Revolupedia is an online communist encyclopedia dedicated to disseminating revolutionary theory and ideology to the working class. We seek to provide information on historical and current events, revolutionary movements, ideas, theory, practice, and much more in order to inform revolutionary activists and those who aspire to be. We currently maintain a library of Marxist texts and 1,869 articles with more to come!
We have migrated to a new domain at revolupedia.net from our previous one at revolupedia.org.

Revolupedia, one of the first online Marxist–Leninist encyclopedias, has been founded and work on its first entries has commenced! Please join our Discord server for further information.
The foundations of Marxism–Leninism were created with the theoretical contributions of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century, who developed what is known as Marxism through their analysis of human society and its features. Marxism–Leninism was brought to a higher stage with the contributions provided by Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, including developing an understanding of imperialism, socialist construction, and the tactics and strategy for the working class and its vanguard party. Marxism–Leninism was successfully applied during the Great October Socialist Revolution and the construction of socialism in the Soviet Union, among the first socialist states in history.
Foundations of Leninism is a book by Joseph Stalin, which describes the theory and tactics of Marxism–Leninism. It does not explain the underlying Marxist principles, but specifically the new developments of Marxism–Leninism. Stalin denies that Marxism–Leninism is a purely Russian phenomenon or just the application of Marxism to Russian conditions, instead explains how Leninism is the response of the proletarian movement to imperialism, which hadn't yet developed in Marx's and Engels' time.
