Summary

The Marxists Internet Archive (MIA) is a website which primarily contains transcriptions of primary sources by notable Marxists and related people. Such pages from the website are subject to WP:PRIMARY. MIA also contains original content written by volunteers, including short summaries and overviews of Marxist topics, which have to be approved by its editorial board to be published. Although Wikipedia editors are divided on its political neutrality, there is a weak consensus that MIA's original content is generally reliable in its subject matter.

Excerpt

Marxists Internet Archive (MIA), also known as Marxists.org, is a non-profit online encyclopedia that hosts a multilingual library (created in 1990) of the works of communist, anarchist, and socialist writers, such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Rosa Luxemburg, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, as well as that of writers of related ideologies, and even unrelated ones (for instance, Sun Tzu). The collection is maintained by volunteers and is based on a collection of documents that were distributed by email and newsgroups, later collected into a single gopher site in 1993. It contains over 180,000 documents from over 850 authors in 80 languages. All material in the archive is provided free of charge to users, although not necessarily free of copyright.
