'''Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin''' (30 May 1814 – 1 July 1876) was a [[Russian Federation|Russian]] [[Anarchism|anarchist]] and member of the [[International Workingmen's Association|First International]].

== Political beliefs ==
Bakunin rejected the existence of the [[state]], including a [[Dictatorship of the proletariat|workers' state]]. He advocated for complete abstention from [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] politics while [[Karl Marx|Marx]] believed reforms could be useful in some cases to raise [[class consciousness]]. Bakunin believed the [[peasantry]] would lead the [[revolution]] while Marx believed the [[proletariat]] would lead it. He believed in [[revolutionary spontaneity]] and thought secret societies would start the revolution.<ref name=":0">{{Web citation|author=Ann Robertson|newspaper=[[Red Sails]]|title=The Philosophical Roots of the Marx-Bakunin Conflict (2003)|date=2022-11-27|url=https://redsails.org/the-philosophical-roots-of-the-marx-bakunin-conflict/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221127164941/https://redsails.org/the-philosophical-roots-of-the-marx-bakunin-conflict/|archive-date=2022-11-27|retrieved=2022-12-04}}</ref>

== Philosophical beliefs ==
Bakunin defined [[2022 Truckers' Protest|freedom]] as the ability of individuals to act according to one's natural impulses. He believed human nature was fixed and not developing [[Dialectics|dialectically]].<ref name=":0" />

== Antisemitism ==
Bakunin believed that [[Judaism|Jews]] controlled the banks and exploited workers.<ref>{{Citation|author=Mikhail Bakunin|year=1871|title=Bakunin on Marx and Rothschild|title-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220122075442/http://marx.libcom.org/library/bakunin-marx-rothschild|quote=The [[Marxism|Communism of Marx]] seeks enormous centralization in the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state [[bank]], and where such a bank exists, the parasitic [[Jewish]] nation, which speculates on the work of the people, will always find a way to prevail.}}</ref> Bakunin repeats the false [[ABC theory]] of Jewish conspiracy against the proletariat and in his own words wrote:<blockquote>As you know, for more than two years, since the last Congress of the International held in Basle in September 1869, I have become the object of the most foolish and odious calumnies of the Socialist press in Germany, as well as in the organ of the Geneva Federation. the organ of the Geneva Federation, "L'Egalité", a paper which, after having been the serious representative of a serious socialism, fell into the hands of a little Russian Jew, a shameless liar and schemer if ever there was one.

It was a kind of unrestrained conspiracy, and to tell the truth, a dirty conspiracy of German and Russian Jews against me.<ref>{{Citation|author=Mikhail Bakunin|year=1872|title=To the Companions of the Federation of International Sections of Jura|title-url=https://libcom.org/article/translation-antisemitic-section-bakunins-letter-comrades-jura-federation}}</ref></blockquote>This is proved false by [[Vladimir Lenin]]:<blockquote>It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.<ref>{{Citation|author=Vladimir Lenin|year=1919|title=Anti-Jewish Pogroms|title-url=https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:Anti-Jewish_Pogroms}}</ref></blockquote>

== Early life ==
Rand's father owned a pharmacy in [[Saint Petersburg|Petrograd]], which was nationalized after the [[Russian revolution of 1917|Russian Revolution]]. She became an [[Atheism|atheist]] as a teenager studied history at the University of Petrograd, where she read [[Fyodor Dostoevsky|Dostoevsky]], [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzsche]], and [[Friedrich Schiller|Schiller]]. She admired Nietzsche's concept of an ''Übermensch'' (superhuman).

== Early works ==
Rand wrote her first novel, ''The Fountainhead'', in 1943, which is about a genius architect who blows up a housing complex that he designed after another architect made changes to its design. In 1950, Rand moved to New York.<ref name=":0" />

== Objectivism ==
In the 1950s, Rand wrote her most famous novel, ''Atlas Shrugged''.

She believed that individuals must exist for their own sake and pursue their own self-interest.<ref name=":0" />

== Political views ==
Rand supported [[laissez-faire]] [[capitalism]] and believed that the [[state]] should be completely separate from the economy. She generally sympathized with [[Austrian economics|Austrian economists]] such as [[Hayek]] and [[Ludwig von Mises|Mises]] but criticized their [[utilitarianism]], which she believed could be used to defend [[socialism]].<ref name=":0" />

'''Leftypedia''' is an online collaborative encyclopedia that inspired the creation of [[ProleWiki]].

== History ==
Leftypedia originated in 2019 with the purpose of safeguarding content from [[Marxistpedia]] following its shutdown. Initially hosted at the leftypedia.org domain, the site was taken down in July 2022. However, it was subsequently revived under the wiki.leftypol.org domain later that year.

=== Edit wars ===
Between February and August 2023, administrator Harrystein banned several alt accounts of [[Comrade:Wisconcom|Wisconcom]].<ref name=":1">{{Web citation|newspaper=Leftypedia|title=Blocked users|url=https://wiki.leftypol.org/wiki/Special:BlockList|retrieved=2024-06-18}}</ref>

Discomrade, who had been blocked but not removed from administrator roles, was able to unban themself and temporarily restore admin powers to Harrystein and Capuch1n, allowing Harrystein to permanently ban Aussig and RedParabola, restore the formerly deleted pages, and unblock other users banned during the coup attempt.<ref name=":3">{{Web citation|newspaper=Leftypedia|title=All public logs|url=https://wiki.leftypol.org/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=&user=&offset=&limit=100|retrieved=2024-06-19}}</ref> In a statement after the incident, Harrystein stated that RedParabola was likely an alt account of Wisconcom.<ref name=":2" />

=== 2024 shutdown and second revival on Miraheze ===
In September 2024, wiki.leftypol.org went down for a prolonged period of time for the second time in its history, making Leftypedia inaccessible.

However in October 2024 it came back on Miraheze.

== Comparison to ProleWiki ==
The primary difference between ProleWiki and Leftypedia is that Leftypedia sought to be a big tent, "[[Left unity|catch-all leftist]]" encyclopedia,<ref name=":0" /> whereas ProleWiki expressly follows the line of [[scientific socialism]] and Marxism-Leninism. Without an emphasis on scientific socialism, one runs the risk of supporting [[Imperialism|imperialist]] propaganda against [[Socialist state|socialist states]], due to allowing multiple tendencies definitions' of imperialism which may contradict one another. This was attempted by ProleWiki with other Marxist currents in its very early days, and ultimately led to endless debates in private internal chats that negatively impacted the output of content on pages.

Another difference is that Leftypedia was only available in English while ProleWiki has instances in several other languages in the spirit of [[proletarian internationalism]].

Communist Party of India (Marxist)

2024-10-14T01:57:05Z

72.94.190.57: RIP Sitaram Yechury

{{Infobox political party|name=Communist Party of India (Marxist)|native_name=भारतीय कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (मार्क्सवादी)|logo=CPI(M) logo.png|founded=7 November 1964|abbreviation=CPI(M)|general_secretary=Vacant|newspaper=People's Democracy • Ganashakti • Deshabhimani • Loklaher • Desher Katha • Prajashakti • Marxist • Theekkathir|student_wing=Students' Federation of India (4 million members)|youth_wing=Democractic Youth Federation of India|womens_wing=All-India Democratic Women's Association|political_orientation=[[Scientific socialism]]|website=https://cpim.org/}}

The '''Communist Party of India (Marxist)''' ('''CPI(M)''') is the largest of the several communist parties in India with over a million members in 2018 along with many more in its front organizations, having held power at state governments in West Bengal, [[Kerala]] and Tripura along with being a party of nationwide repute. In its constitution, it calls itself a revolutionary party guided by the principles of [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxism-Leninism]].<ref>https://cpim.org/party-constitution</ref>

== History ==

=== Predecessors ===
The undivided [[Communist Party of India]] was founded by a small group of Indian revolutionaries in exile in Tashkent in 1920, who were inspired by the ideas of the [[Russian revolution of 1917|Russian Revolution]]. In its formative years, the party withstood the brunt of [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] repression with a number of conspiracy cases hurled against them in Peshawar (1922), Meerut (1923) and Kanpur (1929). A number of revolts against the [[British Raj (1858–1947)|colonial government]] were either led or inspired by the communists - the Punappra Vayalar rebellion, the North Malabar rising, the Tebhaga movement, the Warli adivasi revolt and the historic Telangana struggle.<ref>https://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/archive/Telangana.pdf</ref>

The CPI came to power in the state government of Kerala for the first time in 1957. Due to the social changes brought by the Left Front government, the Centre imposed President's rule upon the state in 1959.

=== Split from CPI ===
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) was formed in 1964 as a result of a prolonged struggle against [[Nikita Khrushchev|Khruschevite]] [[revisionism]] and [[Maoism|Maoist]] [[dogmatism]].<ref>https://cpim.org/party-programme</ref> The CPI(M) said it could learn very little from the Russian and Chinese revolutions and believed an Indian revolution would be very different from previous communist revolutions.<ref name=":022">{{Citation|author=[[Vijay Prashad]]|year=2017|title=Red Star over the Third World|chapter=Polycentric Communism|page=118|pdf=https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/bafykbzacecu7gb2ei65us6ip3r2ugcgkblneqcftbm456mb6bzvprkbqk55qm?filename=Vijay%20Prashad%20-%20Red%20Star%20Over%20the%20Third%20World-LeftWord%20Books%20%282018%29.pdf|city=New Delhi|publisher=LeftWord Books}}</ref> The CPI(M) led Left Front won the electorate over West Bengal in 1974, after which over three decades of Left Front rule were to follow.

== Controversies ==

=== Anarchist positions ===

In 2019, Luna Oi claimed that what she really wanted was [[anarchism]], with "[Marxism-Leninism] during the revolution time".<ref>{{Web citation|url=https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1162553955039137793|title=Luna Oi claiming that she wants Anarchism|author=@LunaOi_VN (Luna Oi)|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20211009222319/https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1162553955039137793|archive-date=2021-10-09T22:23:19}}</ref>

=== Vietnamese nationalism ===

Luna Oi has promoted a number of views that have characterized by some as overly-nationalistic and frequently denounced accusations against Vietnam. This includes defending the Vietnamese occupation of [[Democratic Kampuchea (1975–1979)|Cambodia]] and calling it necessary.<ref>{{Web citation|url=https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1613661614816772097|title=Luna Oi defending the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia.|author=Luna Oi|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230113003848/https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1613661614816772097|archive-date=2023-01-13T00:38:48}}</ref> Luna Oi also called [[Deng Xiaoping]] a monster after repeating Western propaganda surrounding the [[1989 Tian'anmen Square riots]].<ref>{{Web citation|url=https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1187774578921070592|title=Luna Oi calling Deng a monster|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20191025225705/https://twitter.com/LunaOi_VN/status/1187774578921070592|archive-date=2019-10-25T22:57:05|author=Luna Oi|quote=My high school history teacher told us about Tiananmen.

All the "justification" for it is just quibble. I hope everyone, even the Dengists, have to admit that. Deng was monster and he knew it, he chose to do it.}}</ref>

'''Earl Russell Browder''' (May 20, 1891 – June 27, 1973) was a Statesian political activist who served as General Secretary of the CPUSA from 1930 until 1945, when he was purged for his [[Revisionism|revisionist]] beliefs. He failed to understand the differences between [[Bourgeois democracy|bourgeois]] and [[proletarian democracy]] and saw [[socialism]] as an extension of the traditions of [[George Washington]], [[Thomas Jefferson]], and [[Andrew Jackson]],<ref name=":1">{{Citation|author=[[William Z.

== Political career ==

=== Great Depression ===
Browder supported [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]] during the [[Great Depression]].<ref name=":0">{{Citation|author=William Z. Foster|year=1952|title=History of the Communist Party of the United States|title-url=http://williamzfoster.blogspot.com/|chapter=Early Struggles Under the New Deal (1933-1936)|chapter-url=http://williamzfoster.blogspot.com/2013/01/chapter-twenty-one-early-struggles.html}}</ref> He ran for [[President of the United States|President]] with [[James Ford]] in 1936 and received roughly 80,000 votes.<ref name=":1" /> He did not consider Roosevelt's interventions in [[Latin America]] under the [[Good Neighbor policy]] to be [[Imperialism|imperialist]].<ref>{{Citation|author=William Z. Foster|year=1952|title=History of the Communist Party of the United States|title-url=http://williamzfoster.blogspot.com/|chapter=The Good Neighbor Policy (1933-1941)|chapter-url=http://williamzfoster.blogspot.com/2013/01/chapter-twenty-five-good-neighbor.html}}</ref>

=== Second World War ===
Browder was arrested in the fall of 1939 for passport violations and was sentenced to prison in March 1941. Roosevelt released him one year later under mass pressure.<ref>{{Citation|author=William Z.

During the [[Second World War]], Browder believed that the USA and [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|UK]] would become allies with the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)|Soviet Union]] because they fought together against [[German Reich (1933–1945)|Germany]]. He also called for national unity with the U.S. [[bourgeoisie]] during the war and believed the temporary alliance between [[Chiang Kai-shek]] and the [[Communist Party of China|CPC]] against [[Empire of Japan (1868–1947)|Japan]] would lead to a long-term unity government.<ref>{{Citation|author=William Z.
