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.

Pakistan has now officially joined Saudi Arabia and "israel" against Yemen. "Muslim NATO" has officially launched its first attack, and it's against the only country to intervene against the zionist holocaust in Palestine.

Meanwhile, Yemen has struck an airliner in Saudi Arabia and has imposed a no-fly zone over Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi aggression against Yemeni airports and Saudi Arabia's decade-long illegal siege of Yemen.

Ireland has gone to historically extreme resources-draining lengths to secure Trump's visit:

Approximately 10,000 police members, a huge cavalcade from the airport to his destinations, snipers, armed guards, helicopters, and armoured vehicles deployed wherever he moves in the country.

Streets and parks closed, unprecedented and frequent checkpoints, and traffic jams in the capital.

This is all to protect someone who mass murdered children, wiped out entire families, and waged illegal wars on innocent people. Someone who had a love fest with Epstein.

Arnaud Bertrand - Ok, we now have the actual text of the Greenland deal (https://whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat
ements/2026/09/agreement-between-the-government-of-the-united-states-of-america-and-the-government-of-the-kingdom-of-denmark-together-with-the-government-of-greenland-to-amend-and-supplement-the-agreement-of-27-apri/
), so we can say how it compares to the existing 1951 arrangement and who, between Trump and Denmark, lied the most in their framing of it.

Long story short - which may surprise some - the Danes lied the most: Trump is pretty much correct in saying that this new deal grants the US control of Greenland.

Let's look into what changed compared to the 1951 deal.

1) This is now a permanent arrangement: whereas the existing 1951 deal only lasted as long as NATO existed, this one "does not have an end date and may only be amended by mutual consent."

It even survives a hypothetical future independence of Greenland: in that event, Denmark and Greenland must ensure that the independent Greenlandic state "affirmatively assume[s] all of the rights and obligations of the Kingdom of Denmark specified in this Agreement."

2) In the 1951 agreement, the US could set up bases only where both governments agreed, and only on the basis of NATO planning. The new deal locks in three bases: the US can "modernize and expand its activities" at Pituffik, its only base in Greenland until now, and "shall be allowed to establish an additional Defense Area at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig." Further bases beyond these 3 can be justified by the defense of "the American continent," a US interest rather than a NATO one.

Also, quite subtle but this is interesting: Article IV(iii) says  that "the United States may establish additional defense areas in Greenland" and that consultations are then held "to decide implementation details based on mutual agreement." What this means is that the principle of a new base is automatically granted and only the implementation details require agreement.

Article VII also gives the US "the right to raise concerns regarding construction, or change of use" of any building near a US base, after which the parties decide together what to do. Which meansPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Dockworkers Unions in Six Countries Announce Day of Strikes and Protests Against War and Genocide
Unions representing workers at 40 ports in  Europe and the Mediterranean are calling for an international day of action on October 30.
By Sarah Lazare | July 31, 2026
This article is a joint publication of Workday Magazine and In These Times.

Dockworkers unions in France, Greece, Basque Country, Turkey, Morocco, and Italy are calling an international day of action "against war and militarization" on October 30. They are demanding an end to "the genocide of the Palestinian people" and the "US-Israeli wars of aggression in the Middle East and against Iran."

"Each union will decide the most appropriate form of mobilization according to its national circumstances, starting from strike action and from a shared commitment to prevent the loading of death and destruction," reads a joint statement from the unions, which was sent to Workday Magazine and In These Times on July 31.

Together, the unions represent workers at 40 ports in Europe and the Mediterranean, according to the statement. Their call for an escalation emerged from a meeting of the port workers unions held in Istanbul in May. The announcement also expresses "full solidarity with the peoples of Cuba, Venezuela and Sudan," and declares that "ports must not be used for the transport of arms, ammunition, military equipment or troops destined for war zones."

"No to the war economy, government rearmament plans, and the project of militarization of ports and strategic infrastructure from [the] EU," the unions assert in their statement. "Public resources must be used to meet people's social needs, not to finance war." Signatories include CGT FNPD in France, ENEDEP in Greece, LAB in Basque Country, LIMAN-IS in Turkey, ODT in Morocco, and ORSA Porti and USB in Italy.

Since October 2023, Palestinian trade unionists have repeatedly called on union members around the world to go on strike and refuse to handle arms shipments to Israel, to protest the latter's military campaign in Gaza, which has been denounced as a genocide by leading human rights groups and scholars. (The United States has provided crucial political and financial support to Israel.) On April 5, 2025, the General Federation of Trade Unions in Gaza appealed to unionists to ​"create real pressure to stop this dirty war." Dockworkers have played a spiPost too long.

The verses talk about when "all Israel will be saved". In their eschatology it is God who brings them back in full. Of course there was always a remnant left after every exile, but the point is they were supposed to wait for God to bring them back. Now they say it was promised thousands of years ago, but that was a conditional promise that was broken first when the northern kingdom split from Judah. Then came the several exiles for disobedience. It's their book and they don't even know it.

From Palestinian Youth Movement:
"📍United Nations Headquarters
📅 September 24, 2026
⏰ TO BE ANNOUNCED

GENOCIDAL WAR CRIMINAL BENJAMIN NETANYAHU is coming to New York City to address the UN Headquarters for the General Assembly.

The primary architect behind the ongoing genocide on Gaza and the violent annexation of the West Bank, Benjamin Netanyahu will take the stage at the UN and attempt to legitimize his atrocities and his genocidal settler colonial state before the international community.

Netanyahu will be met with resistance and refusal! His presence demands mobilization. As he enters the UN to whitewash his crimes and manufacture consent for the ongoing genocide of our people, we will take to the streets to expose him and reject Zionism.

WE WILL NEVER ABANDON GAZA - Join us in the streets on SEPTEMBER 24 to stand with Palestine, reject these zionist war criminals, and demand that Israel be brought to justice. Time will be announced closer to the date. See you in the streets."

Net-10 Yahoo G-checked Mamdani and the DSA as a whole with the NYC appearance. To show up in someone else's hood like that, and flex about it? What else can you call it but a G-check. He exposed that Mamdani has no real power. Mamdani is the largest representation of our organization, our being mine. If you're a power player and pull up in another territory, you gotta check in. Net-10 Yahoo didn't check in with Mamdani, he checked in with the NYPD. NYPD which Zohran has done basically nothing to reform. I mean, the chief of police is a true believer in Net-10 Yahoo's program. How can the NYPD be your guys when their main guy is running your opponent's program?

He retained Tisch to appeal to the moderates and in doing so surrendered control of the NYPD. He would have never had control over the NYPD even if he sacked Tisch for someone else, because the police are beholden to the private property relation. That's the thing, his shooters can never be his because the NYPD is effectively a private army for capital to protect the imperial metropole. Keep in mind, Zohran campaigned on a promise to arrest Net-10 Yahoo if he shows face in NYC. The G-check shows he cannot arrest and has effectively no power over his own shooters. This shows weakness across the entire American socialist movement. I cannot say that NYC is controlled by socialists, by my faction, if my faction does not control the shooters. And those shooters can never be ours, because they are fundamentally tied to the private property, extraction economy of capitalism. Not only did he G-check the mayor, he G-checked the entire American socialist movement, as if to say, "You say you control this block, but I'm standing here selling, so how can you?" And that's because we don't control that block or really any block. The electoralism is without real power.

Zohran, due to his position, and in order to save face, can never acknowledge that he doesn't control his shooters. His admin will peddle whatever excuse for this that they can. It is their position, it is how they must operate. But we should be open and honest about the limitations of electoral power in this capitalist controlled country. Being open about this only benefits our cause, only if our cause goes beyond the reformist politics of the rightist faction of the DSA. As the limits of electoralism are reached, the need for actual revolutionary politics becomes apparent. If the excuse is that Zohran cannot do anything about the NYPD Post too long.

Keeping this fight confined to chan culture is a mistake. These individuals need to be ousted and publicly shamed in the broader leftist ecosystem. I'm certain there are plenty of socialists, communists, and anarchists who would be horrified to know this kind of stuff is allowed to take root in spaces meant for anti-capitalist discussion. We owe it to one another to sound the alarm loudly and relentlessly.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 72,700. 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 900 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 involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

Renewed US/Israeli attacks on Iran led to the destruction of multiple US bases in west Asia and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The US mercenary front called the GHF has reportedly disbanded.

PYM:
In a new interview airing on CBS, Benjamin Netanyahu openly boasts about Israel's ability to take down the reputation and standing of anyone by simply hacking into their phone. Netanyahu threatens the host: "You're not immune either."

For years, Israel has used spyware to penetrate, surveil, and compromise the devices of individuals it identifies as threats to its propaganda war around the world. This infiltration, which violates both national and international laws, is used to demonize targeted individuals and organizations, or in Netanyahu's words, to "paint them as monsters."

Israel is a rogue state that acts with flagrant disregard to international law and conventions. For confirmation, look no further than the public statements of its highest ranking officials.

THREE YEARS OF GENOCIDE. THREE YEARS OF RESISTANCE.

📍 New York City Hall
🗓️ October 7, 2026
⏰ 4:00pm

October 7th marks three years of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, one of the deadliest ongoing and globally broadcasted massacres in modern history.

October 7th marks three years since resistance against imperialism changed the fate of our world forever.

In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned on promises to the Palestine movement. He has betrayed his own alleged values, failing to make those promises a reality. Instead, he has repeatedly capitulated to zionist pressure: Criminalizing protests against the sale of stolen Palestinian land in New York City through the passage of the NYC Council Bill Intro 1-B; allowing the NYPD to surveil, arrest, and violently suppress protests against these illegal land sales; and most recently, pledging $1 million tax dollars to the "Strategy to Combat Anti-Semitism" which will provide funding for zionist propagandist groups such as JCRC-NY; and security infrastructure for zionist synagogues which host illegal real estate sales of stolen Palestinian land to expand settlements.

The Mayor's claim of solidarity with the Palestinian people is meaningless when it is followed by no action and capitulation to zionist pressure.

🇵🇸 Join us on October 7th at 4pm outside City Hall to hear the student movement's demands to the Mayor of New York City, one of two institutional authorities over the CUNY Board of Trustees.
🇵🇸 Join us to honor our martyrs, prisoners, and liberators, and to remind New York City that we will not rest until the complete liberation of the Palestinian people.

The bourgeois military theorist Clausewitz, although he exaggerated the uncertainty of war, holding that "war, whether in its objective nature or in its subjective nature, resembles gambling," and that in war "everything often appears as in a fog and under moonlight, the outlines greatly enlarged and the shapes becoming strange and peculiar" (On War, vol. 1, pp. 41, 121), nevertheless, by analyzing a large number of war events in the history of war, drew many conclusions of lawfulness about the contradictory movement of war and the methods of guiding war, and especially, on the question of the relation between war and politics, attained a cognition of lawfulness that his predecessors had not attained. It can be seen that the laws of war can be known.
Clausewitz posits that war is unknowable. That's damning fall from science into idealism.

>War is the continuation of political intercourse by another means, and this political intercourse is not interrupted by the outbreak of war. Politics is the whole, and war is only a part of this whole. Because war serves politics, and because political factors have a decisive influence on the formulation of war plans and campaign plans, the military viewpoint must therefore be subordinate to the political viewpoint, and the political viewpoint is the supreme viewpoint for determining the main line of war and guiding war. These views of Clausewitz are correct. Lenin repeatedly quoted the sentence that war is the continuation of politics, and pointed out that Marx and Engels approved of this view. However, Clausewitz's understanding of politics differed from that of Marxists. Marxism holds that in class society politics deals with the relations among classes, is class struggle, and is the concentrated expression of the economy. Clausewitz, however, held that politics is the representative of all the interests of the whole society, and that it concentrates and coordinates all individual interests. This is incorrect.
