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

Sweden nuclear bunkers: As World War III fears grow, this European country has prepared 64,000 nuclear bunkers for 7 million people

>Sweden is moving rapidly to ready its people for war as tensions continue to escalate amid Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine, reported Daily Mail. The nation has committed £7.7 million (100 million krona) to upgrade and renovate its vast network of civil defense bunkers, demonstrating its preparedness for a war, according to the report.


>Sweden already has one of the most extensive shelter systems globally, with 64,000 locations throughout the country, reported Daily Mail. The bunkers have space for up to seven million individuals, which could fit over two-thirds of the population of Sweden


>Since becoming a member of NATO in March 2024, Sweden's Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has accelerated inspections and modernization processes for these bunkers, as per the report.

>Fuckin snownigs
yeah well …

Bunkers are not objectionable, maybe not the best investment, but hey technically it still some kind of living space that people can use for something. Young people can play loud music in a bunker without disturbing anybody for example. They can be converted into dormitories or shelters for homeless people. Scientists that want to do sensitive experiments that need shielded rooms tend to like bunkers as well.

So while this is probably irrational, it's not that bad.

I wish we'd be adopting more advance filtration tech as a normal part of building design.

Luigi Mangione's attorney about prosecutors seeking the Death Penalty:
“By seeking to murder Luigi Mangione, the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric. Their decision to execute Luigi is political and goes against the recommendation of the local federal prosecutors, the law, and historical precedent. While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people. We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi. This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life.”

Nope this one's just stupid, this guy proved that members of the ruling class could just be gunned down in the street. The rational response is to memory-hole this entire episode as quickly as possible. Try to co-opt Luigi's rebel brand and turn it into a commercial product. Capitalism used to be intelligent that way. If they take revenge, they increase the sociological meaning of his act, and the hoopla just serves to remind people that high-powered CEOs are just human beings as fragile as everybody else.

>Even if he's a martyr,

Creating martyrs is really dumb, the acts of martyrs become virtuous, and that significantly increases the likely-hood of copycats and inspire other smaller acts of defiance.

>there are still uses for brutal crackdowns and this kind of despotism and bourgeois class war.

Rule by fear is temporary. Once people figure out that they can trigger a crack-down as means to lure the brutish goons into a trap…
French resistance fighters during the late periods of WW2 had began luring fascist Jew-hunters into fire traps, the tactic was beyond ruthless, so many fascists went looking for hidden Jews and only found fragmentation grenades going off in their faces. I don't know if there was a counter because the fascists got crushed by the allied forces before they had the chance to formulate one.

Enduring despotism seems to only persist in the imperial periphery, where the power to maintain it is external. like when empires prop up despotic vassal regimes.

It does not appear like a calibrated action to entrench power, born from calculation. This appears to be reactive.

On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine Student Activist Momodou Taal Leaves U.S. Amid Deportation Threats

Momodou Taal, a British Gambian pro-Palestine activist and former PhD student at Cornell University, announces that he has left the United States, following ongoing threats of deportation. Taal faced escalating pressure from the U.S. government after filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging two executive orders that targeted pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide activism.

In a statement shared on social media, Taal expresses his gratitude to those who have supported him throughout this ordeal. He recounts how the Trump administration attempted to prevent his day in court, sending ICE agents to his home and revoking his visa. Despite a court denial of his first motion, Taal had hoped a second briefing would allow him to remain in the country while the lawsuit proceeded. Taal writes, however, that he has lost faith in the U.S. legal system’s ability to guarantee his safety and freedom, explaining, “I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted.”

He said the U.S. government has shown a disregard for both the judiciary and the rule of law and criticized the silence of those who have not spoken out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine: “For every person that has remained silent, just know that you are not safe either. Is the imprisonment of those who speak out against a genocide a reflection of your values? Is this the kind of nation you want to live in?”

He also writes, “The repression of Palestinian solidarity is now being used to wage a wholesale attack on any form of expression that challenges oppressive and exploitative relations in the U.S.”

Reaffirming his commitment to a liberated Palestine, and urging continued support, he said: “Do not seek to secure your personal safety by undermining the Palestinian right of resistance.”

“A world where genocidal violence can be waged with impunity is a world built on hatred and cowardice. Such a world will, over time, destroy itself entirely. The only future, the only world, we can accept is one that will have a liberated and reconstructed Gaza at its heart.”

He concludes his message expressing confidence in the eventual liberation of Palestine and wiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Investigators probe fire at Republican Party’s New Mexico HQ that group says is arson

A fire damaged the entryway at the Republican Party of New Mexico’s Albuquerque headquarters early Sunday, which the party called “a deliberate act of arson.”

The words “ICE=KKK” were spray-painted on the building, the party said in a media release posted to X. No one was hurt in the fire, it said, and law enforcement is investigating.



The fire comes amid protests against moves by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Republican Trump administration to deport migrants. The FBI has also created a task force to “crack down on violent Tesla attacks” after vandalism and acts of violence aimed at the electric car manufacturer, whose CEO, Elon Musk, is leading President Donald Trump’s efforts to downsize the federal government workforce.

Albuquerque Fire Rescue said it was dispatched to the San Francisco Road address just before 6 a.m. for a reported structure fire.

“The fire was brought under control within 5 minutes of their arrival. The structure suffered damage to the front entryway and smoke damage throughout the building. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported,” it said on Facebook.

Fire officials are investigating alongside teams from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, it said.

FBI raids home of prominent computer scientist who has gone incommunicado
Indiana University quietly removes profile of tenured professor and refuses to say why.

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer, Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

Xiaofeng Wang has a long list of prestigious titles. He was the associate dean for research at Indiana University's Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, a fellow at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a tenured professor at Indiana University at Bloomington. According to his employer, he has served as principal investigator on research projects totaling nearly $23 million over his 21 years there.

He has also co-authored scores of academic papers on a diverse range of research fields, including cryptography, systems security, and data privacy, including the protection of human genomic data. I have personally spoken to him on three occasions for articles here, here, and here.

In recent weeks, Wang's email account, phone number, and profile page at the Luddy School were quietly erased by his employer. Over the same time, Indiana University also removed a profile for his wife, Nianli Ma, who was listed as a Lead Systems Analyst and Programmer at the university's Library Technologies division.

As reported by the Bloomingtonian and later the Herald-Times in Bloomington, a small fleet of unmarked cars driven by government agents descended on the Bloomington home of Wang and Ma on Friday. They spent most of the day going in and out of the house and occasionally transferred boxes from their vehicles. TV station WTHR, meanwhile, reported that a second home owned by Wang and Ma and located in Carmel, Indiana, was also searched. The station said that both a resident and an attorney for the resident were on scene during at least part of the search.

Attempts to locate Wang and Ma have so far been unsuccessful. An Indiana University spokesman didn't answer emailed questions asking if the couple was still employed by the university and why their profile pages, email addresses, and phone numbers had been removed.

They could be attacking him because of his work, but since this scientist's name sounds Chinese, they probably abducted him because they think he's a spy. If that's the case it does sound like racial prejudice, such biases are not conducive to effective counter intelligence, and can be exploitable.

My hunch is that actual Chinese spies exploit the back-doors that the US gov put into their own systems, rather than posing as scientists.

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance.

Houthi media say US strikes hit Yemen’s Kamaran Island

The Yemeni group’s Al Masirah TV has reported “US aggression on Kamaran Island with two strikes”, quoting its correspondent in Hodeidah.

The island is the largest Yemeni one in the Red Sea and is located off the port city of Hodeidah.

Moments earlier, Trump had warned the Houthis and their Iranian backers they would face “real pain” from more attacks should they keep threatening shipping.

Since then, the Houthis have announced attacks targeting US military ships and Israel.

“Israel is deceitful and treacherous, and it doesn't honor any agreement.” Israel bombed Beirut again overnight, killing at least 4 people.

Israeli jets bombed Beirut’s Dahyeih suburb, targeting a residential building. The strike, carried out without warning, killed at least 4 people and injured several others. This is the second time in less than a week that Israel has bombed Beirut, violating the ceasefire. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah leader, called the Israeli attacks on Lebanon unacceptable, emphasizing that they will not stand idly by.

The Israeli army claimed the target was an alleged Hezbollah member in contact with Palestinian resistance factions. Over 115 people have been killed since Israel and Lebanon signed a ceasefire in November 2024. Israel continues to occupy Lebanese land, and over 1,500 violations have occurred with full approval from the US.

The Cradle: Qatar and Israel train side by side in Greece

Qatar has participated in the multinational air exercise “Iniochos 2025” with F-15s alongside Israel and at least ten other countries, including Bahrain (F-16), and the UAE (Mirage 2000/9).

The drill, hosted by Greece from 31 March to 11 April, includes joint air combat simulations and operational coordination.

According to KAN military correspondent Itay Blumenthal, Israel was surprised to see the full list of participants published on the Hellenic Air Force's website, especially given its request to keep its involvement, and that of others like Qatar, confidential—in light of Qatar's known support for Hamas and its involvement in the ongoing “Qatargate” scandal.

Despite public posturing, Qatari and Israeli air forces are now training in the same sky, attending joint briefings and cooperating in simulated missions.

Blumenthal noted bluntly: “Qatar and Israel are now training together in Greece.”

The new minimum wage is still far from being a real living wage
ON TUESDAY, April 1, more than three million workers get an increase in the statutory minimum wage which increases up to £1,400 for a 35-hour working week. In an ambiguously worded statement, the Chancellor said the increase marked “a significant step” in achieving the election manifesto pledge of a “genuine living wage for working people.” In real cash terms the 6.7 per cent rise will mean people on the top rate — for young people, apprentices etc the minimum wage is set at a lower level (ie below the wage needed to live on) — will get an extra 77 pence an hour to provide £12.21. There is an element of wilful obfuscation about the distinction between the national minimum wage and the living wage.

No one is above the law, and the court could not rule based on Le Pen’s personal popularity. But banning candidates from running for office due to financial crimes is highly dubious. The damaging effect on the democratic choice seems out of proportion to the crime in question, and (even coupled with a €2 million fine) is ineffective in punishing the party. As left-wing party France Insoumise pointed out in a statement, the Rassemblement National’s claim to be uniquely “clean” and stand against a corrupt establishment is in tatters. But that is for the electorate to judge. France Insoumise added that it had never sought to “use the courts as a means of defeating the Rassemblement National,” but instead relied on “popular mobilization of the French people.”

Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.

The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.

Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. ST in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be st at the end of the day.

‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.

Oh right, because she was a sex-slave on Epstein's sex-island. And she could say who all those rich and powerful people were that raped her.

>China lays down the law in facial recognition first with focus on privacy, security
I wish that biometrics would go away entirely, but privacy regs are a good start.

Eventually face-id will get relentlessly exploited, because it's like people having their password tattooed on their forehead. And then we can go to cryptographic keys stored on tokens, which will work like regular keys except that it's more convenient, because you can have lots of keys on one token instead of a cluttered key-ring, also lock picking will get a lot more complicated.

Le Pen is a french politician irc (not sure what her politics are) , so is this a maneuver to politically neutralize her ?

Or is this for real and she got caught with the hand in the cookie jar ?

Admittedly I didn't read it yet, i might later, I'm hesitant because the guardian might contain too much ruling ideology which could cause me mental irritation.

Anyway Melenchon (which is lefty or at least socdem) said he opposed it because the people should decide about political leadership, not the courts.

Alexander Mercuris' take is that this will boost Le Pen's political popularity. He also thinks that if Le Pen is embezzling funds then the ruling parties are most likely doing it too, and that this would damage the law, because it would loose political impartiality.

I'm wondering if this isn't the point, maybe the goal is to boost Le Pen and to damage trust in legal institutions. With an eye on the genocide in Gaza the current political leadership in France might have an incentive to damage the legal system.

Last one is full and the worst thread on leftychan must be contained.

In recent news: Ukies done a successful counteroffensive in Izium, Z gang now in shambles. Biden promises even more money for Ukraine. Putin meets Xi, Erdogan, Modi and others at the SCO summit.

Americans have had extensive involvement in targeting, military tactics, etc. Every time Ukraine did a missile strike on Crimea or further inside Russian territory, the US did all the work targeting those missiles. That attack in civilians on the beach in Sevastopol? American targeting. The Ukrainian offense in Kherson? American planning. Basically this confirms what Russia has been saying this whole time: that the Biden administration was directly engaging in war against Russia and playing with world war 3. The New York Times actually brags about this bullshit, a wonderful partnership built between the US and Ukraine. There's no suggestion from the Times at all that this may have been an extremely dangerous mistake. In fact one might wonder if an article like this was published to further reinforce to the Russians that they cannot ever trust the Americans again, to poison any attempt at normalizing relations.

>listen to the Duran boys break it down.
The other aspect they talk about is the blame game.
So apparently the article is trying to pawn off all the blame to Ukrainians. So there will be no learning from mistakes.

They end on a dark note, namely that the ruling class in the US and EU likely think that the Russians are somehow inferior and that translates to them trying this all over again some time in the future.

Yeah we got lucky the current leadership in Russia turned out to be so chill. Missiles flying towards Moscow and exploding pipelines that would have caused the shit hitting the fan during the cold war.
