Comrade, Prolewiki needs you!
Join prolewiki and upload books from Anna's archive to our text library, you can even make categories for reading lists etc.
prolewiki’s politburo is so strict they won’t grant editorship. I applied and got rejected for not being leftist somehow
If you got rejected you might need to rethink your approach. Prolewiki is only marginally more questions than grad and genzedong.
Most problematic i think is the idea of left communism and other deviationists as well as queer liberation issues.
Some people on here think that its okay to be trotskyist. I dont think so and i dont think prolewiki does either.
I’m not a Trotskyist or liberal revisionist. I think my application got rejected a question about LGBT+ one. I had no solid comment on that issue at that time. Got rejected and never tried to apply again.
So its not the "politbuerau" but you need to revisit your approach. Good talk. :)
Jokes aside, prolewiki is unfathomably based and has no strict perspectives whatsoever, provided someone is actually knowledgeable in ML theory.
I personally had issues with the lgbtq one as well because i live in a bourgeois dictatorship and "leftists" here are being brainwashed into culture warriors who scream into empty space instead of actually doing something useful for a change.
This is a problem because lgbtq is moralized in that space instead of theoretically sound. As a leninist queer and women liberation is necessary to liberate the class and vice versa. Defending the most oppressed is defending the class, etc.
It is especially sinister because in bourgeois leftism, defending lgbtq people is a sole purpose. You can still have chauvinist views on all others, including poc, muslim, disabled folks, etc. Lgbtq liberation is also used by bougeois dictatorships to validate imperialism and colonialism (we need to invade because they throw trans people from the roofs!). All this is impossible under marxism because it has solid roots of equality without employing western "morality". Class rule is to be eradicated at all cost. Antiimperialist action is humanist action, etc. Lgbtq and other oppressed folks are to be supported and defended.
Anyone with more theoretical knowledge correct me if I said anything wrong but I think I got it close enough.
How do you plan to approach lesser-known perspectives, such as palmistry, in your historical analysis? Will you include them, acknowledge the limitations of your knowledge, or rely on widely recognized sources to represent those viewpoints? How do you intend to determine which perspectives to include or exclude without dismissing them outright?
Oh I read history of west africa third edition vol 1 & 2 edited by J. F. Ade Ajayi and Michael Crowder - and they were a bunch of great books! I am currently also reading Nordic climate history.
Encyclopaedia Aethiopica is also massive and contains most information about ethipoia, idk if they talk about the derg. I wouldnt really count on it, since "normal" academia is fine with it.
Go on the Tinto maps forum, it has a bunch of resources for medieval/early modern regions. Some of the posters are even comrades.
Its not an easy task in general, especially for more niche materialist-focused readings. I have a bunch of pfds that you might like though.
