Ben/wiki warfare
"Wiki warfare" appears destined to be a very big thing.
The Wikipedia-style neutral point of view (NPOV) does not "scale" well in a class-divided society. The result is that an article on a political topic like "palestine" or "communism" that would be considered "neutral and objective" by most readers -- would also tend to be hard-to-read and boring. Better to have articles by individual authors (or groups) that openly "fight it out" to win attention and recognition (and links) from readers.
I will use this page to collect notes on the topic.
Already there is one issue for me: The RCP page on wikipedia. I added my political cartoon showing a naked Avakian holding hands with social-democratic supporters of the Democratic Party. Some RCP supporter removed it. I put it back. I do not have much experience in wikipedia edit wars. I guess I will see what happens. Here is the wikipedia "talk" page discussing whether my cartoon is appropriate.
