RationalWiki is an online opinion blog formatted like an encyclopedia that was created in 2007. Although it was created to debunk Conservapedia and Christian fundamentalism (and indeed, does debunk many far-right myths)[1] it is also very liberal and promotes anti-communist propaganda. It spreads imperialist lies and about socialist states including the USSR[2] and Korea[3] while uncritically promoting narratives from the CIA and U.S. State Department. It equates so-called "tankies" with reactionaries simply because the Soviet Union dissolved in the past and "tankies" consider that a bad thing.[4]
