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

Yeah it happened.
Basically, Caballo was refusing to follow his own rules and constantly stepping out of line so there was an attempt to create some democratic methodology by Comatoast, Zero, and Watermelon with the supprt of some other users, but, they had a backdoor in Krates which had been inactive for like a year at that point.

Can't believe that's you, what a twist.

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.

New attacks kill at least 115 in Gaza

At least 115 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in a wave of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, as indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas continue.

At least 61 people were killed overnight and early on Thursday in a barrage of attacks on the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, according to local health officials. In Jabalia in northern Gaza, an Israeli strike on al-Tawbah medical clinic killed at least 15 people and wounded several others, the Health Ministry said.

Israel says missile launched from Yemen intercepted

The Israeli military has said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards its territory.

“Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol,” it said in a statement.

Yemen’s Houthi group has been firing missiles and drones towards Israel, stating that their actions are acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Gaza death toll today crosses 100

Health officials have told Al Jazeera that at least 100 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks since dawn. At least 55 of them were killed in northern Gaza.

Dozens more remain missing under the rubble.

No progress in ceasefire talks

According to sources cited by Israeli media outlet Haaretz, there has been no progress on ceasefire and captives negotiations in Qatar.

The report said that despite Israel’s renewed military pressure on Gaza and an attempted assassination on Hamas senior figure Mohammed Sinwar, the Palestinian group has not compromised its position on a US-proposed plan.

“Israel’s position is rigid, Hamas hasn’t folded, the Americans have lost interest, Trump is on his way home, and Witkoff is no longer involved. He’s waiting to hear what we want, and since we don’t want anything, he has nothing left to do,” one source was quoted as saying.

On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

BREAKING | Michigan Judge Dismisses Felony Charges Against Pro-Palestine Student Protesters After AG Nessel’s Controversial Intervention

A Washtenaw County judge has dismissed all charges against seven University of Michigan students arrested during a pro-Palestinian encampment last spring—closing a months-long legal battle sparked by the state attorney general’s controversial decision to pursue felonies after local prosecutors declined.

➤ Arrested for protest: The students were charged with felony counts of resisting or obstructing police, which carried up to two years in prison. The charges stemmed from a May 21, 2024 police raid that dismantled an encampment demanding the university divest from Israeli genocide-linked weapons contractors.

➤ Defense: All seven pleaded not guilty and were represented by a team of Dearborn-based attorneys working for free, who cited deep concern over civil liberties and the state’s criminalization of student dissent.

➤ AG Nessel pushed charges: The felony charges were filed by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel—after the local Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office refused to bring them. Nessel reportedly intervened at the request of University of Michigan regents, sparking backlash from civil rights groups and elected officials who questioned the political motivations behind the prosecution.

➤ All charges dropped: On Monday, Nessel’s office moved to dismiss all remaining charges, both felony and misdemeanor, effectively closing the case.

Civil liberties groups say the case never should have been brought.

BREAKING: A U.S. appeals court has ruled in favor of Rümeysa Öztürk, ordering her transfer to Vermont ahead of a key hearing that will decide whether she must be released from ICE detention while her immigration case proceeds.

Öztürk, a Turkish Ph.D. student at Tufts University, was arrested in March for co-authoring a pro-Palestinian op-ed. Her legal team argues her detention violates her constitutional rights, including free speech and due process. A Vermont federal judge had previously ordered her transfer, but the government appealed. The Second Circuit’s decision now allows her case to move forward in Vermont.

Here to fight, here to stay: The Red Scar Mill strike
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Britain’s first migrant-led strike: an inspiring yet relatively forgotten – but all the more inspiring – three-week event that took place at the Preston Courtauld’s Red Scar Mill in the North West of England. The Lancashire Evening Post expressed the sentiments of the ruling class at the time: “The news of the strike has travelled around the world…Preston has become infamous as the centre of futile struggle, which could inflame feelings where whites and coloured coincide.” Without precedent, the migrant workers independently and determinedly fought back against the attacks on their wages and conditions by factory owners Courtaulds – one of the four major monopolies in man-made fibre in Europe. In attempting to organise themselves, the migrant-worker strikers faced racism not only from the bosses, but also from within the union itself.

“We are preparing for a scenario of greater crisis and class struggle”: Interview with a Revolutionary Socialist in Bolivia
In the world division of labor, there are no transnational “partners” or “good” imperialists, as many progressive governments claim. But the means of pressure applied to dependent countries, such as Bolivia, change according to the political turns in Washington. Trump made it clear in 2019 that his administration had no problem openly supporting military coups to ensure control over Bolivia’s resources; according to reports in The Intercept, the administration was willing to carry out a second coup in 2020 to avoid the transition to the Arce government after the October elections. This means that the next years will be marked by a growing regional tension between the United States, which seeks to retake control over what it considers its “backyard,” and the Latin American region, which is being jolted by interesting processes of mobilization and resistance.

Upon his appointment as leader of Germany’s Christian Democrats (CDU) in 2022, Friedrich Merz was gifted a copy of Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) by his conservative colleague Wolfgang Schäuble, the veteran former finance minister and then president of the German parliament. A dismayed Merz is said to have handed back the book shortly after, exclaiming: “But this is a novel — what am I supposed to do with this?” The novel in question, narrated by the last aristocratic ruler of a remote island principate in Sicily, revolves around the old social order’s attempt to contend with the threat of rapid political change, encapsulated by its most famous phrase: “If we want things to remain as they are, things will have to change.” On the surface, this isn’t too dissimilar from the situation in which Merz finds himself. The new German chancellor, sworn in on Tuesday after a shaky confirmation vote in parliament, was once dubbed “the prince of neoliberalism” and is very much an unreconstructed representative of a system whose time has come.

In May Immortals Week: The Main Thing On The Path Of Fhe Immortals is Organization And The Struggle! — DKP/BÖG
The struggle for revolution and socialism has always been carried to the present day by paying a great price in the lands we live in. It is not possible to be revolutionary without paying a price in the geography we live in. We are also representatives of a political tradition that has paid a great price for the freedom struggle of the working class and the oppressed based on the needs of the class struggle. Our Party Founding Leader, Commander and Teacher Ulaş Bayraktaroğlu, who played a great role in bringing us to this day, was immortalized on May 9, 2017. Our immortals will always continue to lead and guide us in our march to the future. On this occasion, we consider it our duty to state once again that we will walk with the most determination in the revolutionary march opened by our immortals in the person of our Commander, Leader and Teacher Comrade Ulaş Bayraktaroğlu (Mehmet Kurnaz), which is the beginning of the Immortals Week.

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

Mao said you should not slight or despise the politically backwards, but befriend them, unite with them, and encourage to go forward.

Furthermore, Sankara said we must never stop explaining, because we know when the people understand, they cannot help but follow us.

There's a difference between having solidarity with the politically backwards, and building your entire party platform around appealing to them and only them, especially when, as I said in >>489474, they're in the minority in the US.

I am more than willing to work with someone who has social views that are vastly different from mine (which are socially "centrist"!, for what it's worth), no matter where they sit on the political spectrum. I am not, however, willing to work with people who constantly feel the need to remind me of those views, because it tells me that they value those views more than they do communism for its own sake, and will abandon the cause as soon as they get a better offer.

Beyond that, a lot of what the ACP does, at least to me, looks like people trying to emulate the revolutionary tactics of Lenin and to a lesser extent Mao without understanding the context in which they did what they did. Tsarist Russia was an underdeveloped, largely feudal society, so logically the values of the Russian public prior to the revolution were going to reflect that. The United States, on the other hand, is a highly-developed neoliberal capitalist society, with the social values that come with it instead. Trying to appeal to the hardcore Christian Conservative segment of the population isn't going to get you very far because they aren't the majority here anymore, and have become less and less the majority with each passing decade.

It's weird then to dismiss the critiques of Marxism-Leninism when Stalin did basically the same exact thing. The history of Marxism-Leninism is the history of opportunist pandering to reactionaries and supporting every anti-American politician and movement ever.

Where did I do that? I think there's a lot to criticize about Marxism-Leninism. It was, however, overall effective in the specific set of circumstances it was developed for.

>when Stalin did basically the same exact thing

Stalin and friends were, as I said before, working with a very different set of material conditions. Trying to apply the methods developed for what was, in many ways, an extremely backwards feudal nation to arguably the most developed capitalism country on the planet is, frankly, fucking retarded.
