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 wonder if the left wing of capital even considers thought like this to be a problem. personally boycotting a company because you take moral issue with their actions is fine, but this idea that any revolutionary change will be achieved through just one more boycott bro, just one more election, one more piece of activism, is so delusional to me. i think that’s why these people come across as so disconnected from real life and why the left (mostly liberals) has an image of people being disconnected from how people interact with the world around them

the point of boycotting isn't to boycott everything produced through exploitation. Boycotting is meant to target particularly egregious producers. Like people collaborating in a genocide. It's not meant to target literally every single capitalist organization. That's obviously a non viable strategy. Why are you playing dumb?

it's not placing consumption over production because it's not mutually exclusive with revolution. you're just playing dumb and pretending it's mutually exclusive because you're an obstinate little shit who wants to defend his genocide treats with "actually I'm placing production over consumption"

It's slightly hyperbolic but they will have to go through extremely expensive processes to vet them for everything from "human rights abuses in the supply chain" to "illegal subsidies" and there is a clear understand than any EU investigation that is opened will automatically be found against China and the regulators in charge here are quite open about the end goal being to shutter Chinese business in the EU, end tenders to Chinese firms and reverse/revoke business agreements.

It's mostly that Indian foreign policy correctly reads the fact that the US will give India anything to keep them onside "against China".

This is just the EU and US shooting themselves in the foot. EU and US could have motivated China to cut off Russia if they opened their markets more but they didn't.

White Nationalists work hand-in-hand with other racial separatists like Black Nationalists and Zionists. Zionists want Jews to feel unsafe in the US, Europe and Australia, so that they will go to Israel and fight. They love what neo-Nazis are doing. Socialists, on the other hand, actually threaten their wallet by enacting workers rights and community building. The far-right are too strategically bankrupt to endorse anything smarter than Siegefaggotry, which just kills a few people and changes nothing. The result of a fundamentally broken analysis of society.

The development could further dim prospects for an early end to the strikes.

In huge police raids, Australian teenagers arrested on vague “terrorism” charges
The raids—the largest for a decade—were conducted despite police admitting there was no evidence of any specific plans, locations, times or targets for a terrorist act. Instead, Australian Federal Police (AFP) Deputy Commissioner Krissy Barrett said investigations had revealed a “network” of people who share a “similar violent extremist ideology.” This common “ideology” was not named, but clearly the accusation was directed at identification with Islamic belief.

While many remain provocative though peaceful, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and divestment by their institutions from companies with ties to Israel, hundreds of students and outside protesters have been arrested, and there have been some fierce clashes with police. At least 100 more students were arrested overnight into Friday, mostly at Emerson College in Boston, while two dozen were taken into custody at Ohio State University.

FCC votes to bring back Obama-era 'net neutrality' rules that were repealed under Trump
The vote means that broadband services will be treated as Title II telecommunications services, a category of federal law that originally referred to phone networks to ensure they were nondiscriminatory. It makes the internet closer to an essential service, like power or water. “Broadband access to the Internet is a critical conduit that is essential for modern life,” Anna Gomez, a Democratic appointee to the commission, said in a statement.

The truth behind Labour’s plans to ‘renationalise’ rail
LABOUR’S plans to renationalise the rail firms by taking over the train operating companies (TOCs) as their contracts come to an end is a big deal. These are privately run but very heavily publicly subsidised companies that want to pump cash out of the government and passengers and then pump it into their investors’ hands. They are so keen to get the cash that they are rubbish at running the railways. Renationalising them is a good idea. But if you want to know how some rail privatisation will continue even after Labour’s plans — and how it will continue to squeeze private cash out of public services, it’s worth having a look at the annual accounts of Eversholt UK Rails Ltd, which were published to zero media interest at the end of last month. The newspapers weren’t interested in the company’s accounts, even though they showed the movement of millions of pounds from the taxpayer to a Hong Kong billionaire’s company. Passengers also won’t generally know Eversholt even exists, which is part of the trick of privatisation.

Why do Marxists use the term "civilization" when the term is rooted in Hobbes' belief that human beings are naturally barbaric and are kept in check through "civilization"? Meanwhile, Marx seems to believe that human beings' default is rather altruistic and that capitalism alienated human beings into barbarism, therefore taking on Locke's belief.

Marxism is at its base a modernist framework and it does contain a significant amount of baggage from the era it comes from. Lots of Marxists have interrogated this, but many Marxists are engaged in book worship that prevents them from critically reading Marx's ideas despite Marx himself being fully aware that his knowledge and analysis was limited and subject to historical biases.

"Civilization" is just used to mean "societies based around permanent settlements, especially cities."

It's used to differentiate "city builder" societies from nomadic herdsmen and hunter-gatherers.

It's been used in a somewhat charged way in the past (that "uncivilized" peoples were backwards, wild, savage and lawless), but its still a fairly useful anthropological term.
