This is not Deng's entire Essay. It is a discussion, by me on a certain part of the relevant deng piece. The discussion page is about that clip + my comments.
This was incorrectly moved and edited.
Writing is one of the most effective forms of leadership AND cooperation.
The work we do here at ProleWiki is of the greatest possible importance. Each of us editors here are exercising enormous leadership that is and will be seen by thousands of comrades. Probably far more than mere thousands. With that in mind, I hope this article helps center how absolutely crucial, critical, vital and so on our collective writing efforts are. The internet is an immensely powerful tool. Amongst the mightiest yet constructed, and must be respected as such.
Keep being excellent to one another comrades, and Party on!
We can just have two pages of the Deng article Wisconcom. No need to move the pages around like this.
Further, you have messed up as my commentary was regarding a specific part of Deng's Report. This is not the whole article he write. Only the piece my article was commenting on. By deleting my piece and presenting this as the proper, entire article, you are misrepresenting Deng's writings.
I enjoyed Deng's essay a lot, and I loved the parallel between writing and ProleWiki. One of the excerpts that I think should be an useful guide to us is the following:
None of our policies, however, can take effect unless they are made known to the masses, not just to the cadres.
It is essential that our writings, whether essays or articles, are not merely bubbles within which we confine ourselves. We should make an effort to spread them, to not let them die inside this website as a wasted potential. It is the reason why we organize a Twitter account, in an effort to make some of our works known, mostly articles.
Each of us editors here are exercising enormous leadership that is and will be seen by thousands of comrades.
In respect to leadership, I think ProleWiki does not apply that much, at least not as of now. When I first conceived of creating the Essays section, I saw it as a community flourishing, sharing their ideas, which indeed happily became a reality.
Perhaps these essay writings can be an influence in respect to leadership among our editors, but this is a remote potential which I do not see materialized at this point. However, the main aspect of ProleWiki is our articles, which do not carry the authorship among the written words. I think the leadership only applies to the "pen tool" in the case of actually organizing in a party, but not here in ProleWiki
The fact that we do current events means that afaic, we are newspaper editors and theory dictionary writers. Anything that pertains to those two missions is vital to our work.
