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.

Here I think is a good question because even if propaganda led people to believe certain things, I can't help but feel some kind of hate towards the ordinary masses that aren't anti-capitalist.

Like, if you make an honest mistake, you should still make up for it in one way or another. You aren't innocent just because of how you think. In the same way if you go to work for the regime uncritically, I don't really care that you are too ignorant to see the truth - you are actively proliferating the system.

But I think I need to step back and realize that once there is a real alternative dual power in America, then some people, hopefully enough of them, will be on the side of the working class, and everyone else will expose themselves as class enemies.

It's kind of as simple as that anon.

Liberals are now firmly to the right of conservatives. You aren't tripping.

Conservatives are at least somewhat critical of the system, and many of them hate MAGA at this point.

Liberals do exactly this:
>Libs will smugly and self-righteously support literal fascism
And they, being midwits who think they know everything, argue using lies, and after you debunk their lie they come up with another one. The only argument against a liberal is a bullet to the head.

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.

Full statement:
⚡️ Hamas security in Gaza announced the execution of a collaborator with the Israeli army who was responsible for the assassination of its Chief of Staff, Izz al-Din al-Haddad.

The statement:

After exhausting all revolutionary procedures, the Resistance Security carried out the execution of the collaborator (M.M.), who was convicted of maintaining ties with Zionist occupation intelligence and causing several massacres that led to the killing of many of our steadfast people during the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip.

He also caused several assassinations of leaders from the resistance factions, the latest being the assassination of the Chief of Staff of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the martyred commander Izz al-Din al-Haddad, "Abu Suhaib."

Accordingly, we in the Resistance Security affirm the following:

1. This is the fate of collaborators who cooperate with the occupation and align themselves with its plans aimed at undermining the steadfastness and unity of our people.

2. We call on everyone who has gone astray and tied their fate to the occupation to return to the national ranks before it is too late and surrender themselves to the Resistance Security.

The agent in the Israeli army who was executed today is an officer in the Palestinian Authority security service.

His name is Mustafa Muhanna. He was involved in the assassination of a number of Al-Qassam commanders in Gaza, including Chief of Staff Al-Haddad.

The agent, Mustafa Muhanna, was executed after his confessions were documented in videos.

The Secret History of Polymarket – Part 1

…

One of the reasons that TokenUnion has seemingly been erased from current narratives about both Coplan and Polymarket may lie in the TokenUnion’s close partnership and integration with Bancor. Bancor was created by Guy and Galia Benartzi, the nephew and niece of long-time and current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Galia Benartzi, immediately prior to creating Bancor, had been a partner at Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, where she helped lead the firm’s investments in Israel. One of the main tokens showcased in TokenUnion’s promotional material is Bancor’s BNT token and Bancor is listed among its small list of official partners. TokenUnion’s whitepaper also touted its “integration” with Bancor as one of its platform’s main advantages.

British Museum colludes with pro-Israel lobby to erase Palestine from historical exhibits
——
An investigation by Middle East Eye has exposed the British Museum for covertly removing the terms “Palestine,” “Palestinian,” and “Israeli occupation” from its historical displays following intensive lobbying by pro-Israel activists. Internal emails obtained via a freedom of information request reveal that the London institution rapidly altered descriptions of artifacts dating back to 7,500 BCE to appease political pressure groups, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews and high-profile figures.

While museum director Nick Cullinan publicly claimed the changes were part of a standard curation refresh and backed by audience testing, the newly released disclosures confirm that no visitor research regarding the term "Palestine" was ever conducted.

The internal correspondence details a frantic effort by museum staff to pacify complaints lodged between October and December 2024, with one directive explicitly ordering curators to remain hyper-conscious of the anniversary of 7 October. In one instance, a panel describing ancient rulers of “Palestinian descent” was scrubbed and changed to “Canaanite origin” within five hours of receiving a complaint from the Board of Deputies.

Middle East Eye cross-referenced the redacted emails to identify key lobbyists, including right-wing commentators and historians who weaponized access to the museum's leadership to argue that historical references to an ancient Israelite occupation would stoke modern antisemitism.

The targeted erasure has sparked a severe diplomatic and cultural backlash, with Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zumlot accusing the public institution of betraying its historical integrity to serve political ends. Cultural figures and human rights defenders have condemned the museum for complicity in what the United Nations classifies as an ongoing genocide in Gaza, noting that the bureaucratic deletion of Palestinian history in London directly mirrors the physical destruction of heritage sites on the ground.

Despite photographic evidence showing that references to "modern Palestine" were replaced with "Gaza and the West Bank" at gallery entrances, the British Museum has refused to answer specific inquiries, issuing a blanket denial to Middle East Eye that any erasure took place.

Yes, true.

I am very firm. The truth is that even if their cultural analysis has truth to it (like blacks in America being annoying and low autism score), nothing justifies the existence of rulership. That's far more powerful of a point to make than a regular leftist going "uhhh that's racist!" (for example.)

A Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to the USS George HW Bush carrier conducted an emergency landing this morning, the US Fifth Fleet says.

The incident unfolded around 08:30 GMT in the Arabian Sea, the Fifth Fleet said in a statement on X, with “no indication the emergency was caused by hostile action”.

Three of the helicopter’s four crew members are in stable condition aboard the USS George HW Bush, while a search is under way for the fourth.

The cause of the incident is under investigation, the statement added.

🔹️On February 28, 2026, a deadly two-missile strike hit a sports hall and adjacent elementary school in Lamerd, Iran. The attack martyred at least 21 civilians, including 4 to 6 children and a sports coach, while injuring over 100 others. In this brutal attack, the US used its new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)—a short-range ballistic missile— for the first time.

#AmericanHumanRights

🔹️June 27 to July 3 is a week that the Islamic Republic of Iran has designated as “American Human Rights Week.” The reason for this designation is that this period coincides with a series of crimes, committed directly or indirectly by the United States against the Iranian people during the 1980s. These crimes include: the attack on an Iranian passenger plane, the chemical bombing of Sardasht, and US support for the terrorist group responsible for the bombing of the Islamic Republic Party headquarters.

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

Trump Is Weaponising The Horrifying Earthquakes In Venezuela That Killed 164 & Injured 1,000

Despite being the First Nation to pledge aid to Caracas, the United States along with its European allies still maintain sanctions against the country, which makes aid delivery more difficult.

In addition to this, experts argue that not only will much of the aid pledged to Venezuela, not reach its people, but the delivery of aid is the perfect opportunity to give Washington even more influence over a nation whose leader remains kidnapped by the Trump administration.

George Galloway, June 22, 2026:
As your leader in exile I today intimate my readiness to return as your prime minister. My Workers Party government is ready and willing to co-operate with patriotic and right thinking people in the national interest to save Britain from its downward spiral towards oblivion.
We stand for common sense socialism of a kind once familiar in our islands. We reject extremism of all kinds. Our five year economic plan would begin the rebuilding of our national manufacturing base, relief for our farmers and fisherfolk a sharp turn towards vocational training and apprenticeships. We reject net zero apocalypse policies and woke identity politics. The only identity that matters to us is class and country. We believe the current Chinese model of a mixed economy with the state playing a guiding role as the guarantor of the national interest is the best model as China’s unprecedented success illustrates.
We would take Britain into the rising world of the BRICS and the SCO.
We reject war and the mindless preparations for it which make war much more likely. We oppose British membership of NATO and the authoritarian European Union currently destroying European identity.
We reject globalism. We WANT to be British, English, Scottish and Welsh, not an anywhere branch of globalised capitalism.
We would return to the Scottish and Welsh people their inalienable right to self-determination.
We would take immediate steps to facilitate the reunification of Ireland.
We would repeal all authoritarian laws bans and proscriptions and return a revitalised police force to policing crime not political dissent.
Our Ten Point Plan is our lodestar: socialism in British characteristics. Check us out. I await your call.

The year is 2026 and the so-called "Left" continues to engage in romanticizing lumpen or downplaying their destructive MATERIAL effects on working class people. Meanwhile strongman "soft fascist" (to borrow a term from Zizek) figures like Bukele and Duterte enjoy record high popularity among the working classes of their respective countries, "Global South" working classes at that (how are the Third Worldists coping?).

Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto made it very clear what they thought of the lumpen. Social scum and, in the most likely instance, tools of reaction (like, say, fascist paramilitias). Do these "Leftists" think Marx and Engels were stupid?

>romanticizing lumpen
It's 2026 and you're still using this retarded claim. Nobody is "romanticizing" anything. You talk about the segments of the working class as though they're some distant thing for us to fantasize about, but it's not the case. I don't have to "romanticize" anything; I'm lumpen, and I have plenty of experience with others in this strata. I make no broad positive or negative claims about lumpenproles; no pedestals, no moralistic condemnations, our class status is related to our material conditions, and I don't believe, from my experience, that this inherently results in reactionary behaviors as an entire strata.

By contrast, the capitalist propaganda which perpetually incites working people against other working people, and perpetually obfuscates the crimes of the rich while condemning the crimes (and supposed crimes) of low-level workers, is by its nature reactionary, and it's very telling that this is the only thing you focus on perpetuating when you come here and make your same old strawman argument about how everybody on the left today totally thinks lumpenproles are magic negros who spray sunshine out of their butts.

>Bukele is super popular
Also super mobbed up. An insanely corrupt guy whose actual programme is based around incorporation of large drug cartels' influence into state policy, and heavy backing from the U.S.

>lumpens can be tools of reaction like fascist paramilitias
Weird thing to argue while also shilling for Bukele. I'm told (by you every time you post this dumb argument) to uncritically believe that fascist paramilitaries are popular with the working class, so if your argument is that lumpens are inherently fascistic, then what's the problem? That's popular, or at least seems to be if you evaluate nothing else and don't take any other factors into account.

Marx's tirade about the lumpenproletariat, his most famous one, besides being a short part of a broader bibliography whose ire was focused far more against capitalists, landlords, etc. than against lumpen (unlike bourgeois propaganda, which incites especially against lumpenproles), was also distinctly moralistic. It's far, far, far away from the height of material analysis when he's basically just compPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

… but with that said, there are two aspects which are still insightful. First, the concept of the lumpenprole itself comes from it, and second the description of the "reserve army of labor" actually is helpful and useful and you can actually understand the situation better if you focus on this aspect of the analysis and not all the shit where Marx is seething over how much he personally hates prostitutes. Seething over hookers isn't worth shit; a Fascist can blame the hookers for moral rot and seethe over it and incite, and those who have not been relegated to the positions of whores (yet) might cheer. It's worth much more to understand why lumpens exist, and to use that understanding to create a society with more educated people and more opportunities which produces less need for people to became prostitutes or beggars.

This naturalismizing tendency of class pseudostudies is just the sign of childs' fake marxism. Learn proper marxoid science and think in actual true categories. Think about goyim.

He's pretty serious about this Marxist-Leninist thing. His demand's include Marxist stuff like the state seizing all transportation. Then the rest are Marxist-Leninist like his "extraordinary branch", modeled after Soviet Cheka secret police (and even quotes its founder Felix Dzerzhinsky). His call for total abolition of private property without compensation, centralizing credit, state-planned industry, and state control over communication is also straight Marxism-Leninism.

He is anti-capitalist through and through because he believes capitalism creates hypergamy (In his mind, hypergamy, individualism, and consumerism is vastly more profitable than supporting traditional, monogamous families). But he wants to tweak his preferred political order toward whatever kind of conservative anti-capitalism exists in any particular region, for the sake of pragmatism.

>Wow, such rebelness.
If you thought that was rebellious, get a look at their backers:
Robert J. Shillman
David Horowitz
The Middle East Forum
and their founder, Ezra Levant. Total rebellion against the will to stop collaborating in zionist war crimes.

> Unlike with your obsession with sexual gratification, they actually need food to survive.

I already mentioned that life is not just about survival. Humans have other needs, not only food and oxygen. Sex is one of them.

> You have plenty of food, maybe too much food

Yes. So? There are no more things humans need besides food?

> Maybe the incels that are crying about lack of sex are a minority?

Insels, that write about their problems on the Internet, are indeed a minority. But the definition of incel is a man that doesn't have sex on regular basis. And these are the majority of men, especially among young men (63%, according to a research in the US). But the fact that a lot of incels don't speak about the problem, doesn't mean that they are OK with it. Our society is deeply feminized and antisexual. Men, that start to speak about inceldom, get mocked by women and their simps. And one doesn't have to be a genius to understand such simple thing.

> You sound like an NPC cuck, brainwashed by feminists and bourgeois mass media.

Case in point. You’re just a whiny ass bitch to the point that you call me the typical indignatory slurs of “NPC” “cuck” and “bourgeois”.

Have you been considered that sex and romance are oversold as a way to immoderate insecure people like you?

> Grateful for what? Money won't buy us happiness (c). But sex will.

Have you ever talked to people who had a lot of sex? They will tell you that their sexual escapades didn’t make them happy for long afterwards.

Also, “money doesn’t buy happiness “ is the biggest pathetic excuse for loserdom ever.
People who say this shit have never lived in poverty.

Money gives you security which gives you ample ease to pursue gratification.
People act like happiness is supposed to be instantly handed to them, hence why they say “money doesn’t buy happiness”. They’re too shallow to be content and build their own happiness.

Sex is only needed for procreation to begin with.

> You are hungry? Just eat some cow shit!

In some third world countries, that’s what people have to resort to. Your comparison for inceldom is a gross exaggeration.

Again, you come off to me as an obnoxious manchild who doesn’t have any real struggles in life.
You’re too fixated on sex and romance.

Like bruh, this is shit you’re supposed to grow out of by age twenty-two.
I can sympathize if you’re thirteen thru nineteen and you’re getting left behind in the sex and romance department, because at those ages, you don’t have much opportunities to get laid.
But after that, it’s all on you.

> First of all, forget about sexual diversity. Men will have sex with one female through life, no more (if they don't want to be punished for cheating, of course). Second one, forget about sex with young females after your wife gets 30.

What’s so bad about this?
If you complain about women freely switching partners, why should it be okay for men?
