'''Factionalism''' is an aspect of life itself. Each living cell is part of a faction - a liver cell is part of a liver, which is part of an endocrine system which is part of an organism. That organism in turn has factional interests that ally it with other organisms (like its own gut bacteria) against other organisms again. There is no escape from factions: you are made out of them.

Wikipedia is an inherently competitive process. Get used to it. Revel in your time. Prepare for edit wars of attrition. There is no [[community]]. All is content, forking off a static deliverable once in a while as the dynamic process continues (see [[eventualism]]).

'''Antifactionalism''' is an aspect of [[community]] and is built upon the principles that people share and intermingle. Antifactionalism denies that there are isolated communities, only global communities. [[Factionalism|Factionalist]] may evolve into [[Antifactionalism|Antifactionalist]] then to a form of [[Eventualism|Eventualist]] in the [[MeatBall:LongNow|Long Now]]. Antifactionalism specifies a transitional period in which the [[editor]]s would form a [[Inclusionism]] commmunity. After some [[Wikimedia collaboration|collaboration]], the forceful use of editor's power against its enemies during the passage from Antifactionalism to Eventualism is needed to seize articles from the Factionalism minorities.

Antifactionalism serves the purpose of cooperation, harmony, [[Wikifaith]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiLove|Wikilove]]. Its key ideas are a belief in equality, both editors and admins, and lie in opposition to factionalism. An [[w:elite|elite]], which practices [[factionalism]], always fails to serve the proletariat reader, who should be given all the facts and data - thus only a robust community can include all possible views and [[en:Democratic centralism|democratic centralism]] can be brought to bear.

Factionalism is an aspect of life itself. Each living cell is part of a faction - a liver cell is part of a liver, which is part of an endocrine system which is part of an organism. That organism in turn has factional interests that ally it with other organisms (like its own gut bacteria) against other organisms again. There is no escape from factions: you are made out of them.

For those who seek peaceful resolution of disputes "there is no alternative to multi-party representative democracy" - Les Campbell, The Democracy Project.

Factions, or parties, serve the purpose of making terminology describing issues and disputes simple enough for mass participation, and the pooling of a great number of people's ideas. A bureaucracy, which practices antifactionalism, always fails to be comprehensible to the layman, who always has the freshest perspective - thus only factions can bring the ability to compete, and other political virtues to bear.

Wikipedia is an inherently competitive process. Get used to it. Revel in your time. Prepare for edit wars of attrition. There is no community. All is content, forking off a static deliverable once in a while as the dynamic process continues (see eventualism).
