A place to ask questions of Lemmygrad's best and brightest

MODERATORS
 

My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.

If you make anonymous edits, we judge them individually. It's better to make a bunch of smaller edits instead of one big one because we only have one button to accept or reject the proposed edit, so if it's a bigger one and there's just one thing we reject it for, it's basically all lost. Otherwise you can make all sorts of edits and editors will look at them as they enter a moderation queue. There's not really any limits as to what type of edits you can make, as long as everything is accompanied with a reference. And of course since we write from an ML perspective there's no need to try and be "unbiased" like wikipedia - I say that because we've had to reject some edits that were trying to be too both sidesy. There's a short guide to anon edits: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:How_to_make_anonymous_edits
