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.

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.

Suicide bomber kills at least 22 in Greek Orthodox church in Syria during Divine Liturgy

DWEIL’A, Syria (AP) — A suicide bomber in Syria opened fire then detonated an explosive vest inside a Greek Orthodox church filled with people praying on Sunday, killing at least 22 and wounding 63 others, state media reported.

The attack took place in Dweil’a on the outskirts of Damascus inside the Mar Elias Church, according to state media SANA, citing the Health Ministry for the toll of dead and wounded. Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were at least 19 peopled killed and dozens wounded, but did not give exact numbers. Some local media reported that children were among the casualties.

The attack on the church was the first of its kind in Syria in years, and comes as Damascus under its de facto Islamist rule is trying to win the support of minorities. As President Ahmad al-Sharaa struggles to exert authority across the country, there have been concerns about the presence of sleeper cells of extremist groups in the war-torn country.

No group immediately claimed responsibility Sunday. Syrian Interior Ministry spokesman Noureddine Al-Baba said in a news conference that their preliminary investigation points to the extremist Islamic State group. The ministry said one gunmen entered the church, fired at the people there before detonating himself with an explosives vest, echoing some witness testimonies.

“The security of places of worship is a red line,” he said, adding that IS and remaining members of the ousted Assad government are trying to destabilize Syria.

Syrian Information Minister Hamza Mostafa condemned the attack, calling it a terrorist attack.

“This cowardly act goes against the civic values that brings us together,” he said on X. “We will not back down from our commitment to equal citizenship … and we also affirm the state’s pledge to exert all its efforts to combat criminal organizations and to protect society from all attacks threatening its safety.”

Per a guy named N. Hourani on Twitter:
Hi Razan, proud Syrian here 🙋🏽‍♂️

As I'm sure you know, today marked the non-renewable deadline for the investigative committee probing war crimes committed during the coastal violence in March. And yet, no official statements have been issued.

Many of us (perhaps naively) have been awaiting the results of the government's investigation for 4 months now. Since March, many of my relatives have fled due to ongoing abuses. Some narrowly survived the pogroms. Moreover, my little sister is terrified of leaving her home due to ongoing kidnappings of young Alawite women and arbitrary violence against civilians committed in no small part on sectarian grounds.

Does the Syrian government plan on publishing the results?

https://x.com/DarthHummuss/status/1943441512311701780

This is in response to a March 9th tweet in which someone named Razan Saffour wrote that Jolani had assured someone from the Alawite community that the massacres of Alawites (and Christians) earlier this year would be investigated and there would be accountability.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. Meanwhile, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of HTS and current de facto leader of Syria, has launched attacks on Lebanon and attacked Palestinian liberation factions within Syria.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Shitlibs seem to think that conservative politicians genuinely believe in their bs if they're not outright Nazis who want to establish the Fourth Reich. But what do you think? Do conservatives genuinely believe what they're saying or are they just vicarious parasites who say it just so the proles leave them alone with their complaints and are actually absolute deviants behind the scenes?

It's really difficult for me to make sense of conservitism when I think about it as a system of beliefs and values – There are way too many incongruencies between conservitives' stated beliefs and their actions. They make a lot more sense when you think of them as being connected in their persisting personal anxieties and insecurities. It creates confusion for me when I think of the right as simply the opposite of the left, because the projects of the right are moreso about expanding and preserving the spheres of comfort and control for the dominant groups inside a society. Every conservative gives their own sphere a kind of primacy. I think they appear pretty faithful when you see them like this. Basically, they don't actually have any allegience to an idea, but they have allegiences to themselves and have come together on the basis that each one's selfishness is useful to the other.

>Is this policy taken seriously? How effective is it in supporting child-rearing and families?
>Are employment conditions truly that difficult?
These two questions can be answered together. Due to the deterioration of labor conditions (hard work and low pay), people are no longer willing to engage in physical labor.Unfortunately, due to the economic downturn, non-manual labor jobs increasingly require a high level of education (just as it was during the Great Depression in the United States). Meanwhile, as it becomes increasingly difficult to find a good job and the pressure of life keeps growing, the younger generation is less and less willing to have children. Even though there is now a three-child policy to encourage children, the subsidies provided by the policy are far from covering the cost of raising a child.

>Could you expand on labor treatment? and gender conflicts? What are the major grievances from both sides?

Workers have long working hours but low salaries and their wages are often in arrears. The government will not easily assist workers who want to safeguard their rights and interests. When workers are forced to take radical measures to make a living, this is called "malicious wage claim".
As for gender conflicts, it must be frankly said that both men and women have problems. Some crazy extreme feminists constantly incite others, demanding that the entire society must fully serve women, and that women do not have to engage in any labor. Because of these extreme feminists, many people who could have supported gender equality were scared away and turned to the extreme male chauvinism. In this vicious circle, the conflicts between men and women are escalating. In this way, the male proletariat and the female proletariat were so busy quarrelling with each other that they ignored the bourgeoisie riding on their heads :(

It's funny because second-wave feminism in the United States was all about women going into the workplace and winning the same treatment as men as workers. It succeeded because there was a material shift that supported it: in the '70s and '80s American wages stagnated to such an extent that it was no longer possible to support a family on the income of a single parent. Women were forced into the workplace to be wage slaves just like men and the feminists thought they had won a big victory. Curious if you can identify a material force that accompanies the current gender conflicts in China.

This is an article from 1943. I think it accurately summarizes the current situation of the feminist movement in China today. For instance, the article states that some feminists only know how to shout empty slogans and favor women.
In today's China, women who are truly involved in labor do not make such remarks. Instead, it is often middle-class women who support these claims. We call these women "little fairies" because they are so impractical.
The action you mentioned about women striving for equal labor treatment has already been realized in China (the "women can hold up half the sky" in the Mao‘s era).
However, when women's labor rights are increasingly being infringed upon, the voices of the working women who truly need to speak out are instead drowned out by these "little fairies".It is precisely because of these "little fairies" that the conflicts between men and women have become increasingly serious

What are your recommended essential books on Chinese statecraft, warcraft, and spycraft?

What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

Thank you!

As a foreign comrade in the U.S., have found China to be quite mysterious due to contradictory progaganda over the years. I see China as biding their time for capitalist nations to cannibalize themselves, avoiding conflicts as much as possible as recommended by Sun Tzu. Have read China is becoming more Americanized, with the youth embracing Halloween(with it being mostly restricted or banned), rap(before being banned), and 90s sitcoms(rumored to be circulated underground). Also read the government suppresses unions/workers to avoid Western bureaucratic pitfalls and excessive middle men. Have also heard the chinese are more liberal with their racism, though not as hateful or grudging with it and it is not as taboo to criticize whatever minority groups.

Regarding China's socialist aspects, they seem to be very fickle, given their actions during the Cold War and inaction afterwards, The chinese seem to be nationalists dipped in red. Heard from Chinese-American (who admires modern China but detests socialism) argue that Marxism conflicts with Chinese culture and is antithetical and only a label at this point. Personally, given the fact of seeing enough videos of Chinese industrial workers getting crushed and maimed, it seems socialism is only an aesthetic at this point with the poor work conditions.

Overall, see China as the lesser of many evils not a savior

Since June 2024, we have been building a communist encyclopedia, Revolupedia, to provide easily-understood explanations to Marxist theory and allow for further study.

Overtime, our project and community has expanded to maintain hundreds of articles, a library of texts from Marxist thinkers, and detailed quotations.

We welcome all communists to join our effort to build a revolutionary compendium, whether anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist or Maoist!

Ok I'm assuming you are arguing in good faith, and that you think you are only being consistent within your worldview.

However there is the neo-con conundrum.

If you criticize one of the designated enemies in the "neo-con hall of threats" they somehow become immune to any criticism you make against them and you also have agreed with their agenda. Even-though that was not your intention. No matter how much you protest, you get counted as consenting to their wretched warmonger causes.

Your strategy might even have been to undermine neocon political capital by equating them with their designated enemies. The neocons have figured out to hack this strategy and gain political energy from you if you do.

The neocons are very basic imperialists at heart. They operated on the economic circuit of investing into means of military domination that gets a return on investment every-time they manage too loot another country, by toppling governments or bombing countries to rubble. (Tangent: They are increasingly failing in their efforts to do so and every-time they invest into means of military domination, they cannibalize the "western host". Imperialism is causing losses )

They seek to imperialize the world, and they figured out a trick to convert every criticism you have of countries in their crosshairs into a virtue matrix that justifies what they are doing as a holy crusade to bring morality to the heathens. (Except they have updated the rhetoric). Take for example Afghanistan before the 20 year neocon forever-war (they labeled "war on terror") , that was ruled by the Taliban and you could probably make a reasonable criticism that it wasn't democratic, and then the neocon hijacked this for their war mongering: By pretending to bring freedom and democracy to Afghanistan. We all know how that story turned out. Trillions of dollars set on fire, millions dead, and the Taliban still rule Afghanistan.

I don't know how to "break the spell".
Maybe accusing the neocons as the threat might work. Like that drone-container attack on Russia's nuclear triad, that threatened our security by destabilizing the nuclear weapons balance.
Maybe blaming the neocons for all the faults in Russian, Chinese, Iranian,… societies could work. For example Iran lacks religous freedoms, and the neocons can be blamed Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Interesting idea actually. Knowledge bases have a propensity to suffer from the 'I'm the embodiment of truth' syndrome.

Without the assertion of 'Tha Truth' a opinionpedia can form. Let ideological currents be renamed to thought-collectives. And every such thought-collective can curate it's opinionated version of the pedia. If an article has several entries by multiple thought-collectives the reader can switch between them or access a diff-view that highlights opinion differences/agreements.

Not as a philosophical stance, objective reality exists after-all, but as a rejection of arbiters of truth. Because arbitration powers rarely coincides with an interest in objective reality.

How does the left reckon with the fact that Leftists called this a "racist nazi conspiracy theory" for decades, and defended and frankly elements of the left, even protected the rapists and pedophiles, from justice, for a long time?
Now we have evidence of these gangs stretching back decades, arguably to the 1960s. Countless rapes, some estimates over a million, and the left was just like "nah it's racist bullshit by gammon reactionaries and conservative police".
The left has tried to deflect so much from the fact that yes, the left actually did spend decades, protecting rape gangs, because it looked bad from an identity politics/open borders perspective.
I remember myself being part of leftist orgs, and people downplaying this as some bullshit nazi conspiracy…and now it's true, there is just a deafining silence on it.

As a Leftist, this is just another in the pile of the Left putting optics of inane shitlib positions, over materialist reality and it blowing up in our fucking faces like it does every time. Were we really that fucking up our own asses that we shouted down fucking working class victims of RAPE because it looked bad for fucking "Diversity is strength, open borders now" shitlib bullshit?
Of course, .org literally bans any discussion on these topics immediately, because they are a bunch of antisocial fucktards who's driving force is to make life worse for everyone out of spite, but I know people here are much more willing to discuss these issues. So what went so fucking wrong with the lefts response to this, and what can the left do to not make similar mistakes in the future?

Western left worships antisocial lumpens. It's not just this with grooming gangs, It's the same with Floyd, Neely, Kaba etc. Antisocial violent lumpens should be worshipped and allowed to do whatever they want because they are poor or something.

It's a main part as to why I hold the postion, the modern left is just the holier than thou version of the 1970s Punk counter culture. Same antisocial counter-culture attitude, same worship of lumpen lifestyle and culture with squatting and such, total inability to deal with the reality that being poor coded doesn't make you morally superior.

The left absolutely downplayed the existence of grooming gangs and still always does this nonsense thing of "well white people also raped kids like Jimmy Savile, why don't you care about that?", "uhh it wasn't Pakistani culture, it's entirely the fault of the police!".
Reality is, Pakistanis ran massive scale grooming and rape gangs that were extremely racialized targeting white girls, for decades, and the left largely treated it as a racist conspiracy theory.

Rape gangs exist within every ethnicity and population regardless of general cultural background. The majority of a country will always do the majority of the crime, blaming things on immigrants is a symptom of corruption and political bribery as the issue becomes them and not the actual crime taking place on both sides

Anarcho-capitalism is impossible because no ideal society is possible, anarchy is disobedience to authority and free association and communism is a movement that abolishes the present state of things, not a society. If our history is class struggle then thinking about the future society is a distraction from it. Nothing but praxis matters, the strength of the far-left isn't that its ideal societies are better but rather that they actually do shit instead of sitting on the Internet all day and mining crypto or voting in elections and marching on meaningless protests that lead nowhere and achieve nothing or supporting economic superpowers that don't care about them and barely acknowledge their existence.

Go read Bordiga or Negri or whatever, I dunno.

>What do you think a black market is?
Capitalism isn't "markets", it is private control of the means of production. That's not enforceable without a government or other means of violence. You can't have freedom under capitalism.

lolno, capitalism is wage labor for the production of commodities. Feudalism and slavery didn't become not-feudalism and not-slavery when the state owned slaves and serfs.

>In the USSR. Cuba. Venezuela. And soon New York.
The food shortages in the early USSR came as a legacy from the previous system that neglected to mechanize agriculture. To be fair the USSR rushed mechanization of agriculture and did mess up at first. But they fixed it and from then on they did not have any food shortages until the 1990s when they got neo-liberal shock-doctrined.

Cuba only has shortages because of the US embargo, which it upholds out of pure spite. Venezuela suffers shortages because of US sanctions. They will probably get admitted into BRICS and that'll fix it.

New York is not going to have food-shortages because it might have a socdem Mayor. That is just ridiculousness.

>Free markets are self regulating because when one person gets too big and greedy there are a dozen smaller people waiting to swoop in with lower prices. This idea that if you just leave everyone alone then 1 person will somehow end up owning everything is nonsense with no evidence in reality.

>The reason we see so much wealth centralization in our current economy is because of external mechanisms (the state) stepping in to protect big corpos with bailouts and protective tariffs and legal immunity and regulations that smaller competitors can't afford to comply with. And sometimes the state straight up force citizens to buy corporate products. All of that is what leads the wealth centralization.
That 1 person that corners the market, will use his wealth to entrench a monopoly. Happens every-time. If there is no power that can enforce his monopoly, he'll use his wealth to create it. You can only beat monopoly formation by preventing anybody from centralizing so much wealth in the first place. Monopolies get destroyed when either A) the state gets used for monopoly busting, or B) there is significant technology change and the big monopoly can't adapt to it. if you invent a cheap fusion reaction ExonMobile, BP, Shell etc will be fucked, at least if you can dodge their hitmen.

>Private companies make money through voluntary trade. Violence is a cost. An expense. A risk.

There used to be lots of feudal lords that each had little private armies and they fought little wars all the time. States took away Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

<This statement is trivially disproven. What do you think a black market is? What government is controlling the darknet drug markets? People in Somalia ran their own stock market without a government. You don't need government to have property rights, free trade and free association. In the long run government destroys all 3 of those things.

>Everywhere capitalism emerged it was through looting and coercion.

Capitalism is the realization that voluntary cooperation and trade is more profitable than theft.

>The first step was to enclose the common land in Europe and thereby throw subsistence farmers into the cities so they could perform wage labor.

Nobody forced farmers to move into the cities. They did it because they made more money by being involved with higher stages of production.

Notably, for the last time in history in a region with regular famines records for centuries.
