小红文库 | Little Red Library

Three women sit at a desk with their laptops. They are chatting and laughing.

What's 小红文库?

小红文库 (Little Red Library) is a collectively run digital archive dedicated to anti-capitalist writing, history, and culture. We publish and preserve material that helps people understand the world beyond markets, brands, and profit. Our goal is simple: make critical ideas easy to find, easy to read, and hard to erase.

Our values

Independence from state and capital. We are not government-run and we are not owned by investors. Access over gatekeeping. Knowledge should be shared, not paywalled. Care and accuracy. We cite sources, correct mistakes, and welcome good-faith critique.

How we work

We operate like a small library: we collect, catalog, translate when possible, and publish with context. Submissions are reviewed for relevance, clarity, and basic sourcing.

A society in which the full and free development of every individual forms the ruling principle

Little Red Library is a site made in response to the current state of the United States of America, and its failure that it calls "leadership".

The masses are the real heroes, while we ourselves are often childish and ignorant, and without this understanding, it is impossible to acquire even the most rudimentary knowledge.
Chairman Mao Zedong

We receive no funding currently. If you want to help, you can contribute writing, translations, editing, archiving, or technical support.
