Marxism is subject to a lot of scrutiny, especially from Fascists and far right. Both the Far Right and the Far Left articles are locked and protected to prevent vandalism. I feel like this page probably gets a lot of that. 184.98.31.51 (talk) 06:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has pending changes enabled, which catches the vandalism. — Czello ^(music) 06:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a need to create a section on Revolutionary Marxism or does it already exist somewhere else and I can't find it? Pallikari ap' ta Sfakia 17:41, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You keep talking around the subject and never explain it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.240.42 (talk) 22:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
