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.

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!

Araghchi says meeting with Putin ‘will be a good opportunity to discuss war developments’
As we’ve been reporting, the Iranian foreign minister has arrived in St Petersburg for his talks with senior Russian officials, including Putin.

Upon his arrival, Araghchi told Iranian media that he travelled to Russia “with the aim of continuing close consultations between Tehran and Moscow on regional and international issues”.

He said his meeting with the Russian president later today “will be a good opportunity to discuss developments in the war and review the latest situation”.

“I am confident that these consultations and coordination between the two countries in this regard will be of particular importance,” he added.

https://aje.news/ogpzb9?update=4524901

More from Araghchi
The Iranian foreign minister has also touched on his recent visits to Pakistan and Oman in his comments to the media following his arrival in St Petersburg.

According to the IRNA news agency, Araghchi said that his trip to Islamabad was “very productive” and involved “good consultations”, where officials “reviewed past events and the specific conditions under which negotiations between Iran and the US could continue”.

Hezbollah:

Today, the criminal "israeli" enemy prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that "Hezbollah is the one undermining the ceasefire," and that the enemy has the right to "freedom of action" in Lebanon "according to the agreement with the United States of America and Lebanon." Hezbollah condemns Netanyahu's statements and warns strongly of their extreme danger, as they attempt to implicate the Lebanese authorities in a bilateral agreement that occurred only between him and Washington, in which Lebanon had no say or position, and therefore did not approve. From here, Hezbollah emphasizes the following:

The resistance's continued targeting of "israeli" enemy gatherings on our land which it occupies, and its shelling of enemy settlements in northern occupied Palestine, is a legitimate response to its continuous violations of the ceasefire since the first day the temporary truce was announced. These violations have exceeded 500 on land, at sea, and in the air, including shelling, demolition, and destruction of homes, leading to the fall of dozens of martyrs and wounded from our steadfast people.

Extending the truce for additional weeks was supposed, according to what the Lebanese authorities declared, to result in a real ceasefire in which the enemy would stop its violations and aggressions, especially the demolition and destruction of homes in the south. Instead, it escalated its aggression and attacks, confirming its criminal nature, treachery, and contempt for all international laws and charters.

The Lebanese authorities claimed that their primary condition for attending their ominous meeting in Washington with the enemy was demanding an end to its attacks and the beginning of its withdrawal from our occupied lands. However, we did not hear any clear, public statement from them conditioning that; on the contrary, what was issued by Lebanon's representative was only praise for the American president, the enemy's partner in shedding Lebanese blood, which encouraged the enemy to continue its attacks and violations.

The Lebanese authorities have placed themselves in a dangerous predicament by choosing to be captured in a single shameful photo with representatives of a usurping, illegitimate entity that violates its land and sovereignty and continues to kill its people, and by following paths that legitimize this enemy's attacks.

The authorities stand today silent and incapable of performing their Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

🇮🇷 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

In a statement marking the anniversary of the failure of the United States military operation in Tabas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the repeated defeats of the United States are an extension of what it described as the "White House's failures" before Iran.

Any new aggression will be met with a response that exceeds the enemy's expectations, at a level of strategic deterrence.

The armed forces maintain full readiness, noting that the level of planning and preparation includes even equipping camps for prisoners of war in anticipation of any potential ground attack.

The United States must face reality and not be dragged behind the policies of the "israeli" government, noting that its bases in the region have been subjected to harsh strikes and are no longer capable of rehabilitation.

Control over the Strait of Hormuz will remain an essential part of the Iranian strategy, while continuing to allow the passage of commercial vessels, with the exception of vessels belonging to the United States and its allies.

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.

🚨 Resistance security forces thwarted a sabotage attempt at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

The Resistance security forces released details regarding the thwarted plot:
• Collaborator groups, acting under directives from IOF intelligence, planned to use civilians as human shields to storm the hospital and kidnap wounded patients for the occupation.
• IOF intelligence promised the groups air cover to facilitate the operation.
• Resistance security forces arrested a collaborator who scouted patient wards and confessed to coordinating with the occupation.

The Resistance security forces vowed to continue dismantling these networks and holding them accountable for crimes against the public.

🚨 Family of the prisoner, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya:

We received a notification from the "israeli" military prosecutor's office extending the detention of Dr. Abu Safiya illegally, and a court session is scheduled regarding this on 28/04/2026.

Dr. Hussam is still being held without any formal charges brought against him, while being denied lawyer visits for more than two months since his transfer to "Ketziot" prison in the Naqab.

We warn of the deterioration of his health condition as a result of his exposure to violence, his significant weight loss, and systematic medical negligence inside the prisons.

The case of Dr. Abu Safiya is but a part of a wider violation; "israel" is holding 13 other doctors, alongside dozens of nurses and paramedics, in illegal detention that lacks the minimum international standards.

These practices, which include extrajudicial killings and the deprivation of food and care, aim to paralyze the health system in Gaza and deprive thousands of wounded people of their right to treatment.

We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Abu Safiya and all detained medical personnel.

We direct an urgent appeal to the international community and human rights organizations for immediate intervention to put an end to these moral and legal violations affecting Palestinian medical personnel.

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.
