Leftypedia lived - Leftypedia lives - Leftypedia will live!

Greetings, comrades. Leftypedia, the radical encyclopedia, should be back in a usable state. We have more moderators, which will help with spam from now on, and images are slowly being repopulated for your viewing pleasure. The new domain has been up and running for a while at https://wiki.leftypol.org, and we've imported the vast majority of content that was on the old site while adding a lot of new stuff. I hope that Anons can come back and fill in any content that was lost.

For those unaware, Leftypedia is an original /leftypol/ project dedicated to combating the disinformation of mainstream media and academic sources, as well as discussing leftist history, theory, and practice from a multi-sectarian viewpoint. We welcome additions from different leftist perspectives provided that they are properly sourced and well argued. In addition, we maintain a separate space, tentatively titled "Essays", for more subjective or polemic work.

The original thread is here: >>>/edu/3780

>Or when they invaded Russia respectively like the Civil War
Not surprising, I had a debate with a Butthurt Belter once, and he said that Western occupation is good actually. Ergo, he wasn't even opposed to being occupied, but rather being occupied by the 'wrong' faction. Absolute brainrot. Their seething over "sovereignty" has always been a lie. They love to be raped by Western barbarians. They love to be their slaves.

Most of these nations didn't even exist before the 20th century btw, what a joke.

Bharat might be the only country that can have good relations with both the USA and China. A lot of companies are going to relocate to Bharat, which is rising as a legitimate superpower that in a few decades will have enough self-sufficiency like China to be its own thing. Yeah they side with Israel but that’s mostly due to Pakistan. Also, who cares? Kerala has a progressive socialist movement and it’s spreading around Bharat. Good times ahead.

I'm tempted to write something short about how Spaniards have been propagandized pretty strongly to have insane colonial beliefs towards latinamerica.

You see it online, they go fucking crazy when the tern Latin America is used.
>uhmmm actually, latinamerica is the wrong term because bla bla black
>uhmm actually Spain brought civilization to the Americas
And a shit ton of other things. The funniest part of it all though, latinamericans literally do not give a shit what Spaniards think, contrasted with this superiority of these Spaniards trying to act all high and mighty.

The negative side effect of all of this is that it seems that a watered down version of all of this "Spaniards being superior to Latin Americans" ideology, or some form of paternalism, is seemingly ubiquitously present in Spanish culture, particularly the more affluent segment.

In this thread we will prove that we are not revisionists of a Lassallean (protestant work ethic), Schachtmannist (campism that derisively refers to developing economies while defending first world economies), US Nationalist/Kautskyist (FatSocs or MAGACommunists), Liberal Reformist (vooting over direct action), Opportunist Demagogue (people who take advantage of peoples' fears of minorities or the oppressed to gain power), or some other variety of slimy Revisionism that needs to be culled from the board.

I have been an active member and helped build up a youth and adult party over the past 5 years.
All the kinds of marxist -isms are sects born from 20th century geopolitics. There is only things that work, and things that dont work. Things that help the global proletariat, and things that harm it. All other things are a matter of strategic differences, not fundamental rejections of workers liberation from capitalism.
We already live in a multipolar world. This multipolar world is made up of several capitalist powers, from which we see new camps emerging as we speak. There is no marxist parties in power anymore anywhere, as a core value of a marxist is the spreading of marxism through supporting and founding marxist parties abroad, which is not happening by any party in power. There are no internationals which do anything, there is no serious internationalist politics on a global scale.

It is up to marxists to take our new situation and make the best of it. To see the chessboard we are born into and play to the best of our ability. The multipolar world offers the global working class both unseen slaughter of our peoples and also opportunity to build our power on the borders between the ruling superpowers.

We must look at our own local situation, gather our local comrades, train each other in theory and praxis, and see in which way we can best advance the global cause in both the international sphere as well as the local sphere. For some in the imperialist core, this may mean sabotaging and frustrating the imperialist machine. For those in the periphery, it may mean fighting directly for victory. For those in capitalist powers straddling the imperialist camps, it may mean building the infrastructure of the international movement, helping out and protecting our comrades persecuted abroad, being the place where our movement is able to operate in relative openness, safety, well funded, the headquarters of the global guerilla war against big capital.

Other than that, I can not prove anything on a text board nor do i have the desire to prove myself to a board that is mainly inhabited by people of such low political character.

Emphasis on red. Haven’t seen one of these on here and need a solid leftist redpill thread. Keep the neat infographics to yourself, and post poorly scanned classified documents, images that look like they were made in gimp, or based excerpts. The purpose of this is to have propaganda to send to normalfags and dumbshits. They need easily digestible content.

Without the same social environment, education, and cultural samples, one cannot arbitrarily determine the superiority of any race in any given place.
From an internationalist perspective, such racial statistics are not beneficial.
From a rationalist viewpoint, a large number of samples are necessary. Besides skin color, other factors should be very similar among the sample group in order to obtain detailed data on human subgroups.
This isn't some RPG game where everyone's skill points are different.

没有同样的社会环境、同样的教育与文化的样本,不能武断的认定什么什么种族在哪里有优越性。
从国际主义的态度来说,这个种族统计可不是什么好的。
从理性主义来说,必须要大量的样本,样本统计者除了皮肤不一样其它的因素应该十分接近,这样才能得出人类亚种的详细数据。

That's interesting. I wonder about non-European + MENA (is there a name for this historically integrated region?) race theories. Pre-hispanic Mexico was ethnically diverse and had feudal relations, imperial colonialism, etc if I remember correctly. I wonder what moral justifications were used by the Mexicas/Aztecs to dominate brutally the surrounding nations.

WHAT IS MULTIPOLARISM
Multipolarism, in its most basic form, posits a world where multiple powers (countries or entities) exist in a state of relative equilibrium, challenging the unipolar hegemony led mainly by the United States post-Cold War. The emergence of China, the reassertion of Russia, the rise of regional powers like India, Brazil, and South Africa, among others, suggest a move towards this multipolar world.


BUT is it rly just Capitalism 2: Electric Boogaloo - Neo-Dengism Edition? To what extent is multipolarism just capitalist nationalism for people not in green on this map? If the whole thrust of socialism is now just "America bad" what becomes of the classical socialist goals of workers control of the means of production, and abolishing class society?

What does anti-imperialism means to so called anti-multipolarists, if not dismantling the hegemonic world imperialist system? Weakening it? Building alternatives that allow nations to resist imperial imposition? Is it just being more mean on twitter?

Bloodgasm's post, "anti-imperialism, not multipolarism", do anti-multipolarists not understand how multipolarism came to be? How it was painstakingly built against the constant sabotage of western hegemony? Do they think it just magically appeared like a weather event?

Surely they're not drooling morons, and can at least understand that deliberate planning and half a century of consistent, fraught execution created the conditions we see today.

Must they resort to ridiculous strawmen, such that claiming that their opponents believe that Russia is communist and that building multipolarity will magically bring heaven communism on Earth?

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they aren't building these outrageous strawmen out of malice or illiteracy. So what remains? Where do these people get these insane talking points? Is it on Twitter? On YouTube? Can anyone comment?
