Sorry ta burst your bubble, but the scary thing about Wikipedia is that ANYBODY can contribute ta it and everything written there can be a lie. I found a great deal of political untruths there. So.. it's a good source, but be on your guard.

thats true, but politics can be very subjective. most of the stuff that i've seen so far has seemed pretty credible...except one thing talked about an outbreak of cholera in angola in may 2006 when it was still april. quite confusing.
i still love wikipidea though

Politics are not necessarily subjective. One Wikipedia source gave three lies about the Socialist party, lies ta replace what would be fact and not opinion.

Once again, I BEG thee ta reply ta my comment and not post a separate one. :) That way I get informed when you post one.

The lies are as follows:

According to Marxists (notably Friedrich Engels), socialist models and ideas are said to be traceable to the dawn of human social history, being an inherent feature of human nature and early human social models.First of all, it was Karl Marx that made this reference and not Friedrich Engels. The idea was indeed formulated in a similar fashion, but the point of the reference was not ta draw the connection between Socialism and primitive life but instead ta show the progression from a primitive state ta feudalism ta capitalism (with the industrial revolution) ta a long rise of capitalism ta a potential ideal Communist revolution, and as an alternative, if this was incorrect, Socialism was given as a transitional stage inbetween capitalist reign and Communist freedom ( ... )

i read this (notice i REPLIED to your comment, not posted a new one), although i dont claim to understand it completely. is the quote from wikipidea a direct quote from the person (you say marx, they say engles) or just a statement of general ideas. who knows, they both could have said it, although i do admitt wikipidea could very well be wrong. i don't really understand the rest. i'll talk to you online about it though, it might be easier

Everything except for the italicized words are my words. Only the italicized words are a Wikipedism. Sorry if you don't understand my political babble, I'll shut up.
