Is wikipedia communism?

Question

And if so, what can we do to stop it from corrupting our children?

Answer 1

No it is just libearly biased.

Answer 2

communism or socialism by themselves are not evil - the idea is to share things equally. Many countries use some socialist principles to good effect. The US has let capitalism go crazy, with the result that your medical system is completley ruined. In many countries taxes subsidise medicine so that even the poorest can access good medical care quickly - this is a communistic idea. I guess wikipedia is communisitic in philosophy - everyone can share and modify info. This is its strength, it is also its weakness - any idiot can develop a soapbox and promulgate all sorts of nonsense. However the large group acessing wikipedia tend to remove or censor such things quite quickly. Like all good institutions, it has good and bad points. Corruption of the youth is a very rubbery term. What is corruption? What is the sort of truth they should learn? Are all truths good? Does not the truth set you free? Parents should show children how to judge the world and react to the truth apprpriately, that is the truth.

Answer 3

Wikipedia is in NO way communist.

And why do you suddenly believe communism "corrupts" children and is inferior to the capitalist system?

Look what capitalism gives: 2% of the world's population owning 50% of the world's wealth, crime, poverty and homelessness in every city, and the general population suffering.

Sure, communism wasn't great, and didn't work completely, but it did create equality - equality in the sense that every percieved everyone else was equal, not equality in the sense that people with great minds weren't allowed to progress and succeed. Every had a similar financial capital, there were no homeless or poor, unemployment was basically nil.

I myself believe in communism, but have tried to keep a balanced argument - in future, please consider proper data and sources before going with common belief of the 1950's that communism "corrupts" children.

Answer 4

ha ha..ha ha. Capitalism has corrupted more children than Wikipedia ever could.
Communism...the big monster of the past! What exactly were you told about it? and what exactly do you know about it.
I am not, and have never supported communism, but l do not imagine that it will rear ts head in the greedy world of capitalism....let alone influence the'got everything' brats with computers at their fingertips. Communism only worked on poor people.

Answer 5

Wikipedia Communism? Where did you get that assumption from. Wikipedia is an incredibly good reference to go to if you're doing research. Supports several different languages. Communism, I don't think so.

YES KEEP THE INTERNET COMMUNISTIC


communism works for the people that WORK.
not for the ones that don't work....... communism is a GREAT idea as long as NO ONE abuses it.

(the US painted Communism as the enemy because it is different than our government.........and well, they were the enemy)
china is communistic and look how well (MOST) of them are doing. We get along just great don't we?

communism has a problem. the one in "CONTROL" of the communistic people get to take all the money for themselves, instead of sharing it fairly ---- its called a corrupted government.

Lets say the Internet was no longer communistic. HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY TO GET ONLINE

this photo when it was taken was actually wrapped in plastic and submerged in the back of a toilet while the photographer was searched and harassed by chinese police as they knew he could have photographed the instance. Luckily him and the photo made it. http://www.jimmysworld.org/images/posts/tiananmen_tank_man.jpg
(they shot 3000 people that day, and EVERYONE was watching the chinses government. Since then the government has been much nicer, yet refuse to appologize.

I still think yahoo was just doing what it was told by the Chinese government.
I like yahoo and I forgive them

and I LOVE wiki

Answer 7

I've only heard of wikipedia, but from what I understand of it you would be better off defining it as unnecessary. It's another attempt by the media entities to make people think trivial things are important, thus making it somehow necessary. As a matter of fact by even answering this question i've contributed to it's worthlessness. i better go

Answer 8

It isn't communism, as it isn't some dictatorship that conspires to make everybody poor. It isn't a democracy, as strength of argument decides disputes, not votes.

Wikipedia is simply an encyclopedia.

Answer 9

i dont know what communism is but i do know that wikipedia isnt a reliable source and thats why i dont use wikipedia because anybody can edit it

Answer 10

No.

The question you should be asking yourself is, what can you do to stop facism from corrupting your children?

Answer 11

Yes and guns. Guns are the most effective way to topple a government. That and bombs, but bombs are dangerous for children.

Hope this helps!
