Wikipedia, representing the point of view of liberalism and the monopoly media, is avidly opposed to communist and socialist ideology, history, and individuals. Wikipedia presents most socialist states as "totalitarian" or "authoritarian" and denies their democratic character.
Historical revisionism
Totalitarianism
Wikipedia labels the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and other socialist states as "totalitarian".[1]
Misinformation
"Stalinism"
Wikipedia effectively considers "Stalinism" (a term popularized by Trotskyites) a separate ideology from Marxism–Leninism and label various revisionist figures such as Nicolae Ceaușescu "Stalinist". Wikipedia even includes the neo-fascist National Bolshevik Party in Russia as a "Stalinist" organization.[2]
"Maoism"
Wikipedia erroneously labels Mao Zedong Thought "Maoism"[3] and considers Marxism–Leninism–Maoism a separate concept which is merely used by a small fraction of communist groups, despite it being the highest and most advanced stage of Marxism and seeing wide adoption.[4]
Sourcing
Wikipedia employs the discredited Black Book of Communism as a major source in its article "Mass killings under communist regimes".[5]
