Here’s the link to the 2007 for future reference. Most of the results that show up on Google are from Wikipedia itself (like this one) which comes with its own problems.
The biggest point to note, however, is that Wikipedia relies on third-party sources to back up their claims, and being a primarily english-speaking, west-hosted service, a lot of these sources will be sometimes biased and sometimes from authors who straight up make shit up. I found this Reddit post on r/communism from ~2yrs ago of a user who scrutinized the sources on its page for Another View of Stalin by Ludo Martens and found many anti-communist authors present.
Is there anywhere I can read more about the Wikipedia thing? Preferably more recently since the other article I can remember from Reuters is from 2007 lmao

Hi JT, love your stuff! As someone who’s getting into computer software (still early on), I wanted to ask what you or anyone else think I could do in the field to advance socialist ideals/practices. I want to focus on VR as that’s a field I’ve followed almost my whole life, and I’ve thought about using VR to maybe educate people on socialist history, like a VR movie about the Russian Revolution or an open-source social VR platform that caters to leftists. Idk though, so I’m here to learn. Thanks for reading!
