Leftypedia, the socialist encyclopedia

We are a community aspiring to create an online encyclopaedia dedicated to providing a coherent platform about leftist politics.

We want to demystify what we believe to be one of the most misunderstood ideologies, either for people who believe left-wing theoretical texts are too dense to read or those who have strong opinions about it without having read anything by prominent leftist thinkers.

In short, our aim is to let the left-wing movement do the talking, and for us to expound upon it.

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!
