Conservapedia is a far-right Christian extremist hoax website posing as an "encyclopedia." It was created in 2006 by Statesian conservative Andrew Schlafly (son of Phyllis Schlafly) who believed that Wikipedia was too left-leaning,[1] despite the encyclopedia already being a reactionary hive of imperialist misinformation.[2][3][4][5] Although it claims to oppose liberalism, it confuses this term with leftism[6] and actually supports neoliberalism.[7]
Misinformation[edit | edit source]
United States[edit | edit source]
According to Conservapedia, the Statesian Democratic Party is a "leftwing fascist totalitarian organization" which supports socialism, democratic socialism, communism, Neo-Nazism, authoritarianism all at once.[8] The social-democratic politician Bernie Sanders is called a "Marxist–Leninist" and accused of calling for the "extermination and genocide of infants from the Third World" (in reference to his calls for more birth control access).[9] Furthermore, they claim that Hollywood pushes a "homosexual agenda," that is "destroying the fabric of American culture," that it is sympathetic to communism, and criticise it for lacking their hardline Christian ideas.[10]
Conservapedia believes that from 2021 to 2025, the United States of America was under a military junta ("Biden-Harris junta") headed by fascist-Nazi-communist dictator Joe Biden, who gained power after the 2021 "Biden Putsch", which they think included the 2021 capital coup attempt, however, they claim that it was "staged," and really done by "leftists."[11] It also claims that in 2022, a "Satanic portal" opened above the White House.[12]

Conservapedia denies climate change[13] and evolution.[14] They believe the myth that video games cause gun violence[citation needed] (in reality, crime results from capitalism-induced poverty and desperation).
According to Conservapedia, communism (which they fail to understand is a economic system, not a political one) and socialism (which they falsely define as a economic system where a "bureaucratic elite" controls the economy) are both "failed" systems. However, Conservapedia nonetheless appears to claim that nearly every political organization in the west that is not far-right is either "socialist" or "communist." Furthermore, Conservapedia claims that socialism has been "tried" in the UK, India, and Israel, but "failed."[15] They also claim that the European Union's purpose is to subject Western Europe to Marxist-Leninist/"Marxist-Trotskyist" thought.[16]
While Conservapedia calls nearly everybody who is even slightly less reactionary and hateful than them "far-left," Conservapedia also claims that the term "far-right" was developed as a conspiracy by Joseph Stalin and the "Frankfurt School."[17]
Conservapedia's stance on United States imperialism appears entirely partisan: the invasion of Libya under Barack Obama (a Democrat) is condemned, while the invasion of Iraq under George W. Bush (a Republican) is defended.[18] The website supports Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation, not because they play a positive role against imperialism, but because of Russia's socially conservative policies (such as the so-called "Gay Propaganda Law").[1][6] In fact, Conservapedia denies the existence of the Ukrainian nation.[19] Conservapedia is also ardently Zionist and defends the actions of "Israel" frequently; in their discussion of the 2023 Israel-Gaza War, they repeat atrocity propaganda about Hamas supposedly beheading babies.[20]
Though it correctly claims that National Socialism "does not seek to abolish capitalism," Conservapedia still classifies National Socialism as a "far-left" ideology. It also claims that the People's Republic of China under Xi Jinping is an example of National Socialism.[21] Despite claiming to be against Nazism, it openly supports the dictatorship of Francisco Franco in Spain, which was backed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.[22][23]

- ↑ “Usage of terms like "right wing", "far right", and "ultra-right" by liberals about conservatives is usually intended to conjure up images of fascism and Nazi genocide (though any objective interpretation of the left-right political spectrum would reveal that the fascist regimes of WWII Europe were closer to the left-wing than to the right-wing). Indeed, some critics openly liken Israel and its leaders to "Nazis", even though Israel is the most democratic country in the entire Middle East. The misapplication of the right wing and far right to that of the Nazis is due to Josef Stalin stating after World War II that Nazis and fascism were "far right" or "right wing" both to paint truly right-wing organizations in a negative light and to deflect any blame from the Soviets regarding similar actions they may have conducted, as well as the Frankfurt School taking advantage of the post-war attempt by the American Jewish Committee to research the events of Nazism to prevent it from coming back to mislead people per their Marxist agenda.”

It should be noted, many extreme leftists in the United States vehemently opposed the establishment of a parliament democracy in Iraq and supported Iraqi fascism.

By contrast, the Obama administration, Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power secured a U.N. Resolution to establish a No-fly zone during the Libyan uprising.
The results were catastrophic: (1) slave markets were set up in the new regime Clinton and Obama created; (2) a tide of three million displaced persons invaded Europe; (3) a breakdown in international Superpower relations as Russia and China vowed to never trust American leaders' promises and assurances again.”
