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

I was a communist already before /leftypol/, but I didn't know about socialist internet subculture.

For example, there were some posts telling about some socialist teenager asking for money for his epic socialist projects. I don't know if had any texts or vids or audio or software done or in the works (doubt!), but he had a thoroughly detailed blueprint on the topic of asking for money, with various graphic designs for tiers of support: Like, you give so much money per month (and just that, no other forms of support), then you are officially the comradeliest comrade who ever comraded or whatever, and you can look at a picture on your screen that represents a virtual medal for you.

We clicked a bit around to look what he was going to do with the money and we didn't find anything… except his interest in financing some tamagotchi clone (remember those) that runs on your computer—with the novel feature that you can molest your monster (talking about young monsters here, you get them before they hatch).

He must be an adult now. Maybe he has a baby? Hmm. Thank you /leftypol/ for putting these thoughts and associations into my head.

Tampa is about to get Katrina’d. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Milton went from a Category 1 to a Category 5 within 10 HOURS. This isn’t normal even for hurricanes. Tampa Bay is expected to be hit hard with massive flooding all over the area. Pinellas County is basically a goner. The state of Florida has issues mass evacuations for multiple areas.

I remember the fallout from Katrina very well and it looks like Tampa is for certain going to suffer the same mass destruction. Millions of people could potentially be homeless by the end of the week. This is Asheville on steroids.

Today marks the anniversary of this war starting, except it had already been happening long before that, before le October it was oppression of Palestinians as usual and the only reason we're talking about it is because the ghetto actually dared to strike back.

>there is some debate around this. a lot of deaths were from diseases which don't really count as genocide. other events like the trail of tears clearly do
That's only because they didn't have F-16s and Merkava tanks to kill Natives with back then.

>>1976266
Yeah but if they took infrastructure loss seriously they could do more genocide. It feels like they're failing the marshmallow experiment.

> a lot of deaths were from diseases which don't really count as genocide.
Some of the deaths from disease weren't genocide, but a lot were. Settlers showing up carrying smallpox and coofing on indigenous people isn't genocide, but when they knowingly start giving them blankets or whatever that's contaminated by sick people, it is.

Krav Maga turned into a weird, culty thing for suburban strip-mall MA instructors marketing the Deadliest Israeli Fighting Techniques. But I read it's just basic "army combatives" stuff for conscripts that teaches "kick 'em in the balls" (congrats, you now have a black belt in krav maga) with the idea to maybe give a soldier and extra second or two for their friends to kill the guy (with guns). A lot of it is about how to overcome your "twitch reaction" and go into immediate fight mode. But if a lone Israeli cop or soldier is getting jumped by a guy (or several) armed with knives then there's good chance he's fucked anyways.

It's good enough for Israeli troops to cripple a journalist for asking too many questions at their checkpoint or get their ass kicked in a bar fight. Also, keep in mind, Israel runs a military occupation of the West Bank and their soldiers have stomped the shit out of a lot of people over the years.

>Left wing female president

She's among the best leaders the left has, even if not 'fully leftist'

its nice she's an environmental scientist, amlo was lacking in that regard

>>1976316
>Makes huge waves among politicians in europe
HUh?

>>1976316
I liked the pictures where she was addressing the army recently. It looked like House Atreides. I get it when people don't like this stuff but it's interesting to me that it's flourishing in an era of institutional disintegration, flux, and reconsolidation.

Im sure the Mexican people Will benefit from It but shes part of and entrenchrf political elite, nothing Is going to happen

based on the position of the frontline it looks like it was made early august, probably to cope with the fact that the pokrovsk offensive had really kicked off at that point



 

You can't just have a horizontal democratic structure while still defeating capitalism? You HAVE to have a brutal dictator and massive state control for some reason (which ends up retaining capitalist structures anyway, just look at china: socialism in 2 more weeks guise trust the plan!)
It's like supposedly communist countries don't really care about the working class at all since they always seem to do everything they possibly can to strip them of power. It's fine though because billionaires are just "proletarian managers" and bourgeois politicians are just "nomenklatura". The "People's Democratic Republic" is unironically worshipped here despite being one of the most ethnically homogenous countries on Earth and if you dare criticise it you're just accused of being CIA.

This is why I took the grillpill and surf the Kali Yuga, I accept Marx's analysis of capitalism but that it necessarily evolves into communism rather than barbarism is faith based.

Leftcoms = spread ideology through propaganda alone (utopianism) or proletariat will spontaneously come to the truth

rightcoms = clique with utopian ideal use statism to smash the state even though statism replicates itself materially (implicit contradiction)

Learning Chinese characters does require a lot of memorization yeah. Mao kinda wanted to get rid of the system because he saw it as an obstacle to literacy. Stalin convinced him otherwise so they compromised and created "simplified" Chinese characters. Idk if this is true, maybe 驭浪 can chime in, but I've heard that China is having some issues with people not learning the characters since electronic keyboards tend to use the pinyin system (phonetically spelling the words with the latin alphabet).

>Mao kinda wanted to get rid of the system because he saw it as an obstacle to literacy. Stalin convinced him otherwise so they compromised and created "simplified" Chinese characters. Idk if this is true
Gee is it true that Stalin, who couldn't read Chinese, advised Mao on reforming the writing system, or is it maybe not true, you fucking retard

>>1976166
I have learned English, but I may find it difficult to speak complex English.
>>1976276
The promotion of simplified characters is gradual and will not conflict with pinyin.

I think the basic problem is that these communist parties were forced by necessity to subordinate all these beautiful things you're talking about to winning civil wars and keeping the population from starving to death. It turned into a top-down military-style way of doing things.

Moreover, these were societies with near-zero existing democratic traditions for most of the population who were basically slaves. Imagine there being 100 million people demanding land and making up a large part of the army and having zero existing loyalties because they had never (ever) had participated in "politics," and here come the Bolsheviks who were men of action, and people who joined them brought their own politics with them, and weren't expected to know everything about communism. And (this is something Trotsky pointed out), the civil war in Russia itself basically destroyed the working class as a class. The industrial proletariat in Petrograd fell by 1/3 from 1917-1920. The Bolsheviks were fighting hard against the Whites and foreign intervention, but the majority of the population was living a brutal struggle trying to simply find enough to eat.

It's not like the country where I live is a perfect democracy by any means, and the role of oligarchical money in politics causes all kinds of extreme distortions, but there's a city council in my town and a mayor and an election coming up – forms of local organization which are quite longstanding at this point – and there's the right to vote which has expanded over the past 200 years. It's a completely different situation.
