/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Hello /leftypol/, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

New Roulette Board
>>>/777/
After some discussion, we decided on /k/ as the new roulette board theme, replacing /CHAD/. Archived threads from previous roulette cycles can still be viewed here >>>/roulette_archive/
Any suggestions for future roulette board rotations are welcome.

the fact that many kids living in nuclear families are increasingly being raised by Ipad is a sign that the nuclear family as an institution has become irrelevant. Even from the start the nuclear family idealized the view of dads as someone who spent 99% of his time at job instead of being with his family and moms as stay at home serfs which is not only sexist but also retardedly dystopic.

However, i do not vibe with most marriage abolitionists because most of them criticized it from a liberal, promethean individualist perspective. They want to abolish marriage because they want to replace it with a libertarian world where free individuals hook up with everyone but never truly attach themselves to anyone that they don't envision through their Will. I actively abhorr that vision. I want a more communitarian, more communal relationships that carried real stakes like the clans of old.

Since there have been new doc releases and recent new exposures of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his activities with Israeli intelligence, Donald Trump, Ehud Barak, (former) Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, and various ops, corporate states, and world governments, and with new information now coming very fast, I thought I'd create a new thread just to collect more of this new stuff in one place, as well as to potentially add previously released info which might be getting memory holed.

Imperialism hurts workers everywhere, including here in the USA – Communist Party USA

Genocide

The Netanyahu Israeli government rained down U.S.-made bombs provided by Biden on Gaza killing over 40 thousand Palestinians 80 percent of whom are women and children, destroying most housing, hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, churches, industry, farms. Wantonly killing health care and aid workers, Israel’s siege starves Palestinians of food, water, medicines, sanitation and electricity. Now Trump wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn it into a resort.


Assassinations

On the African continent Burkina Faso’s Thomas Sankara, Congo’s Patrice Lumumba, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi and Guinea-Bissau’s Amilcar Cabral were all overthrown and assassinated to assist the continued transnational theft of each country’s resources.

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US invoPost too long.

Why did Australia not have a Communist movement like most of SEA did? Why were Thailand and Malaysia able to resist Communists?
Was the region of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia the primary red corridor? What happens in Indonesia? I know Suharto murdered communists, but nothing more. Are there regions with more Communists?
Is Myanmar doomed? Do they have a Chinese elite like Thailand does? How was the Filipino government so successful in repressing the Communists?

Per AJ:
"United States President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on December 29, according to an Israeli government spokesperson.

The announcement on Monday did not provide any further details of the planned meeting, which the pair had tentatively announced last week."

In July of 2024, some 30,000 people came to DC to demand Mileikowsky's arrest - it's never been a matter of numbers. Americans definitively have the numbers to end this Holocaust, to end the impunity, to drag the tyrants out of their holes & mansions and hang them from heights corresponding to their elevated hubris. This is the only appropriate response to the genocide and to the war which has been waged upon the American workers for opposing it; the only appropriate response to the espionage, the gas, the beating, the mass arrests and disappearances, the masked secret police abducting exchange students off the street for writing papers saying "don't kill children."

Had even 1/10th those 30,000 marchers in July of 2024 taken direct action instead of marching in circles, history would have been changed. This war would no longer be so one-sided - the desperate censorship and crackdowns pursued by the tyrannical quislings in the Starmer & Trump clown regimes would not continue without opposition. Just one thousand men armed cheaply could sufficiently overwhelm police; armed less cheaply, they could do even better. Every multiplication of that thousand increases the odds of success and increases the amount of informants and traitors which would be necessary in order to stop them from succeeding. And here were 30,000 - who marched around town in the heat shouting slogans until they were tired, and who were attacked by cops with gas anyway.

Every bit of numeric strength which is required to take power from global genocidal pigs and to distribute power among the people is here, available to the American movement. For now, knowledge is at our fingertips. That won't be true forever.
