism, the persistence of global inequality, or the coercive role of the capitalist state.
Yes. I agree with their emphasis on: Marxism-Leninism as a scientific worldview Opposition to imperialism, colonialism, and NATO-aligned narratives Rejecting liberal “neutrality” in favor of class standpoint I see ProleWiki’s principles as consistent with Marxist epistemology: knowledge is always socially situated, and pretending otherwise only reproduces ruling-class ideology. I have no major objections.
Yes. Marxists should support transgender people as part of opposing all forms of oppression that arise from and are reinforced by material social relations under capitalism.
Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong were revolutionary leaders who played decisive roles in building socialism under extremely hostile conditions. Stalin Led the USSR through rapid industrialization, collectivization, and the defeat of fascism Defended proletarian power against internal and external counter-revolution Made serious errors, but these must be understood materially and historically, not through liberal moralism. And Mao applied Marxism-Leninism to semi-feudal, semi-colonial conditions Developed the theory of protracted people’s war and mass line His contributions to anti-imperialist struggle and peasant mobilization remain significant, even while acknowledging mistakes, particularly in later campaigns.
Socialism is not a fixed model but a transitional process shaped by material conditions. These countries are doing basically what Lenin did but on a bigger and long term scale like his 'New Economic Policy.'
Settler colonialism isn’t just something that happened in the past. It’s an ongoing system where settlers occupy land permanently, push Indigenous people off it, and build a new society that dominates politically and economically.
States like the United States, Canada, Australia, and Israel are often described this way because their foundations depend on this kind of dispossession.
Decolonization can’t stop at apologies or symbolic recognition. It means acknowledging Indigenous sovereignty and land rights in concrete terms, and it requires real material restitution.
For Marxists, this also means understanding Indigenous liberation as part of the broader struggle against capitalism. Opposing chauvinism and supporting national liberation shouldn’t come at the expense of class analysis—they have to be held together.
Israel is a colonial state sustained by imperial power, especially U.S. backing. That context matters.
October 7 didn’t come out of nowhere. It has to be understood against decades of military occupation, siege, displacement, and ethnic cleansing. When people are subjected to that level of structural violence, resistance doesn’t appear randomly—it grows out of those material conditions. From my perspective, what happened was a fight for justice and Palestinian people rising up and saying no and refuse to being killed like sheep after years of brutal treatment. It's like the Gandhi Principle of Mass Suicide to Jews under Nazi Leadership to get international attention, the cause on 10/7 led to the world looking at the Palestinian People in a new light and protest and fight for them.
Dialectical materialism is a scientific method that understands reality as material, dynamic, and contradictory. Social systems develop through internal contradictions driven by material conditions, not ideas alone. It rejects metaphysics and idealism in favor of historical, relational analysis.
National liberation is essential where peoples are oppressed as nations. “Land back” is not a moral slogan but a material demand tied to sovereignty, survival, and class struggle. Without resolving colonial contradictions, socialism cannot be fully realized.
I have engaged with Marxist feminist thought that situates women’s oppression in social reproduction, unpaid labor, and property relations, rather than abstract patriarchy. Marxist feminism strengthens class analysis by exposing how capitalism relies on gendered labor.
The most pressing issue is imperialist ideology and political fragmentation, combined with weak mass organization.
Marxism is distinguished by its scientific analysis of class, state power, and historical development.
By Maoism, I do not mean a fixed historical period or a simple repetition of policies from 20th-century China. I understand Maoism as a development of Marxism-Leninism under the conditions of semi-feudal, semi-colonial societies, and as a further elaboration of revolutionary strategy in the era of imperialism.
