Is it plausible to improve Wikipedia through concerted effort by left organizations? (hexbear.net)

I hear that there are power users not unlike Reddit mods. Does that make it impossible to meaningfully change the content on Wikipedia, or is it just difficult in small numbers?

Given the integration of Wikipedia into assistants like Siri and Google AI search, it seems that removing some of the Red Scare NAFO nonsense on English Wikipedia would be a worthwhile endeavor - even if one has to deal with frustrating power users fighting edits
