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 are 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!

Why not contribute to the already established ProleWiki?
Thanks for asking that, we get that question a lot.
For one, ProleWiki follows a very narrow set of Marxist–Leninist thought. We’re mainly Marxist-orientated, but seek to allow all socialists to contribute so long as they act in good faith.
ProleWiki also doesn’t really allow original discourse as much as we do too.
We respect ProleWiki for what they are, but we understand that we have two different goals and nieces.
