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 year is 2026 and the so-called "Left" continues to engage in romanticizing lumpen or downplaying their destructive MATERIAL effects on working class people. Meanwhile strongman "soft fascist" (to borrow a term from Zizek) figures like Bukele and Duterte enjoy record high popularity among the working classes of their respective countries, "Global South" working classes at that (how are the Third Worldists coping?).

Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto made it very clear what they thought of the lumpen. Social scum and, in the most likely instance, tools of reaction (like, say, fascist paramilitias). Do these "Leftists" think Marx and Engels were stupid?

Not even Marx claimed that lumpenproles weren't workers. What a fucking weird thing to claim. The entire, most anti-lumpenrole Marxist line, is that lumpenproles are the "reserve army of labor" and thus exceptionally exploitable workers who can be easily manipulated against their own class interests since they are generally less educated and constantly for want of regular/decent work. It's roughly an inverse principle of the one that applies to Marxist critiques of trade unionist "labor aristocrats." Unionized workers and lumpenproles aren't separate classes, but rather segments of the working class.

https://x.com/HormuzLetter/status/2086184556525391947
The Hormuz Letter, Aug 8, 2026: The Israeli military has directly informed CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or support from the US to wage war against Iran, adding "we are currently making preparations to start the war," per Israeli Channel 13.

Israel is preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the US is no longer willing to finish the war on its terms.

Iran has previously threatened to strike Israel's Haifa oil refinery and Tel Aviv directly as soon as Israel strikes Iran again, with Iran having broken the air defense layer in Jordan and other Arab countries in daily attacks over the last few weeks allowing it to strike Israel more effectively, and with Israel's own interceptor stocks now critically low leaving it more vulnerable.

Dimitri Lascaris | The New 'Sunni NATO' Is Aimed At Iran
On August 7, 2026, in Mecca, the Western-backed autocrats of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye announced the formation of the Mecca Join Defence Agreement.

Under their new agreement, the three states say they'll treat an attack upon one member as an attack upon all three members.

Some describe this pact as the new 'Sunni NATO'.

The three regimes claim that this pact is not aimed at any particular country, but as Dimitri Lascaris argues in this report, the pact is almost certainly aimed at Iran and not Israel.

Dimitri also discusses breaking news about Iran's new demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

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.

Israeli attacks kill 1,257 people in Gaza since last year’s ‘ceasefire’
Over the past 48 hours, Gaza’s hospitals have received the bodies of two Palestinians who succumbed to their injuries in previous Israeli attacks and six people who were injured in new ones, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

Since the “ceasefire” began in October last year, Israel has killed 1,257 people and wounded 4,131 in near-daily attacks on the Strip.

Overall, since the war began on October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed 73,384 and injured 174,242 people.

Israeli forces search Gaza border area after fence cut found
The Israeli military has launched a search in the area around Kibbutz Zikim, near the northern Gaza border, after a cut was discovered in the community’s perimeter fence, local media reported.

The kibbutz’s security coordinator reportedly alerted the military after discovering the breach, prompting soldiers to search the area for potential suspects.

Israeli media cited military officials as saying there is no threat to the public, while Israel’s Army Radio reported, citing security sources, that there is no indication anyone crossed into Israel from Gaza.

All of this. Nature evolved communist societies and they are the most vibrant and successful ecosystems on Earth.

>A linchpin in the tree-fungi networks are hub trees. Also referred to as “mother trees,” these are the older, more seasoned trees in a forest. Typically, they have the most fungal connections. Their roots are established in deeper soil, and can reach deeper sources of water to pass on to younger saplings. Through the mycorrhizal network, these hub trees detect the ill health of their neighbors from distress signals, and send them needed nutrients.[1]

The creatures of the forest are our fellow comrades in our mutual struggle against capitalism.

This visit today, on July 28, 2026, marks the seventh consecutive visit to the US by Benjamin Netanyahu during Donald Trump's 2nd term. This is the most US visits by any "israeli" prime minister during any presidential term in history.

Demonstrations are ongoing as of 6PM ETA in DC, and a letter & petition to Maryland Governor Wes Moore and AG Anthony Brown has been released:

Dear Governor Wes Moore & Attorney General Anthony Brown,

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is conducting an ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign, bombing multiple countries across the Middle East, and advocating an openly fascist ideology. Netanyahu is now coming to Maryland and Washington, D.C. for his seventh visit during President Trump’s second term to continue his advocacy for war and ethnic cleansing.1 We implore you to use the powers of the Maryland Attorney General's office to investigate and prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu for his crimes.

Netanyahu has already been investigated by the International Criminal Court, which issued a warrant for his arrest and found reasonable grounds to believe he is criminally responsible both as a co-perpetrator of several crimes and as a civilian superior for the war crime of intentionally targeting civilian populations.2 This includes the war crime of using starvation as a method of warfare. For these acts, 15 countries have committed to arresting him. Residents of Maryland3 and across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area4 more broadly have been victims of his rhetoric and ongoing genocidal campaign. It is the responsibility of the Governor and the Attorney General to defend the Maryland residents who have been subjected to violence by Netanyahu’s crusades and to hold the perpetrator accountable for his criminal acts.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has escalated its ongoing genocide against Palestinians, murdering over 70,000 people5. The Israeli military, under the direction of Netanyahu, has used increasingly destructive means to lay waste to Gaza. Israel has decimated the healthcare system in Gaza with 735 attacks on healthcare facilities as of June 20256. 90% of schools and universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks7. The Israeli prison system continues to torture Palestinians, with almost 10,000 Palestinians abducted and detained by Israel as of December 20258 and at least 98 Palestinians killed in Israeli custody bePost too long.

PSL Statement, July 29, 2026:
🇵🇸Rain or shine - we show up for Palestine!

Protesters on Tuesday showed that even torrential rain storms and police violence can't quiet opposition to war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's seventh visit to the Trump White House.

Despite a warrant for his arrest by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, Netanyahu was allowed to move freely by the Trump administration and the governments of Maryland and Washington, D.C., and an ever-enlarging part of our city - now extending north to I Street - had been turned into a fenced-in compound for his safety from the mass calls for his arrest.

We will continue to demand the arrest of Netanyahu and all war criminals for their crimes against humanity in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond! End all U.S. aid to Israel NOW!

Yoon Suk Yeol (emphasis on the suck) has declared martial law, out of the blue. Probably because he's loosing power, his approval rating tanked, there's scandals surrounding his wife and the opposition is blocking his political programs.

The pretext he gave for the martial law was "eradicating the pro north Korean communist forces"
