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.

Reddit didn't even start explicitly banning its open pedo communities explicitly for sharing "jailbait" and "preteen girl" images until a few years into the 2010s. Article attached is from 2012. Tumblr quietly continued hosting a lot of similar stuff for years. It was a long time before either site actually cracked down on talking about this stuff. Even 4Chan started out with a harder line against CP than Reddit did.

Zei Squirrel - this is amazing. In 1963 a deranged "journalist" asks JFK why he won't block Soviet oil to Cuba because "Castro would not be able to survive two weeks" without it. JFK answers because that would obviously constitute an act of war. Now the Trump-Epstein regime is actively blocking ships delivering oil, and the entire Western media class launders it as perfectly normal and just. They're literally enacting the murderous starvation war policy going back to the start of the revolution, and the entire world is just sitting there and looking at it while the Western media and political class launders it and salivates over how great and awesome it is as they talk about "human rights" and "sovereignty".

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.

Israeli forces fired over 900 bullets to kill Gaza medics in 2025: Report
New investigation by Forensic Architecture and Earshot shows Israeli soldiers fired hundreds of rounds during massacre of aid workers in Gaza.

Israeli soldiers fired more than 900 bullets at a convoy of clearly marked Palestinian emergency vehicles in Gaza before advancing to kill the surviving aid workers, some of whom were shot “execution-style” at close range, last March, a new joint investigation has revealed.

The report released on Monday by independent research agency Forensic Architecture and audio investigation group Earshot offers the most detailed reconstruction to date of the massacre in Tal as-Sultan (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/21/israeli-report-on-killing-of-palestinian-medics-in-gaza-what-to-know), a neighbourhood west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, on March 23, 2025.

Fifteen aid workers were killed in the attack, including paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), firefighters from the Palestinian Civil Defence (PCD) and a staff member of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The slain aid workers were then buried along with their vehicles.

The Israeli military initially claimed the vehicles were “uncoordinated” and later admitted a “professional error”. But the forensic analysis paints a different picture: a coordinated ambush, an absence of return fire and a calculated move to eliminate survivors.



The investigation relies heavily on a “situated testimony” technique and advanced audio ballistics to analyse the sound of gunfire to determine the shooter’s distance, weapon type and direction.

Lebanon’s army tells soldiers to act after post comes under Israeli fire
Israeli attack carried out near Lebanese observation post being constructed in the Marjayoun area, Lebanese army says.

Lebanon’s army blamed Israel for carrying out an attack near an observation post it is installing in the southern border area and commanded its forces to fire back.

The military said the attack occurred on Tuesday in the Marjayoun area as a low-altitude Israeli drone flew overhead issuing threats aimed at getting Lebanese personnel to leave.

“The army command issued orders to reinforce the post, remain there, and return fire,” Lebanon’s army said in a post on X. It did not say how the attack was carried out.

Israel’s military has regularly carried out assaults in southern Lebanon and continues to occupy five positions there despite a November 2024 ceasefire meant to end hostilities with Lebanon-based Hezbollah.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on Tuesday’s incident.

The attack came as Lebanon’s foreign minister warned of potential consequences for his country if conflict breaks out between the United States and Iran, which is allied with Hezbollah.

Israel kills more journalists than any nation on record: Media watchdog
Israel is responsible for 84 of 129 journalist killings in 2025 tracked by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Israel killed at least 84 media workers and journalists in 2025 – far more than any other country in what was the deadliest year on record for the news media.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) released the findings on Wednesday in its annual report and pointed to “a persistent culture of impunity for attacks on the press” by Israel’s military.

A total of 129 media workers were killed in 2025, the highest figure since the watchdog group began keeping records in 1992. Israel was responsible for more than two-thirds of the death toll.

Most of the media workers Israel killed were Palestinian, but Israeli air strikes also killed 31 staff in Yemeni newspaper offices, the CPJ said.

Israel was overwhelmingly responsible for targeted killings, which the CPJ classifies as “murder”, carrying out 38 of 47 deadly incidents recorded globally by the organisation.

“Israel has now killed more journalists than any other government since CPJ began collecting records in 1992,” it said in a statement.

Two killed, dozens wounded in large Russian drone attacks across Ukraine
More than 200,000 people in the Russian-occupied part of Zaporizhia are without power after a Ukrainian strike.

Two people have been killed and dozens injured in overnight Russian drone attacks across Ukraine, where strikes on energy infrastructure have caused power outages in freezing temperatures, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In a social media post on Sunday, Zelenskyy said the Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi and Odesa regions were targeted in an attack that included more than 200 drones.



The Russian government has made several demands over the past months, including territorial concessions and assurances that Ukraine won’t seek NATO membership.

Ukraine is also facing an acute energy crisis due to continuous Russian bombardment this winter.

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.

>Hamas got rekt by pager grenades.
That was Hezbollah, although Nasrallah himself was ultimately killed when the "Israelis" dropped 80 bunker buster bombs on 6 blocks of apartments in Beirut in a single operation.

Hamas has been insanely good at enduring. They've lost multiple leaders, and easily had the deadliest attacks on them and their countrymen of any group this century, but the last deal they agreed to was nearly identical to a proposal they had before "Israel" even launched a ground invasion in October 2023. I don't call any of that victory (although they did have a small victory with one previous prisoner exchange in 2025), but inability of the "Israelis" and US to force them to do anything politically by military means has at least been striking.

Yemen also humiliated the US in early 2025, and has maintained its stance of only stopping the attacks on zio shipping during "ceasefires" in Gaza, even though they took significant losses to their upper ranks later last year.

Watch | Documented footage (link below) has revealed that authorities at Iran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport confiscated a suitcase belonging to a senior Dutch diplomat after he refused to allow it to undergo routine X-ray screening upon arrival.

According to informed sources, the diplomat departed the country shortly afterward without reclaiming the seized luggage. A second diplomat later appeared in an attempt to retrieve it.

When the suitcase was inspected in accordance with legal and diplomatic procedures, officials reportedly discovered Starlink satellite devices, satellite communication phones, and advanced wireless communication equipment inside.

From AJ:
One ‍person is dead after an ICE officer on a large-scale ⁠immigration operation ​in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman who allegedly “weaponized” ⁠her vehicle.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle on Wednesday in a residential neighbourhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.



Mayor Jacob Frey alleged the officer “recklessly” shot her, adding immigration agents are “causing chaos in our city”.

“They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people,” Frey said at a news conference.

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defence. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls**t,” the mayor said.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration.

BreakThrough News | ‘A Political Defeat’: Why Trump’s Minnesota ICE Crackdown Backfired
After a historic general strike, a national shutdown, and weeks of protests and nationwide outrage, the Trump administration has called off Operation Metro Surge, the largest federal immigration enforcement campaign in recent U.S. history, which deployed thousands of ICE and Border Patrol agents to Minnesota. Dr. Ben Becker, labor historian and editor-in-chief of Breakthrough News, says the operation “was a political defeat for Trump,” showing the limits of federal power when communities organize to fight back against ICE terror.

There's a 0% chance that all the employers hiring illegal migrants to skirt labor law are GOP, and the DNC has done everything it can to accommodate ICE and its rampages. The only thing which has impeded it at all (and it's still totally inadequate) is public outrage, and the first thing the DNC did in response was offer sympathetic words while simultaneously threatening to send in the national guard against peaceful protesters. Don't fall for the framing.
