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.

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!

What do you make of him?
I'm genuinely not sure what to make of him. On the one hand, I think his show is really good about exposing some really nasty stuff.

On the other hand, the PKK/YPG was really obviously being used as a cover for US/Zionist imperialist ops. PKK-controlled territory operated (and operates?) illegal concentration camps (ostensibly for the "families of ISIS takfiris) in Syria on behalf of the American occupier. Although I used to believe anyone could just have volunteered for the YPG, I realized with Ukraine that sometimes groups will claim that they'll take anyone, regardless of experience, but will then reject most applicants on the grounds that they have no experience or useful skills. I don't know if the YPG claim to be recruiting anyone was a sham or not, but I do wonder in retrospect.

His cred as a unionist might be less questionable, but it wasn't exactly a great success story. He unionized a San Francisco brewery which was being run into the ground under foreign management, and then four years later, foreign management decided to scrap it for parts. I'm not saying I think every try will be a riveting success, but for a guy who is still identified as a prominent present day American labor organizer, this is one pretty monumental failure, and it's his entire record in this field. Like an eerie Japanese Dracula, Sapporo saki'd Anchor Brewing dry, with what ultimately amounted to little resistance from a supposedly militant labor union led by a former machine gunner.

What do you think?

Also, as an addendum, I hadn't realized this until reading about it just now, but apparently after Sapporo closed Anchor Brewing, they sold the brewery to a Turkish-born Kurdish-American guy named Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO of Chobani.

Dimitri Lascaris | Iran War Escalates as Iranian and U.S. Militaries Trade Blows in the Strait of Hormuz
In the early hours of May 8, the U.S. Navy purportedly attacked two civilian Iranian vessels in or near the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian military responded by launching what U.S. officials described as an "intense" missile and drone attack on U.S. destroyers.

Although Trump claimed that the destroyers suffered no harm, Iran's military insisted that a U.S. destroyer sustained "significant damage".

At around the same time as these dramatic events unfolded, Iranian ports were struck in the south of the country, and Tehran's air defences systems were activated.

Dimitri Lascaris speaks with Iranian journalist Alirez Akbari of Press TV about what is actually happening in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

Alireza is currently in Tehran. He accompanied Dimitri during Dimitri's trip across Iran in March of this year.

🇮🇶 Al-Nujaba Movement Secretary-General, Sheikh Akram Al-Kaabi:

There has been much talk these days by the acting head of the American embassy of evil and corruption, with direct urging and incitement from the criminal zionist entity, regarding the sacred weapons of the honorable Islamic Resistance in Iraq. It is unfortunate that a few who have been seduced by worldly interests have become mouthpieces for these criminals.

Therefore, from a religious, national, and responsible standpoint, we call upon all our brothers in the resistance factions to reject the very premise of discussing this topic. It is a disgrace to listen to rhetoric that represents nothing but the echo of the zionist and the American at a time when our country remains occupied, its skies violated, and its sovereignty stolen by continuous and blatant overt interference.

Let them know that the weapons of the resistance are a red line; this is the trust of the martyrs and the honor of the authentic Iraqi tribes. With it, we wipe away the tears of bereaved mothers and soothe the burning hearts of the believers, and we have protected Iraq with it from the filth of ISIS and their American masters. It will not be handed over as long as there is breath in us, nor will it be taken even if lives are sacrificed. And Allah is the guardian of the believers.

Egypt gets extra $300m in World Bank package over Iran war fallout
The package will help the country confront the economic difficulties stemming from the US-Israeli war on Iran, says Stephane Guimbert, the World Bank’s division director for Egypt, Yemen and Djibouti.

The package, consisting of $800m from the World Bank and a $200m British guarantee, is to support private sector-led job creation, macroeconomic stability and the green transition. The bank’s board approved it on Friday.

The bank’s share was increased from $500m due to “the uncertainty in the region and the shock facing Egypt, like other countries, because of the war in Iran”, he said.

The financing is on terms unavailable in commercial markets – at about 6 percent interest, with a maturity of 30 years and a grace period before repayments begin, Guimbert said.

The operation is the second in a three-part programme. The first was approved in June 2024; a third is planned for next year.

Other lenders, including the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, are expected to provide complementary parallel financing.

The ‘antisemitic terrorism’ narrative around the Golders Green incident on Wednesday has now collapsed. The alleged assailant was mentally unwell with previous convictions for stabbing, dating back years, and he had left psychiatric care in recent days. One of his three victims (yes three, not two!) was a Muslim. While suffering an apparent mental health crisis, two Met officers kicked his head in IDF-style and then the Met justified it like a Netanyahu press conference.

We’re supposed to believe this man was an ‘antisemitic terrorist’ in the pay of Iran, motivated to attack Jews because of pro-Palestine protests and chants. This is a total sham and deeply insidious. The mainstream media, politicians, and the Metropolitan Police are colluding with Zionists to exploit this attack to further erode freedom of expression and assembly, and to expand Jewish militias in London.

Welcome to the complete Zionisation of British politics!

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.

🟢 Hamas:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The cowardly "israeli" crime that targeted Azzam Al-Hayya, the son of the movement's leader in the Gaza Strip and head of the negotiation delegation, Brother Fighter Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, represents a continuation of the occupation's approach of targeting civilians and the families of Palestinian leaders, as part of its failed attempts to influence the will of the resistance and its political positions through terror, killing, and psychological pressure.

The contradiction and confusion that accompanied the "israeli" narrative regarding the targeting operation reveal the scale of the turmoil the occupation government is experiencing. They also clearly reflect that this crime came within the framework of attempts to exert pressure on the resistance leadership and its negotiating delegation, after the occupation failed to impose its conditions or achieve its declared goals.

Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya and the negotiating delegation had previously been subjected to a wicked assassination attempt in Doha, during which a number of martyrs from our people and the dear Qatari people ascended, including his son, the martyr Hammam Al-Hayya, in a crime that confirms the occupation's insistence on targeting everyone who adheres to the rights and national constants of our people.

The movement confirms that our Palestinian people, who have offered tens of thousands of martyrs, will not allow the occupation to turn the blood of sons and families into a tool for political blackmail, and that these crimes will not push the Palestinian negotiator to retreat from his constants or abandon the rights of our people to stop the aggression, end the siege, and fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, targeting the children of Palestinian leaders will not lead to weakening the position of the resistance, but will rather increase its adherence to the rights of our people and its determination to wrest them, and will deepen the popular support around it, as it pays the same cost of confrontation alongside its people, and offers from its own sons and families just as our people's sons offer everywhere in the Gaza Strip.

The occupation's resort to this type of crime confirms its compound crisis and its inability to break the will of our people or achieve a political or field achievement, so it resorts to a policy of revenge and attempts to spread fear by tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

🚨 The Prisoners' Affairs Commission, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, and the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association:

Update on the number of prisoners in "israeli" occupation prisons as of the beginning of May 2026.

These data are based on what was issued by the prisoners' institutions and what was announced by the administration of the "israeli" occupation prisons as of the beginning of May 2026, in some categories.

The number of prisoners and detainees in "israeli" occupation prisons has reached more than 9400 prisoners and detainees.

Among them are 87 female prisoners.

As for the number of child prisoners, it reaches about 360 children, whom the occupation detains in "Megiddo" and "Ofer" prisons.

The number of administrative detainees is 3376.

The number of those classified by the occupation under the label "unlawful combatants" is 1283 detainees, noting that this number does not include all Gaza detainees held in camps belonging to the occupation army and classified under this category. It is noted that this classification also includes Arab detainees from Lebanon and Syria.

This is Amy Eskridge.

She is one of the 11 scientists who has died/disappeared recently that’s linked to high government research and secrets.

Amy researched anti-gravity and in this clip reveals anti-gravity was already discovered 4 times, but each time the government suppressed it. She then reveals she was close to discovering it, but was threatened that she would be killed if she published it.

She was found dead shortly after this 2022 interview. It was ruled a “suicide” but no investigation details were made public and British intelligence officer Franc Milburn testified before Congress in 2023 that her death was not a suicide. She also said this a few months before her death: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not.”

What is going on? Is our own government murdering scientists whose research and discoveries (i.e. free energy) threaten the profits of corporations and billionaires?

Look, researchers being killed is super weird but let's not be retarded here.

That video clip never explicitly mentions anti-gravity.

Btw people have been researching how gravity works for a while now, there is no theoretical model for anti-gravity, even a theoretical partical that might be responsible for gravity, the graviton, isn't possible to detect with our current understanding of physics, and supposedly would take a detector the size of jupiter to detect one per year, if it's even possible.

My argument is just that at this point theoretical physics accounts for everything that happens except for the most extreme conditions, so I don't expect someone to have tinkered with something on their own and discovered anti-gravity. There would be a theoretical basis for this first. And if there was a theoretical discovery it would be published or leak and there would be a lot of noise about this in the science community.

And I never want to hear retards rambling about "free energy" that's just a nonsense buzzword to get clicks from uneducated burgers.

Purdue Pharma settlement is an insult to human life

As of May 1, 2026, the Purdue Pharma settlement took effect, dissolving the company to create a new public-interest entity, Knoa Pharma, which is supposed to combat the opioid crisis. This followed the final criminal sentencing. The current CEO had admitted the company gave kickbacks to doctors and deceived government drug regulators regarding the safety of Oxycontin.

According to the Associated Press, the judge appeared to be on the verge of tears April 28 as she listened to five hours of testimony from families who lost loved ones to the opioid epidemic, as well as those who have struggled with opioid use disorder after being prescribed Oxycontin. This was the first time victims and family members were heard in a courtroom regarding the impact of Purdue’s criminal actions.

Purdue penalties show emptiness of capitalist “justice”
The April 28 sentencing represents the biggest settlement in the saga of Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family which owned it, for their role in promoting as “safe” the immensely profitable drug Oxycontin. From 1995-2017 Purdue took in $35 billion in total cumulative revenue from Oxycontin sales. The negotiated settlement shields the Sackler family from personal liability for causing thousands of deaths and countless suffering. While the Sacklers are paying $7.4 billion of their “own” money into the settlement, this money comes from the $10 billion in Purdue profits that they moved into their personal trusts.

Other key Purdue settlement numbers

0: Sackler family criminal accountability for the actions of Purdue.Under the settlement they are shielded from future civil litigation, though victims who opt-out of the payment fund may pursue individual lawsuits.

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”.

Pressure is building in Venezuela.

Unlike China, the USA cannot fully supply Venezuela with the goods it needs. America lacks the production capacity and the supply networks required to support the entire country.

The key issue is thay even with American sanctions in place, Venezuela under Maduro was still able to trade with China.

They exchanged oil for products, medicines, and other essential goods on a barter basis. After relations with China broke down, inflation exploded. It reached 649.5 percent by March 2026. The International Monetary Fund expects it to go above 682 percent by the end of the year.
Right now Venezuelas oil money is being sent to a special account controlled by the US Treasury.

Remember that the United States has also essentially seized Venezuelas gold reserves. These moves are speeding up the collapse of the national currency. The situation is spiraling out of control.

The US has reportedly stolen all remaining enriched uranium from a Venezuelan reactor.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/08/venezuela-enriched-uranium-trump
https://archive.is/TkVdA
On Friday, the US Department of Energy announced that “thanks to President Trump’s decisive leadership” 13.5kg (about 30 pounds) of uranium had been removed from a legacy research reactor in Venezuela.

The department called the joint operation, involving the UK, the US and Venezuela, “a win for America, Venezuela, and the world”.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said the uranium had been “safely and securely transported by land and sea from South to North America” after “a complex and sensitive operation”. It was taken to a Department of Energy complex in South Carolina having been removed from a site 15km from Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.

The Department of Energy claimed the operation sent “another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela”.

Any leftist capable of rubbing two sticks together knows that the government isn't run by a single diabological man who makes all the decisions. It's an oligarchy formed by the vested interests of capitalists. You won't stop an oligarchy with assassinations, you need an actual organized revolution to dismantle it.

>You won't stop an oligarchy with assassinations,
Yeah, you can actually.
Killing oligarchs would be insanely effective. I agree that the president, for a revolutionary force (as opposed to an internal coup like with JFK), is not a priority target, but it's still way better than nothing.

The fact of the matter is that, today, the left has neither anarchist assassins nor an organized revolutionary force. It's not the fault of the early 20th century left! They were better in both categories than the left of today, and they also were much less into wanking themselves into a frenzy about how any and every action is wrong. The left today just offers very little - the best it can boast are mutual aid & community programs which are a distant shadow of previous efforts. If it was evident that the left of today was building with great effectiveness, that would be one thing; but it isn't evident so far. If even one person or group from the left was actually capable of killing the president today, the left on the whole would be completely unprepared for the repercussions because the left on the whole, in the USA, barely even functions under the current level of (constantly increasing) repression. We have a serious problem where these orgs, even if they admit to being enemies of the capitalist status quo, do not act like it - and because of this, they lose some appeal they might have to those who are most hurt by the status quo.

I'd like to see some history to corroborate this assertion. All the historical examples I can think of had generally no effect or lead to a (successful) counter-reaction on the part of the oligarchic class to check any threats to their system. It seems difficult to stop a ruling class with assassinations when it operates as a class. You can only meet their organized class action with your own organized class action.

this is ignoring the fact that lenin, mao and che were all critical of terrorism (political assassinations included)
the contemporary incarnation of this impulse isnt even political though, all the ideological veneer is just a justification for what feels good
they want a moral license to kill the bad people

Lenin robbed banks and killed the Tsar's whole family, though. Like, this is my point, this stuff clearly has practical applications or, historically, it wouldn't be done by a number of victors. Direct action, even on the level of theft is obviously useful - so is sabotage, and there's no reason to purposefully not have the ability to carry out assassinations even if it's not the most important tool in asymmetric war. An assassination which fails to spark revolution, provided it was actually done by opponents of the capitalist state, is still a way closer swing than a long peaceful series of marches which also fail.
