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!

>That assumes MeToo was some proletarian revolt
Just because something isn't a "proletarian revolt" doesn't mean it doesn't address real proletarian grievances. Both the French revolution and feminism addressed real issues the proletariat faced but then got neutered by the bourgeoisie. And the reverse is true: just because it's the proletariat who's revolting doesn't mean they're revolting for valid reasons (they can express their national grievances instead of their class interests for example). And neither am I defending ochlocratic SJW movements like #MeToo. Just because #MeToo targetted Weinstein doesn't mean he didn't deserve it, and Epstein is hated by right-wingers too so it's not just "They're hated by #MeToo so they're based."

You’re a fascist since your unwillingness to consider Portman’s agency here is a hallmark of patriarchal belief systems worldwide (hence your usage of the weasel word “grooming” as used by reactionaries against LGBTQ+ school education). That you call her willingly entering into a contract “exploitation” makes you a moralist. I thought that you would know that morality itself is a spook, being an anarchist and all that. So why are you being such a shitlib about it?

It shows that you’re a fascist fuck.

Unless you think all heterosexual sex is rape, then Weinstein was innocent of what he was accused of, especially as those bimbos chose to have sex with him for favors. Not my problem if they regretted it.


And yes, Epstein hysteria is basically the leftist version of Qanon that only exists because anti-Trump sentiment is spreading. So the anti-Epstein hysteria is just lumpenised class consciousness and should be treated as Qanon-tier BS for the simple fact that it’s based on BS like this: https://www.mtracey.net/p/crazy-jane-doe-scam-exposes-epstein-machine

And you're a fascist since your unwillingness to explore economic coersion and unequal power dynamics reinforces the patriarchal narrative of victim blaming. Also, you can't unironically defend porkies like Epstein, those clearly had lots of power concentrated in their hands and could retaliate if a girl tried to speak out about it.

See? I can play your stupid callout game too. Frankly, this is an anti-idpol board so your fascism accusations look laughable and out-of-place.
>LGBTQ+
Don't you dare equate my queer comrades to pedos you goddamn entryist degen. If anything, your equation validates reactionaries' bigotry. You're harming queer people more than I do right now.
>willingly entering into a contract
Caught red-handed right here, lolbert. Take off that anti-fascist flag already, your entire definition of consent as contractual obligations is such a bourgeois apologia for the current system that you can't even pretend to be a leftist. Leave this board and never return ever again.

Handala Hacks Reveal Samuel Shay’s Key Role in Netanyahu’s UAE Mission

Major Scandal of Hidden Ties Between Zionism and the UAE Revealed with the Exposure of Samuel Shay

In one of the most significant cyber operations of recent years, Samuel Shay, the mastermind behind Netanyahu’s trip to the UAE and the chief architect of the Abraham Accords, has been completely hacked, and his clandestine network has been dismantled.

This individual is not only the main coordinator of all backchannel agreements between the Zionist regime and Persian Gulf states, but also serves as a key facilitator of covert economic, political, and security relations between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi.
Through companies like Gulf Technology Systems, Samuel Shay created a complex web of joint projects in technology, energy, investment, agriculture, and strategic infrastructure between Israel, the UAE, and even other Arab countries.

While “normalization” was widely promoted as a bridge of friendship, the real network behind these ties is nothing but corruption, money laundering, the transfer of Israeli security technologies for the suppression of regional peoples, and betrayal of the Palestinian cause.
All secret contracts, financial transfers, training of security forces, and even economic and intelligence espionage against the Resistance Axis were managed directly by this individual and his team.

Samuel Shay’s role in blocking Hezbollah’s assets and assisting in the weakening of the Resistance in Lebanon is fully documented and indisputable.
And most notably: Samuel Shay introduced Epstein to Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and through Sultan, many corrupt Emirati rulers were ensnared in the Epstein network. Mossad used this very path to coerce them into accepting its demands.

The base was secretly built inside of Iraq, a violation of the nations sovereignty & was reportedly used throughout the war on Iran to coordinate strikes. A shepherd responsible for reporting its existence has just been found dead.

Israel is suspected of killing the Iraqi citizen on the nations own soil, an act of war against Iraq, in addition to the establishment of a base there.

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.

Hamas official criticises Gaza board rep for ignoring Israeli ceasefire breaches, aid blockages
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem has responded to comments by Nickolay Mladenov, the Gaza Board of Peace’s high representative.

In a statement, Qassem said that “Mladenov should have identified the party violating the ceasefire agreement and restricting the entry of aid into Gaza”, clarifying that Israel broke the agreement with its continued attacks on civilians “and constantly moving the yellow line westward”.

Israel has taken these actions to break the agreement, said Qassem, “despite the full commitment of Hamas and the resistance in order to reach practical steps to implement US President Trump’s 20-point plan”.

Hamas has taken all the necessary steps to ensure that Trump’s plan can be implemented, even though it stated from the very beginning that it “did not want to be part of any arrangements governing the Gaza Strip the day after the cessation of hositilies,” said the spokesperson.

US court suspends Trump sanctions on UN expert Francesca Albanese
Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, has announced that a US court suspended sanctions imposed against her by the Trump administration.

In a post on X, Albanese said the judge ruled that “protecting the freedom of speech is always in the public interest”.

Albanese thanked her daughter and husband “for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far”.

“Together we are One,” she added.

The sanctions, imposed in July 2025, barred Albanese from entering the US and restricted her access to banking.

The US State Department accused her of “engaging in lawfare” and “unabashed antisemitism, support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West”.

The department said Albanese had encouraged the International Criminal Court to investigate and prosecute US and Israeli nationals for war crimes in Gaza, without the consent of those countries, as well as sending “threatening” letters to dozens of major US companies, urging them to cut ties with Israel.

Sumud Flotilla announces new push to break Gaza siege by land, sea
The Global Sumud Flotilla has announced plans to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza by both land and sea.

In two posts on X, the group said its land convoy would hit the road again, aiming to reach Gaza’s southern Rafah area “with aid, experts, mobile homes, and determination”.

It added that a nonviolent mission by sea will continue tomorrow to deliver urgently needed aid.

The group called for divestment and sanctions against Israel, stating: “When governments fail to act, people organize. Together, the world is rising.”

In April, Israeli naval forces intercepted 22 of the flotilla’s 58 boats in international waters off Greece, detaining 175 activists.

The group’s land convoy, which departed from Mauritania in late April, gathered in Libya by early May but had not yet reached the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

A previous land convoy attempt in 2025 was stopped in Libya.

A truth and reconciliation report disclosed that DINA had their own dogs rape female prisoners, but that's not all, DINA also used torture methods such as electrical shocks to genitals, burning body parts with cigarettes, inserting hot iron objects into prisoners, etc. All common techniques that we read about at israeli torture prisons.

RENT ASUNDER | Starmer trial | Poll verdict | Rebel call | Gaza flotilla two freed | MOATS LIVE
Britain’s political establishment is shaking — and tonight on The Mother of All Talkshows, George Galloway goes live as pressure mounts on Keir Starmer from every direction.

From the Old Bailey to Gaza, from Labour infighting to the geopolitical earthquake unfolding between Russia, NATO and the Middle East, tonight’s MOATS asks whether the entire political order is being torn apart — rent asunder.

⚖️ Keir Starmer is under fire.
As criticism grows over Labour’s direction, free speech, foreign policy and internal purges, George examines the political “trial” now engulfing the Prime Minister. Is a rebellion brewing inside Labour? Has Starmer alienated the movement that put him in power?

🎙 Joining George:

Crispin Flintoff — presenter of The Crispin Flintoff Show and former organiser of the Stop Starmer campaign. A furious debate on Labour, censorship, the Old Bailey controversy and the widening split in British politics.

🌍 Then, live analysis of the global picture:

The walls are closing in — and tonight on The Mother of All Talkshows, George Galloway goes live as Britain’s political crisis deepens and the global balance of power shifts dramatically eastward.

After 75 days of mounting chaos, is this the beginning of the end for Keir Starmer? Westminster is in turmoil, rivals are circling, and the knives are out as Labour’s authority begins to fracture under pressure. George examines the political “ass*ssins jostling” behind the scenes — and whether Starmer can survive the storm.

🌍 Meanwhile, the world is changing fast.

Donald Trump’s high-stakes visit to China is sending shockwaves through Washington, Brussels and NATO. Is a new global realignment underway? Are the old Western alliances collapsing in real time?

And as hopes of calm fade, the Ukraine lull appears over. With tensions rising again between Moscow and NATO, Europe may be heading back toward dangerous escalation.

U.S. bullies Canada’s Sherritt corporation out of Cuba

TORONTO—A sweeping new executive order signed by President Donald Trump has forced one of Canada’s most significant foreign investors out of Cuba, drawing sharp condemnation from solidarity groups who say Washington is using financial coercion to override the sovereign economic decisions of other nations.

Toronto-based Sherritt International Corporation, the largest foreign investor in Cuba for over three decades, announced on May 7 that it was suspending all direct participation in its joint venture activities on the island and immediately bringing back its Canadian employees currently stationed in Cuba—a direct fallout from Executive Order 14404, which Trump signed on May 1.

After attacking Venezuela and kidnapping its president, Nicolás Maduro, in January, Trump said “Cuba is next.” Step by step, he seems to be making good on the threat.

His May 1 order, framed as a measure to hold the Cuban government “responsible for repression” and supposed threats to U.S. national security, does far more than target Cuban officials. Legal experts say its secondary sanctions provisions—which threaten foreign financial institutions with loss of access to U.S. correspondent banking accounts if they process transactions involving designated Cuban entities—are effectively an attempt to extend Washington’s domestic law across the globe.

The law firm Mayer Brown described the order as “intended to internationalize pressure on the Cuban government by deterring foreign commercial engagement with certain targeted sectors or actors linked to the Cuban government.” Under the order, any non-U.S. person operating in Cuba’s energy, metals and mining, financial services, defense, or security sectors can face asset-blocking sanctions.

On May 7, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the first designations under the new authority, targeting GAESA—the Cuban military conglomerate said to control at least 40% of the island’s economy—as well as Moa Nickel SA (MNSA), the joint venture in which Sherritt holds a 50% stake alongside Cuba’s publicly-owned General Nickel Company.

I think alter-globalism is the most reasonable alternative to globalism: it avoids globalism's neo-imperialism and liberal multiculturalism while not falling into nationalism. What do you guys think?

>I think the language of "globalization" is an attempt to obfuscate political economy
I think Capital is trying to obfuscate everything, I don't think we should dismiss people's genuine dislike of economic imperialism just because they use a term that's been co-opted by right-wing politicians. I mean, would we even be anti-idpol if we weren't willing to engage with right-wing talking points seriously and trying to understand where these people are coming from? Granted, that led to a lots of conservative socialists joining Leftychan but an attempt was made.

Globalism is in fact a scientific and correct term, whatever use righttards make of it. Globalism is capitalism in the stage of generalized international division of labour. Imperialism too was a word invented by rightwingers and guess what? Lenin investigated the objective phenomenon behind it.
Dogmatist and larper retards refuse the term just like 2nd internationalists refused the imperialism theory and they in fact advocated for imperialism. Dengoids also seek refuge from it because it implicates China - no China no globalism - and denies the superstition of an all powerful nation-state (like it was in the imperialist era).

>co-opted
The term is "neoliberalism": the economic and governing doctrine of deregulation and corporate supremacy. That's what neoliberalism is and it's been articulated as neoliberalism for over 50 years now. We don't need to invent new language to describe the same shit that's been going on since the 1970s. The term "globalism" was created to obfuscate what's actually occurring–the world-wide undermining of governments and sovereignty by trans-national corporate power. There is in fact nothing wrong with a holistic global outlook and we should welcome global collaboration on problems that cannot be solved at a nation-state level (such as environmental protection and sustainability). The problem is not having a holistic global perspective of the world, the problem is allowing capitalism and corporate power to escape the ability of states to control them. It's very important to be clear about this or we just cede political ground to crass nationalism, which will undoubtedly give way to catastrophic wars just like WW1.

A British woman was stopped by police at a train station and told she was under investigation after a passenger on a train reported feeling uncomfortable and alleged she had made comments referencing the Holocaust.

Police said they had received a text message alleging she had denied the Holocaust, and subsequently tracked her down and told her she was being investigated for a "racially aggravated public order" offence.

The woman, Fiona Rose Diamond, an activist with anti-Zionist views, said she was expressing political views about the political ideology Zionism.

She said she had just returned from an oncology appointment in London when she was met by British Transport Police at the station.

She also said she believed the timing and circumstances were not a coincidence.

The activist argued that anti-Zionism is increasingly being deliberately conflated with antisemitism in order to silence criticism of Israel and suppress dissenting political views in Britain.

"I am more than entitled to hold beliefs about a political ideology," she said in the video, adding that her grandfather was Jewish.

The incident has sparked renewed debate over free speech in the UK.

The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) has revealed that the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has granted two new licences for the export of military equipment to Israel, including an £8.7 ($11.85) million licence covering “components and technology for targeting equipment”.

The licences were issued despite the British government’s September 2024 suspension of such exports over fears they would be used in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. CAAT’s analysis of UK export licensing statistics for the fourth quarter of 2025, published on 30 April, found that the UK issued export licences worth £20.5 ($27.9) million in total for transfers to Israel during the quarter.

The most significant of the new approvals was an Open Individual Export Licence for “components and technology for targeting equipment” — a category of export the UK government had publicly suspended eight months earlier, citing the risk of use in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. When questioned about the licence, DBT replied that it “covers items for re-export from Israel, and the Government of Israel is not an end-user or ultimate end-user. This is consistent with our suspension”.

CAAT said the defence rested on a legal fiction.
