I would not be in favor of having loads of articles on someone's view on

ok, but in general such a view should be (with the clear indications what
it is) on the main page in those areas where the Marxist view is important,
and not on Wikipedia at all where it is not.
A large number of articles either on Marxism and associated movements, or
historical articles on incidents where Communist parties have acted either
in or out of power are appropriate, when someone has the energy to do them.
Those articles necessarily will include Marxist theory as the actions are
incomprehensible in its absence.
I think that in most cases these explanations could be very short, with a
link to a more general explanation which could be found at the 'Marxism' (or
perhaps 'Communism') page. We should be giving a long, extensive overview of
marxist ideas on that page, and give a short description of the marxist views
on a subject with those subjects where that is of interest, but not create
pages like "Marxist view on Freedom", "Marxist view on Sport",
"Buddhist view
on Sacrifice" or "Conservative Christian view on Terrorism".
