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!

I asked this before. Allowing retards to use the reading thread to """debate""" using their faggy-ass sub-literate """libertarian""" cliches was a weird decision, and apparently purely a consequence of us just being very chill.

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.

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.

NEW: In 2011, Jeffrey Epstein helped executives at JP Morgan arrange a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Emails discussing the meeting were previously reported as part of a U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit against the bank for its involvement in helping facilitate Epstein's sex trafficking. The documents also showed that Epstein was a key player in helping arrange oil and gas deals for JPMC with foreign leaders.

New disclosures of hacked emails inbox of former Israeli PM Ehud Barak now show that at the time Epstein was helping facilitate financing for the development of Israel's Leviathan gas field; including coaching Barak as he found foreign partners to help maneuver around Israel's anti-monopoly regulations. Netanyahu agreed to the meeting that Epstein helped set up with JP Morgan on March 23, 2011—the same day the Knesset Finance Committee voted on a tax increase on natural gas exports that cleared the way for commercial development of Leviathan.

Epstein died in 2019 while in the midst of talks to help coach Barak's political comeback. Israel recently concluded a $35bn deal to start exporting from Leviathan to Egypt; as part of a broader restructuring of the country's energy economy and relations with its neighbors.

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.

Close, but not quite. When capitalism has an existential crisis that the liberal center is unable to resolve, a lane is opened for the public to consider other types of politics. Fascism is what you get when the left fails to take power. We're not quite at an existential crisis yet, but it could very well be lurking around the corner when the AI bubble explodes.

Today's episode attached - Galloway covers Venezuela, Yemeni retaliations hitting "Israeli" airports, speculates that Iran may respond to "Israeli" threats (in light of previous attacks) with a strike, and more!

MOATS Christmas Eve Special | The First Half of 2025 | A World on the Brink | With George Galloway
🎄 This Christmas Eve, The Mother of All Talk Shows takes a moment to reflect. In a special Best Of edition, George Galloway looks back at the first half of 2025 — a period marked by war, crisis, propaganda, resistance, and moments that shaped the year we are living through.

From terror attacks and wildfires to Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, and the growing threat of global confrontation, this Christmas Eve MOATS revisits the most powerful conversations, predictions, and warnings from the opening months of the year — many of which proved chillingly accurate.

In this special look back, George revisits unforgettable moments with some of the most important voices to appear on MOATS in 2025 so far, including:

– Chris Hedges on terror, empire, and moral collapse
– Max Blumenthal on wildfires, power, and elite failure in California
– Greg Stoker on Iran, Trump, and the world standing on the brink of war
– Judge Andrew Napolitano on tariffs, law, and the US economy
– Professor Richard Wolff on Gaza, genocide, and Trump’s dangerous fantasies
– Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, live from Tehran, during the days many feared a nuclear war was imminent

This Christmas Eve edition is not just a compilation — it is a warning, a record, and a reminder of how quickly the world changed in 2025, and how close it came to catastrophe.

YEAR OF THE GUN | Trump and Zelensky | Myanmar poll | Old world over | MOATS LIVE
🔫 2025 has become the YEAR OF THE GUN — and George Galloway is LIVE to confront it. From Trump and Zelensky’s dangerous dance, to Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar and the collapse of the old world order, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows lays bare a year defined by weapons, war, and the failure of diplomacy.

As power shifts east, institutions crack, and conflicts multiply, George examines how the language of peace has been replaced by the language of force — and what that means for the year ahead.

🎖 Retired Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar — former US soldier and ex-worker at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — joins George with firsthand insight into Gaza, humanitarian failure, military reality, and the consequences of war decisions made far from the battlefield. His testimony cuts through spin and exposes what civilians are really facing.

📰 Max Blumenthal — award-winning journalist, author, and editor of The Grayzone — returns to MOATS to dissect US politics, Trump and Zelensky, media deception, Ukraine, Palestine, and why the “old world” is rapidly coming to an end. Few journalists have been more consistently right — or more fiercely attacked — for telling the truth.

Tonight George covers:
– Why 2025 is shaping up as the Year of the Gun, not diplomacy.
– Trump, Zelensky, and the politics of perpetual war.
– Gaza, Palestine, and the collapse of humanitarian credibility.
– Ukraine, Russia, and the grinding endgame.
– Myanmar and forgotten wars the media ignores.

im someone whose been interested in secret societies and clandestine shit, but i was always surprised how there were so few left-wing ones, compared to the myriad of right wing secret societies, since the only one i could find anything about is the spanish anarchist secret org called "The Disinherited".

why does the left seemingly not utilize secret societies, or are most of the left secret socs just really good at staying secret?

Tbh the left is way too reliant on popularity.

Even so, I think the real reason that secret societies tend to be more likely to be right wing is that secret societies tend to really be little clubs where people with large amounts of wealth or state funding get together to conspire on how to use their assets to attain certain goals. When people who aren't rich or politically powerful, and who don't have a deep attachment to existing power structures, do something like this it's usually referred to as a "gang" or a "cell" or something, rather than a secret society.

The first "exception" which comes to mind (which may not be a real exception, my memory is murky on whether they were meaningfully left wing beyond opposing the Nazi occupation of France and opposing Nazi anti-Jewish bigotry) is Bataille's Acéphale. Per Wiki:
"Bataille referred several times to Marcel Mauss who had studied secret societies in Africa, describing them as a "total social phenomenon". On this model, he organized several nocturnal meetings in the woods, near an oak which had been struck by lightning. Members of the Acéphale society were required to adopt several rituals, such as refusing to shake hands with antisemites and celebrating the decapitation of Louis XVI, an event which prefigured the "chiefless crowd" targeted by "acéphalité". Members of the society were also invited to meditation, on texts of Nietzsche, Freud, Sade and Mauss read during the assemblies. To psychologically prepare for the violence and losses that active duty in the French Resistance to Vichy–Nazi occupation of France would bring, members discussed carrying out a human sacrifice, but this was never carried out."

Anyway, as a structure, there's nothing wrong with the left utilizing "secret societies." The idea that we have to do everything in the daylight because popularity or something is just a really, really bad idea. No successful revolution has occurred, to my knowledge, without clandestine activities being carried out.

Usually the only left-ish secret societies are for terrorist activities. Weather Underground, Symbionese Liberation Army, etc. The problem is when you go underground you cut yourself off from growth and public sympathy. It's impossible to win a revolution without public sympathy.

No to the first, qualified no to the second.

It isn't actually impossible to have public sympathy while operating underground, and revolutionaries have to operate underground unless they already have established military support… in which case, they still need to have some cover for their revolutionary activities as long as they operate separately from sympathizers within the armed forces. Anyway, it's really the state propaganda machine and crackdowns which make garnering sympathy difficult.

Some level of public sympathy is necessary to win a revolution, but it's also true that public sympathy can be gained through the course of revolution, and it's not necessary to start with overwhelming public sympathy or even have overwhelming public sympathy at the time of victory. The primary concerns are taking control over the state through force; the most valuable sympathy to have in this case isn't the general public, it's swathes of the lower ranks of the military class, and whatever sympathizers can be gained from the upper ranks. More sympathy is good, but trying to set out on revolution starting with overwhelming support, delaying and delaying in the hopes of some day getting that starting point without first accomplishing anything, is a fool's errand. It's important to look at this stuff for what it is; a socialist revolution represents the interests of the working class, but it still must attain power through ruthless revolutionary warfare which only requires enough support and power to overtake the existing state and take control of, and reform, and run the existing bureaucracies.

Yeah, and they have the upper hand by being out in the open. It's very difficult to counter this stuff from the underground.

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

Translate their Official FAQ into English, or listen to interviews with the founders.
Nazbol movement was basically a punk anarkiddie movement that adopted "Stalinism", the logo was literally made to troll Yeltsin retards who were going around pushing double genocide bullshit and muh "Totalitarianism". National Bolshevik movement was largely tied to the radical far-left faction of the KPRF as well.
People take what is essentially the old 8chleftypol NAZBOL GANG meme, and actually think it was serious, that is how people react to Dugin and the National Bolshevik movement. Not realizing Dugin is essentially a troll post-modern philosopher more in the style of Zizek, and the National Bolsheviks were born out of Anarkiddie punks so were trying to be provocative.
The Nazbols and Dugin are also fanatically anti-racist and anti-antisemitism, it's actually one of the core planks of their ideology, and they despise White-Nationalism and antisemitism to a extremely absurd degree (with Dugin trolling that if Jewish led white genocide is happening, it's good), which is a strange position to push for so called "fascists".

Sure, but the National Bolshevik movement, nor Dugin, has anything really to do with that. They emerged as figures in the 1990s as part of anti-United Russia/Yeltsin front. In Russia, Dugin and the National Bolsheviks are seen as radically far-left.
That said, Dugin nor the NazBol movement has anything really to do with the ACP. They are influential on Haz and Hinkle, but they don't set the party agenda, there is nothing "Fascist" in the ACP policy or party positions and it's pretty clear the ACP is more based on the Post-Mao CPC.

The thread about Abrahamic religions being compared to Nazism got gulag'd https://leftychan.net/gulag/ but here is my reply:



Xi Jinping's take is the following (from NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-xinjiang-documents.html
, use addon like Bypass Paywalls Clean if you can't read):

In several surprising passages, given the crackdown that followed, Mr. Xi also told officials to not discriminate against Uighurs and to respect their right to worship. He warned against overreacting to natural friction between Uighurs and Han Chinese, the nation’s dominant ethnic group, and rejected proposals to try to eliminate Islam entirely in China.

“In light of separatist and terrorist forces under the banner of Islam, some people have argued that Islam should be restricted or even eradicated,” he said during the Beijing conference. He called that view “biased, even wrong.”



Furthermore, the Infrared stance seems to be not to disrespect people's religions because it is alienating or something. Infrared's Haz said something like socialism is not just about being right but to correctly articulate their class position.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Syrian regime terrorists are attacking Alawite neighborhoods, destroying property and terrorizing civilians. They filmed themselves beating an Alawite child who was trying to get bread for his family, forcing him to “accept Islam” and renounce Alawites
