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.

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

US 'warns' Iraq against pro-Iran government as Maliki’s return looms
——
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned Iraq against forming a government aligned with Iran amid moves by the country’s largest Shia bloc to nominate former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki to lead the next government. In a call with current Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, Rubio said Washington hopes the next cabinet will prioritize Iraq’s own interests and regional stability, stressing that a government “controlled by Iran” would undermine Iraq’s security and its partnership with the US, according to the State Department.

The US warned it would respond based on its own interests, leveraging its influence over Iraq’s oil revenues held in New York. The warning comes as the US seeks to curb Iran-backed armed groups in Iraq and ahead of a parliamentary session to elect a new president, who will appoint the next prime minister.

Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah warns of ‘total war’ if Iran is attacked
Abu Hussein al‑Hamidawi, leader of Iraqi armed group, says war against Iran will not be a ‘walk in the park’.

Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi paramilitary group, has warned of a “total war” if Iran is attacked, signalling it would militarily support Tehran if conflict breaks out as the United States amasses military assets in the region.

The Iran-backed group’s chief, Abu Hussein al‑Hamidawi, issued a fiery statement late on Sunday, calling on fighters to be prepared for war.

He said the “forces of darkness” are gathering to subjugate and destroy Iran, describing the country as the “fortress and pride” of Muslims.

“We affirm to the enemies that war against the [Islamic] Republic will not be a walk in the park,” al‑Hamidawi said.

“But rather, you will taste the bitterest forms of death, and nothing will remain of you in our region.”

When Israel and the US attacked Iran in June last year, its regional allies – known as the “axis of resistance”, which includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iraqi armed groups – did not come to its aid.

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.

The US military posted photos from inside Kiryat Gat Command Center, south of Tel Aviv, showing Egyptian soldiers also in attendance.

The US military has then deleted photos and videos of Egyptian troops it initially published.

The media was taken down at the request of the Egyptian side, as it provided evidence for the presence of the Egyptian military on Israeli soil, Israeli Channel 11 reports.

Despite the surface-level political tensions between Cairo and Tel Aviv, the two continue to cooperate closely militarily.

Here’s what happened today (AJ Summary)
Here is a recap of today’s main events:

The Israeli military recovered the remains of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli captive in the Gaza Strip, clearing the way for the next phase of a ceasefire deal agreed in October.
The US president has confirmed the participation of Hamas in the recovery of the remains in comments to the news outlet Axios.
Hamas said the recovery of the remains underscored its commitment to the ceasefire and called on mediators to pressure Israel into holding up its commitments to the process.
A source in Gaza’s emergency services told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces killed a Palestinian in Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
Schools in the town of Kafr Aqab in the occupied West Bank were evacuated as Israeli forces raided the area and deployed snipers on rooftops.
More than 37,000 Palestinians were displaced in the occupied West Bank in 2025, a record high, amid unprecedented levels of Israeli settler violence, the United Nations warned, citing new figures from its humanitarian office.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that one person was killed and two were wounded in an Israeli bombing of a car on the outskirts of the city of Tyre.
The ministry also said that two people were killed in a strike on the town of Kfar Rumman, in the Nabatieh governorate.

TikTok is undergoing a major transition after finalizing a deal on January 23, 2026, to create a new "majority American-owned" entity, effectively avoiding a complete federal ban in the United States.

However, the platform is facing a "dual crisis" regarding its new ownership and a controversial content moderation policy regarding the term "Zionist".

Under its new CEO, Adam Presser, TikTok has implemented a strict hate speech policy regarding the term "Zionist":

The platform now designates the use of "Zionist" as hate speech when it is used as a "proxy for a protected attribute" (such as Jewish or Israeli identity) in a degrading or dehumanizing context.

Users are still permitted to use the term in a political sense or to identify themselves as a "proud Zionist".

Using the term as a "dirty name" or in a "degrading" manner is now moderated, and accounts found in violation are being banned. Presser noted that in late 2025, the platform tripled the number of accounts banned for hateful activity.

They did, that's why they're in prison doing hunger strikes.

And the previous hunger strikers who just ended their hunger strike got some demands met. I'm just now realizing that I don't think I've posted much about that yet, here's the last post which alludes to it: >>493746
Basically they got some concessions wrt prisoners' rights, an Elbit contract with the British state got canceled, and IIRC someone from the government agreed to meet with their legal representatives. IMO it wasn't enough and they should have kept going until they got everything, but Umer Khalid just restarted his so it's possible that this tactic could be more effective in coming days.

I think hunger strikes are most effective in cultures with a tradition of hospitality. Where it's frowned upon to let a neighbor go hungry or be harmed. That's why they were effective in Ireland.

The secession of the kneegrows owner was the best thing to happen in North America. It separated the wheat from he chaff. Our guys should have opposed the war and when it started supported the South to make the war last as long as possible.

Nah.
Lincoln was essentially trying to catch the momentum of a simultaneous real revolution (the revolution of the slaves and abolitionists) up into the US conflict with the secessionists. The Lincoln faction weren't absolute good guys per se, but there would be absolutely no reason to root for the Confederacy, and Lincoln himself was a positive historical actor which is why he was ultimately assassinated by a long-time friend of his close acquaintance Simon Wolf, and replaced by people who made more and more capitulations to the former slave-holding class.

Simon Wolf was actually arrested at one point by Union forces under the suspicion that, through B'Nai B'Rith, Wolf had been engaging in treason and aiding the Confederacy. Simon Wolf's Masonic lodge also pledged loyalty to Albert Pike, a confederate general and Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction.

The Confederacy actually could have won militarily, which would have been the worst possible outcome. At multiple times during the war, they had the upper hand. Supporting them would have been an extremely bad idea.

Them winning independence would have been a win for them, which would be bad. Lincoln would still probably get assassinated, and the success of the secession would mean a massive, militarized expansionist chattel slave state to the south of the US whose influence would likely be greater than that of the defeated south. The betrayal of the Union victory after the war ultimately came from capitulations by Lincoln's successors, which would probably still have happened even if the north lost, it would just be in an even worse position.

Slavery was living on borrowed time at that point and was being replaced worldwide by capitalist production. American historians sometimes call the Civil War the Second American Revolution, emphasizing that the First American Revolution had largely skipped over the South in its effects. The Second American Revolution simply concluded unfinished business. Even if the Confederacy had won the war the relentless march of materialist development would have ended slavery eventually. The North's economic system proved superior at industrial warfare and this capacity was only going to improve over time.
