Wikipedia wants to delete explanation of mass killings

[SassyLady]

Wikipedia wants to rewrite history of mass genocide because of bias towards communistist ideology.

Snippet of article. Please read article and help me understand why people want to delete the page on mass genocide.

https://www.opindia.com/2021/11/wiki...unist-regimes/

The article lists several instances of genocides by communists, including the Red Terror in Russia by the Bolsheviks at the start of the Russian Civil War, mass murders by Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot using various policies, and other similar well-known instances in communist regimes in East Germany, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ethiopia etc.

The extensive article also lists various terminology used with mass killings, and discusses whether deaths caused by famines under communist rules can be labelled as mass murder, apart from listing various historical events and estimates of casualties.

However, the left-leaning editors and moderators are now not happy with such a specific article on mass murders by communist regimes, and have decided to delete it. They claim that ‘Mass killings under communist regimes’ is not a legitimate subject for an encyclopaedic article, and it is a synthesis. Many of them also claim that deaths due to famine in communist regimes can’t be called mass murders, even though the famines were caused by the policies of the communist rulers. They claim that the relation between mass murders and the communist regimes where they happened is synthesised.

They claim the article violates Wikipedia policy as it is a synthesis of published material, and it is not a neutral point of view.

Those who are advocating for its deletion further claim that the incidents of mass murders mentioned in the article are separate, not linked to each other, and hence they can’t be clubbed together, while agreeing that these murders did take place under communist rules. Some of them argue it is just a compilation of other articles, and hence it does not have encyclopedic value.

It is notable that none of those who are asking to delete the article deny the incidents narrated in it. They are just saying that it does not deserve a separate article, or that some of the incidents can’t be called mass murders and can’t be linked to communism.

1. Wikipedia is establishment leftist if not communist propaganda.

2. Wikipedia is 1984's "Ministry of Truth". whos main purpose is was work for 'the party' with lies and to Memory hole information that it didn't want the public to know.

One of it's own founders hates it now.

If people really want to be upset about "ERASING History" wikipedia is a REAL target for that hatred.
Removing a statue is symbolic and doesn't "remove" any history,
what Wikipedia... and Alexa... does is real.

The "Ministry of Truth" includes google and most definitely Alexa (Amazon). If you go looking for misinformation aka lies (by omission or not) on Alexa you don't have to look far.

They aren't trying to change us so much as brainwash the young.
