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

From Palestinian Youth Movement:
"📍United Nations Headquarters
📅 September 24, 2026
⏰ TO BE ANNOUNCED

GENOCIDAL WAR CRIMINAL BENJAMIN NETANYAHU is coming to New York City to address the UN Headquarters for the General Assembly.

The primary architect behind the ongoing genocide on Gaza and the violent annexation of the West Bank, Benjamin Netanyahu will take the stage at the UN and attempt to legitimize his atrocities and his genocidal settler colonial state before the international community.

Netanyahu will be met with resistance and refusal! His presence demands mobilization. As he enters the UN to whitewash his crimes and manufacture consent for the ongoing genocide of our people, we will take to the streets to expose him and reject Zionism.

WE WILL NEVER ABANDON GAZA - Join us in the streets on SEPTEMBER 24 to stand with Palestine, reject these zionist war criminals, and demand that Israel be brought to justice. Time will be announced closer to the date. See you in the streets."

I know which one I want (assuming the video is as good as the thumbnail), but I don't doubt that it probably won't match that. I'd love to be surprised.

Israeli newspaper says Netanyahu's plane may avoid New York airport amid concerns over Mamdani

An Israeli newspaper reported on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plane will not land at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York during his visit to the United States on Thursday, amid concerns that Mayor Zohran Mamdani could order the plane to leave immediately.

Yedioth Ahronoth said Netanyahu's plane, Israel's official state aircraft, Wing of Zion, is expected to land at a military base in New Jersey or at Newark Liberty International Airport instead of JFK Airport in New York.

The newspaper attributed the decision to "difficulties in coordinating with US authorities" and concerns that Mamdani could order Wing of Zion to take off immediately rather than remain at the airport while Netanyahu is away. It said the plane would therefore land in New Jersey.

The newspaper quoted unnamed informed sources as saying: "Netanyahu decided to significantly shorten his visit to New York and will not stay overnight there because of concerns about protests."

It also reported that Netanyahu had cancelled a planned stop in Texas to meet US billionaire Elon Musk.

An Israeli source told the newspaper, commenting on the cancellation of the meeting with Musk: "There were challenges in coordinating, either because of the need to land to refuel or because the Americans prefer not to coordinate at the last minute."

I take this with a grain of salt (I don't believe there is any real concern about Mamdani, I think that's all bullshit and kayfabe), but I think the second paragraph is interesting and very possible.

Ireland has gone to historically extreme resources-draining lengths to secure Trump's visit:

Approximately 10,000 police members, a huge cavalcade from the airport to his destinations, snipers, armed guards, helicopters, and armoured vehicles deployed wherever he moves in the country.

Streets and parks closed, unprecedented and frequent checkpoints, and traffic jams in the capital.

This is all to protect someone who mass murdered children, wiped out entire families, and waged illegal wars on innocent people. Someone who had a love fest with Epstein.

Arnaud Bertrand - Ok, we now have the actual text of the Greenland deal (https://whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat
ements/2026/09/agreement-between-the-government-of-the-united-states-of-america-and-the-government-of-the-kingdom-of-denmark-together-with-the-government-of-greenland-to-amend-and-supplement-the-agreement-of-27-apri/
), so we can say how it compares to the existing 1951 arrangement and who, between Trump and Denmark, lied the most in their framing of it.

Long story short - which may surprise some - the Danes lied the most: Trump is pretty much correct in saying that this new deal grants the US control of Greenland.

Let's look into what changed compared to the 1951 deal.

1) This is now a permanent arrangement: whereas the existing 1951 deal only lasted as long as NATO existed, this one "does not have an end date and may only be amended by mutual consent."

It even survives a hypothetical future independence of Greenland: in that event, Denmark and Greenland must ensure that the independent Greenlandic state "affirmatively assume[s] all of the rights and obligations of the Kingdom of Denmark specified in this Agreement."

2) In the 1951 agreement, the US could set up bases only where both governments agreed, and only on the basis of NATO planning. The new deal locks in three bases: the US can "modernize and expand its activities" at Pituffik, its only base in Greenland until now, and "shall be allowed to establish an additional Defense Area at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig." Further bases beyond these 3 can be justified by the defense of "the American continent," a US interest rather than a NATO one.

Also, quite subtle but this is interesting: Article IV(iii) says  that "the United States may establish additional defense areas in Greenland" and that consultations are then held "to decide implementation details based on mutual agreement." What this means is that the principle of a new base is automatically granted and only the implementation details require agreement.

Article VII also gives the US "the right to raise concerns regarding construction, or change of use" of any building near a US base, after which the parties decide together what to do. Which meansPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Dockworkers Unions in Six Countries Announce Day of Strikes and Protests Against War and Genocide
Unions representing workers at 40 ports in  Europe and the Mediterranean are calling for an international day of action on October 30.
By Sarah Lazare | July 31, 2026
This article is a joint publication of Workday Magazine and In These Times.

Dockworkers unions in France, Greece, Basque Country, Turkey, Morocco, and Italy are calling an international day of action "against war and militarization" on October 30. They are demanding an end to "the genocide of the Palestinian people" and the "US-Israeli wars of aggression in the Middle East and against Iran."

"Each union will decide the most appropriate form of mobilization according to its national circumstances, starting from strike action and from a shared commitment to prevent the loading of death and destruction," reads a joint statement from the unions, which was sent to Workday Magazine and In These Times on July 31.

Together, the unions represent workers at 40 ports in Europe and the Mediterranean, according to the statement. Their call for an escalation emerged from a meeting of the port workers unions held in Istanbul in May. The announcement also expresses "full solidarity with the peoples of Cuba, Venezuela and Sudan," and declares that "ports must not be used for the transport of arms, ammunition, military equipment or troops destined for war zones."

"No to the war economy, government rearmament plans, and the project of militarization of ports and strategic infrastructure from [the] EU," the unions assert in their statement. "Public resources must be used to meet people's social needs, not to finance war." Signatories include CGT FNPD in France, ENEDEP in Greece, LAB in Basque Country, LIMAN-IS in Turkey, ODT in Morocco, and ORSA Porti and USB in Italy.

Since October 2023, Palestinian trade unionists have repeatedly called on union members around the world to go on strike and refuse to handle arms shipments to Israel, to protest the latter's military campaign in Gaza, which has been denounced as a genocide by leading human rights groups and scholars. (The United States has provided crucial political and financial support to Israel.) On April 5, 2025, the General Federation of Trade Unions in Gaza appealed to unionists to ​"create real pressure to stop this dirty war." Dockworkers have played a spiPost too long.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 72,700. 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 900 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 involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

Renewed US/Israeli attacks on Iran led to the destruction of multiple US bases in west Asia and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The US mercenary front called the GHF has reportedly disbanded.

NYCPYM - WEEK OF ACTION CONTINUES: We are picketing outside the apartment of Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon as part of our UNGA week of action.

We reject Israel's participation in the UN General Assembly during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Since the so-called ceasefire, over 1,300 Palestinians have been killed by Israel. This ceasefire has only meant continued impunity for Israel and the continued destruction of Palestinian life.

Despite Israel's genocide and daily violations of international law, the NYPD and secret service have been blocking off our city in preparation for Netanyahu's visit. Guard rails are up at the UN, roads are closed, and New Yorkers are risking arrest to picket outside war criminal Danny Danon's apartment.

The Hormuz Report - BREAKING: The US is again moving large numbers of strategic tankers and C-17 military transport aircraft toward the Middle East, with multiple aircraft tracked landing in Israel as a new US air bridge takes shape ahead of a potential large-scale attack on Iran, per Flightradar.

The buildup comes alongside increased military flight activity around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran , including KC-135 Stratotankers, KC-46 Pegasus tankers and MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones, as the US continues positioning forces and equipment in the region. The activity echoes patterns seen before previous strikes.

It comes days after Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran at the UN, adding to growing indications of preparations for a possible major US operation against Tehran.

Iran has also kept its military at its highest alert level since shortly after Trump cut short his Camp David trip.

Statement Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Allah, the Exalted, has said: {And if you are attacked, then retaliate in the same manner as you were attacked}-Truthful is Allah, the Almighty.

In the context of the aggression launched by the Saudi enemy against our country, and with the escalation of rocket attacks on the border areas in the provinces of Saada and Hajjah using more than 200 rockets launched from Jizan, and with the Yemeni Armed Forces observing large-scale mobilizations by the Saudi enemy aimed at escalating operations along the border regions,
The Yemeni Armed Forces, with the aid of Allah Almighty, carried out a preemptive, qualitative, and extensive military operation using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. The operation targeted operations rooms, command and control centers, weapons depots, and other critical sites belonging to the Saudi enemy's mobilizations in the Al-Tuwal area of Jizan, affiliated with what is known as the 6th Emergency Brigade.
Meanwhile, rocket launch sites and platforms in the Al-Dughayrir camp in the Jizan region were targeted.
As well as a number of Saudi enemy camps in the Jizan region.
The strikes were precise and direct, by the grace of Allah.
The results were as follows:
The killing and wounding of hundreds from the Saudi enemy's mobilizations, including Yemenis and Sudanese, along with dozens of Saudi enemy personnel and officers.
The destruction and incineration of several Saudi enemy weapons depots.
Our armed forces continue to carry out their duties with full strength and resolve, responding to sources of threat, retaliating against any aggression or attack, and monitoring and targeting all hostile movements wherever they may be, by the permission of Allah Almighty.
We persist in imposing the equation of siege with siege, escalation with escalation, and targeting the mobilizations of the Saudi enemy until the aggression ceases and the siege on our dear country is lifted.

Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs, the Best Protector and the Best Helper.
Long live Yemen, free, dignified, and independent,
And victory belongs to Yemen and to all the free people of the nation.

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

'A deal signed at gunpoint'- Francisco Rodríguez slams neocolonial US-Venezuela oil pact
After kidnapping Venezuela's President and First Lady, the Trump administration has struck a historic deal with Venezuela's unelected leadership that effectively grants it control over one fifth of the country's massive oil reserves.

Economist Francisco Rodríguez tells The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal why he believes the deal represents "gunpoint diplomacy," with Venezuela's de facto President Delcy Rodríguez essentially gifting the US billions of barrels of crude in order to avoid the same fate as her predecessor.

Conducted under the auspices of a corporation run by a Venezuelan oligarch facing multiple money laundering indictments abroad, with little transparency and absolute US control, Rodríguez describes the deal as an unprecedented sell-off of Venezuela's sovereignty that will open the floodgates of corruption.

Francisco Rodríguez is a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and a Faculty Affiliate at the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies. He is the author of The Collapse of Venezuela: Scorched Earth Politics and Economic Decline, 2012-2020.

Sprinter Press - 31 tons of Venezuelan gold are leaving London. After seven years of being blocked at the Bank of England due to the non-recognition of Nicolás Maduro's government, the precious metal, worth approximately $4 billion, is being transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under U.S. control to be used as collateral for obtaining international loans. Caracas will not be able to sell the gold bars, but the funds raised against their collateral will be used to rebuild the country after the devastating June earthquakes and to combat hyperinflation, under the strict supervision of independent auditors. The breakthrough in this long-standing legal deadlock came after Maduro's arrest by U.S. forces and the transfer of power to interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who managed to negotiate with the opposition to save the economy.

VPol:
Protests broke out in Caracas, Aragua, and other Venezuelan cities on Tuesday and Wednesday as interim President Delcy Rodríguez addressed the UN General Assembly and met with US President Donald Trump in New York, according to CNN en Español. Rodríguez thanked Trump in her UNGA speech but did not mention abducted President Nicolás Maduro.

￭ In Caracas, demonstrators gathered outside the UN office with banners reading "DelCIA arrodillada ante Trump" (DelCIA kneeling before Trump) and chanted "Delcy no nos representa" (Delcy does not represent us).

￭ The demonstrators rejected US tutelage over Venezuela: "Cease US support for the dictatorship," "Out with US interference in Venezuela," read other banners, according to http://ABC.es.

￭ A Meganálisis poll conducted September 15-19 found that 91 percent of respondents disapproved of a Trump-Rodríguez meeting, 94 percent said they would not feel represented by Rodríguez before the UN, and 80 percent rejected the August oil agreement.

￭ The protests reflect growing frustration with the government's promises of economic recovery through US cooperation. Rodríguez's UN address emphasized dialogue, peace, and energy security, and she thanked Trump for "restarting the path of diplomacy." She also stated that Venezuela "will hold elections" without providing a timeline.

￭ On the sidelines, Rodríguez held what she called a "historic" meeting with Trump at the Lotte New York Palace hotel, discussing energy, mining, and security cooperation. The meeting took place less than 15 kilometers from the Brooklyn prison where President Maduro and his wife are being held on fabricated drug trafficking charges.

Why have you not accepted cosmism?
In my search for a foundationally secure sociopolitical and economic system;
Marx was correct in his analysis of class.
But he missed the mark in so as nature itself is the enemy of the masses. We fight and persist against a system of entropic decay. The human race must take flight to the stars. It is literally the only way. Humanity is flawed. Our systems, ultimately, will be flawed as well. Humans are dumb, humans need to not be dumb. We must educate people (at least 25% of the population) we must over throw the system of capital and set up the system we replace it with that it forces society to become "philosopher kings" so to speak.

To do this you need:

1. Higher Phases of communism
2. Computerized control of economic signals (pricing, need, quanities, etc etc)
3.You need to set up a the macro workings of society to be upheld by "philosopher kings" so to speak.
4.Syndicalized networks of workers and workers bodies working in the lower stage of the economy.
5.????
6.PROFIT

The major issue with ideological foundations such as communism, fascism, liberalism, etc etc…not only are people flawed, so, any system given time will faultier, but, furthermore, is ideological rigidity is very good for getting movements going and even achieving your goals, but, the nature of systems, as they break down, is dissolution of the population. Because people are flawed, systems break down. So, furthermore, any system you construct must also include dialectical materialism so you can anticipate any flaws or contradictions that may arise. Contradictions can arise that you could not see till you got over the horizion.

We must escape the prison of earth.

It just doesn't seem like there's much of a thesis here to support an argument for actually living in space.

You are thinking to small.
It's not just "living in space" It's colonization of the universe, if possible, and at least colonization of the local cluster.

It is a biological imperative because history has shown us that the universe is hostile to our existence. If we don't get off this planet then humans will, at some point be destroyed.
The failures of the economic systems of Capitalism, Liberalism, Socialism in various forms historically, facism. These are all parts of a political and socio-economic grasping in the dark so to speak.

To truly achieve this goal is to break the barriers apart and figure out a pragmatic synthesis for the development of history under the lense of dialectical materialism. The points I made are merely a conclusion of tracing that path. You have to be able to, predict, not with 100% certainty the development of history to a degree and build a political and economic system that follows this metric.

I can have the ideology of not having ideology.
We need to use dialectical materialism is map out history moving forward.
