/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

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.

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!

Thread for news, books, info, etc. about Cuba.

This is an issue every American leftist must grapple with: If immigration doesn’t increase proletarian unity, then it’s detrimental. An example would be the post-1945 wave of reactionary immigrants and refugees such as the gusanos, Vietnamese-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, Israelis and Iranian-Americans who live in the USA and undermine class struggle by engaging in reactionary politics and manufacturing consent for the imperialist war machine, on the top of serving as tools for counterintelligence against communist states and non-communist rivals of the trans-Atlantic empire like Russia.

Case in point, the Pahlavist Iranian Americans who want to send American people to die for their selfish war against the Islamic Republic of Iran so that the Islamic government can be replaced with an oppressive capitalist secular monarchy that will act as an American and Israeli puppet state, much like modern Syria is. And guess what? Not only are said Pahlavists a bunch of racist supremacists who unironically believe that their “Persia” would be a superpower if it wasn’t for the damn ayabs, but they feel little to no tie with the American nation, instead viewing it as a tool for their ethno-narcissistic ends.

Vietnamese-Americans, Korean-Americans and Chinese Americans are similar to the Cuban gusanos in that they’re often staunchly rightoid nutjobs and anti-communist grifters trying to agitate America for forever wars in Asia to put them at the helm of their countries of origin after the government they dislike gets overthrown and it’s easy for them to support such ventures since ultimately it’s Americans who have to pay for it via their lives and wealth. A similar dynamic goes on with the Pahlavist tethers, even though the price will be NGO-isation and civil war in their country of origin. The case of East Asian tethers is interesting in that even the chuds in east Asia, despite their relatively high living standards, are so devoid of culture that both them and their diaspora get enamored by low-brow chud slop. Case in point, Twitter reactionary influencers Andy Ngo, Arthur Kwon Lee, Kangmin Lee, Ian Miles Cheong, the entirety of the Falun Gong cult with outlets like the Epoch Times, etc… are some of the ones to comes to mind. Not sure why East Asians pivot to chudslop, but I think that goes to show how Mao was right when he launched China’s cultural revolution.

Another extreme and more recent examples are the Boers of SA tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

the lgbtq or whatever theyre called are a disgrace to the socialist movements of all the world, theyre capitalistic zionistic inventions to make our movement look like a fucking joke to the average hard working labourers of the whole worl, if it wasnt for those filthy inventions of the liberal satan, we would achieve a large voting and revolutionary base, but instead we achieved whiny little fucks who get offended over anything and everything, and try to spread their degenerate values to the next generation and disgust right wingers who otherwise would be fellow comrades.

Once we get rid of those and many other plagues that affect the modern socialist cause, we will achieve a sucessful socialist state that isnt nazi germany.

How do we get westerners to stop using this word? It's nothing more or less than subcultural jargon that creates ingroup feeling and is hyper alienating to normal people. It needs to go. Stop using it! You don't want to be part of any in group that includes DSA members either. pic related - you look like this when you say that, except more gay.

The indigenous spectre is pissing me off. I want some other perspectives.

In a word, there is no inherent value in indigenousness. There is no inherent righteousness in being indigenous. All so-called indigenous peoples were originally settlers, and there is no special snapshot in history where it is 'right' to return to, nor any philosophical fairness in halting or reverting to any point.

That isn't to say we shouldn't oppose the oppression of indigenous populations in colonial settlements, nor oppose these capitalist imperialist projects, nor dismiss the unique connections that indigenous people tend to have with land. But the solution should almost never be RETVRN or reactionary nationalist 'landback' crap.

The Zionist Regime should be destroyed, but not because the Arab Palestinian nationals somehow have a right to the place either. No nationality has a special right to any territory.

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.

One common stereotype regarding today’s western atheists is that they are predominantly white, male, and from Christian backgrounds, and this demographic profile stands to this day based on the latest polls on the atheist community.

And as pointed out by people like Contrapoints, both the alt-right and the SJWs of the 2010s were products of the New Atheism movement, the bulk of its members being, once again, white males from Christian households.
So this begs the question: Did they leave because the churches weren’t racist enough following the adoption of the civil rights movement’s philosophy by most churches in the 1990s?

As polemical and farfetched as it sounds, I don’t necessarily think it’s improbable given the obvious demographic profile, the fact that the decline in Christianity (in America, Canada, and Australia at least) and rise of sub-cultures were heavily driven by young middle-class white people (especially white men) who left the churches, and that was back when the churches were at least nominally anti-racist following the decline of the white nationalist movement as a significant political bloc in both the north and the new south, as well as the fact that whilst elevatorgate did drive many young white atheist men into further reactionary politics (e.g., the “redpill”, incels, scientific racism, transphobia, etc…) the reactionary streak was there since the beginning as the “four horsemen” used bait-and-switch tactics in their writings to sell the message during the GWOT era: “You don’t need to be a fundamentalist Christian to support another crusade in Iraq”, as well as the universalist civilisational rhetoric. and that was long before the “horsemen” like Harris and Dawkins began to promote a particularist view of the west as it becomes clear that its hegemony is being challenged by nominally non-liberal countries like Russia and China.

There’s also the fact that Christianity in America and elsewhere in what made up old Christendom hasn’t gained any more followers outside of mass immigration as seen how churches across Europe and elsewhere in north America and Australia need to import priests to fill the roles of the clergy as white people there don’t wanna work in churches. While it can be argued that much of it is to do with how Christianity’s universalism is clashing with the increasing particularism of white people who only want Christianity if it affirms white identitarianism, that still wouldn’t support tPost too long.
