Short introduction

This information will be publicly shown in your user page. Make sure you're comfortable with sharing the information you're writing. Other editors can see your answers.

Due to the nature of our project, we ask these questions to evaluate the ideological consistency of those who wish to join our editorship.

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, as long as you present them in your account request. Defend your arguments as best as you can, they will be considered to evaluate your entry.

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.

Be detailed and elaborate as you can be in answering the questions. The more expansive an answer is the better the deliberation process regarding your application will be. A wrong answer doesn't necessarily mean rejection, do your best and don't stress
