Leftypedia — The Radical Encyclopedia

One of our comrades made a great essay and we have it available on Leftypedia. Come check it out!

Content portals are places where you can find a general summary of content. This is a great place for you to start out as a new editor.

We plan on making more content portals in the near-future (one for anarchism, Maoism, etc.) so editors can find content which interests them in an easier way.

We've just held the first meeting of our study group! We read Principles of Communism, and had a great time discussing it after completing it.

We invite everybody to join our Discord server and make suggestions for what we should read next!

As part of our internationalist duty, we want to help spread socialism to workers of all countries, even if they speak different languages.

One of our new editors, Offl1ne, is helping to translate many of our important articles into non-English languages. This is very important. And we hope to expand these efforts to increase the reach of socialist theory and education.

Are you fluent in a non-English language and would like to contribute? If so, we invite you to create an account and help translate Leftypedia into different languages.

We're proud to announce that Leftypedia's community is starting a study group for socialist theory!

We're currently focused on basic Marxist and communist works, but will move on to other topics and more advance books later.

Our first book to study will be Principles of Communism, by Marx and Engels.

Everybody is welcome to join in. It will be held in our Discord server. Mention we're here for the study group and we'll let you in.

I'm Harry, one of the moderators and contributors at Leftypedia. I'll be helping moderate this community as well as both spaces continue to grow.

An obvious part of leftist politics is current events. Leftists can take sides on them, and often times these change rapidly as the situation on-the-ground escalates.

As a socialist encyclopedia, we have a duty to keep up with these changes and ensure they're presented in a relevant way to our readers.

In the example I'm bringing up here, our article on the Israel–Gaza war, we hear daily on new developments, atrocities, changes in the front-lines, etc.

But we admittedly are still a small editorial team, and even the sources which we use on current events like Unicorn Riot have trouble keeping up!

So what's the best thing we can do? Expand our base of contributors who all hear from different media sources! With your help, we can cast a wider net on sources and information.

Help ensure we keep up-to-date on these events today, sign up and contribute!

We are Leftypedia, a socialist and left-wing online encyclopedia.

If you're a leftist of any kind or considering becoming one, you've probably found truthful information about socialist ideologies and movements from websites like Wikipedia lacking at best.

These days, genuine leftist ideology can be hard to get into and learn about, between the toxic culture that dominates online leftist spaces and the many issues faced by even offline socialist organizations. Reading theory-dense works from Marx can be hard at first, and the easily-accessible guides targeted at beginners often don't even understand the work their talking about themselves!

So, what's the solution?

A dedicated socialist resource, like Leftypedia.

We aspire for new leftists to be given an environment where original discourse is encouraged on top of sourced and informative encyclopedic articles

Since our beginning in 2019, we have hundreds of articles, dozens of editors, and a growing community and base of content.

We're well on our way of reaching our goals, and welcome any leftist or incoming-leftist to view and editor our articles, carry out original discourse, and so on!
