Welcome to Leftypedia!

   The radical encyclopedia

---

Leftypedia is an aspiring online encyclopaedia dedicated to providing a coherent platform about leftist politics. We want to demystify what we believe to be one of the most misunderstood ideologies, either for people who believe left-wing theoretical texts are too dense to read or those who have strong opinions about it without having read anything by prominent leftist thinkers. We hope to provide explanations that are readily comprehensible and for our knowledge to grow as you become a part of it. In short, our aim is to let the left-wing movement do the talking, and for us to expound upon it.

Sorted alphabetically, but clearly shows how many redirects exist for each page. Wanted pages: Non-existent articles that are being linked to most often.
