The most complete library of Marxism with content in 80 languages and the works of over 720 authors readily accessible by archive, sujbect, or history as well as hundreds of periodicals.

I don’t know if everyone is aware of this website, but comrades I’m here to present to you the website that has ALL Marxists and other writings. It includes writings from the Bolsheviks, to Mao Zedong and others. It includes works from all great revolutionary leaders and others. They aren’t just in English either. All for free. Its an archive of all writings.

    As someone who didnt know you had a library and just checked it out few suggestions if you are open to them:

    • link to the library from the main prolewiki landing page, otherwise it isn’t clear that a library exists
    • add an easy way to export the texts as pdf’s or ereader compatible formats
    • where possible highlight what was edited in the MIA version of texts that you host

    Happy to write out longer use cases/feature requests if you’d like

      Thanks!

      1. That’s actually a good suggestion, we wanted to redo the entire “index” page anyway. A question though, the library is linked in the megamenu, on the sidebar and on the homepages (in language instances), did you not see the links? 😵‍💫
      2. That’s in the works, we’re looking at options
      3. They don’t really say, you’d have to track down another version. To that end it’s easier to just replace the MIA versions we host with another.

        (Different person) 1. I only saw it in the “Welcome to ProleWiki” the “library of texts”, didn’t realise the other two. Though, I should point out that in the mega menu, Library is next to “Recent changes” and “Wanted pages”, that’s not where I would think to find Library, the navigation feels like technical pages, not useful for non-editors. In fact, when I click on “Recruitment” I just get a permission error. A part of the menu is dedicated to recent changes. Why? Ah, didn’t even realise this, even having just written both of them down, but you have recent changes twice.

        I did find it eventually but only after following your direct link to it and going back to the main page after language selection, I meant put it on the landing page before language selection so https://prolewiki.org/ as opposed to https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Main_page

        The non language landing page doesn’t have that sidebar and I only ever hit that page and searched immediately so never saw the other one with a lot more on it
