Re: Template:Communism sidebar
Have you read the RfC comments made on the talk page? All of the comments agree with my position - that in order to preserve NPOV on this template, prominent communist leaders such as Stalin and Ho Chi Minh must be included. You cannot just keep reverting the template, disregarding consensus, Wikipedia policies, and simple logic. Just because you're a Marxist, it doesn't mean that you own this template. The views of others must be included as well, and in this case, most people consider Stalin to be a communist. If you still disagree with me, are you willing to make a request for mediation?

 * It doesn't mean to change the jpg, to put "leninism" in basic concepts, to delete some communists schools and all the communist organizations ! I try a complete version, with no deletion (except what's just absurd). --Inbloom2 11:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not worried about the jpg, or whether leninism is in basic concepts or not. I'm just happy to see that you're including Stalin and Mao in the template now. Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  12:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I must admit you're tenacious, you grab every opportunity to make your point. You certainly know what you want. C mon 10:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Marxists
How are you defining "contributors to Marxist theory"? Are you interpreting the latter as "Marxist political theory"? "orthodox Marxist theory?" "classical Marxist theory"? Every time you revert the additions that I've made, you revert them wholesale, without even taking the time to consider that at least many, although I'd argue all, of these figures are indeed more than merely "influenced" by Marxism. Consider Hardt, Wallerstein, and Raymond Williams, to cite just three of the sixteen names you so insistently remove from the list. Consider that there are different, competing definitions of "Marxist theory," and that your changes privilege a very particular and very restrictive one. Consider, finally, that you are the only voice on the talk page advocating such a restricted list and yet insist on making these changes unilaterally. Job L 21:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Marxists
Since all Communists are Marxists, what value there is placing articles in both 'Foo communists' and 'Foo Marxists' categories. This is double level categorization since I made 'Foo Communists' to be a sub-catgegory of 'Foo Marxists'--to reflect this reality. Thanks Hmains 00:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Some Communists aren't Marxists. --Inbloom2 15:45, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * which ones in WP? Hmains 02:25, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Anarcho-communists, for example. --Inbloom2 10:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Leninism
Stalinism is a POV term. Please use Marxism Leninism instead. Please use talk, rather than reverting the work of other editors. Thanks. --Duncan 16:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Stalinism do exist, it's not a POV.
 * Stalinism has 990 000 google hits, "Marxism-Leninism" 439 000. --Inbloom2 19:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes the conflating of work of Marx and Lennin with that of Stalin is typical of the POV foisted upon those attempting to make contributions to WP within it's declared policies, particularly in the English version. Lycurgus 09:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you have AIM or MSN?
I would like to discuss the Communism sidebar with you, since you and I seem to look at it regularly. --Mrdie (talk) 01:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't. Bu we can discuss on the "Template talk". --Inbloom2 (talk) 16:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion on the future of the Marxist taskforce
There is a discussion going on at the talk page to WikiProject Philosophy on merging the Marxist taskforce into the Socialist project. Seeing that you are a member, are you against such a merger, if so why? --TIAYN (talk) 11:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
