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

Am I the only one here that knows Wikipedia has different language subdomains that have different articles? Sometimes it is just a translation of the English page and occasionally vice versa but other times far more detailed and nuanced positions are revealed for the same topics. Just take those and translate them and see if you can find matching information in English sources. Ideally human translation but you somewhat can pull off machine translation if you're careful to cross compare with multiple translators. Then once something is decide as of high quality for sources being as bias free or at least accurate and held in high regard as possible try to take over English Wikipedia with these revised articles if it's an actual improvement instead of limiting it to an obscure Wiki no one is going to find. Just make sure to use an account, you expose your IP without one.

The rare and extremely decent article about the Davos Summit by a WSWS contributor:

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/01/25/jhfz-j25.html

The “aristocratic oligarchy” assembles at Davos

>Over 1,000 private jets flew from all over the world this week to the Swiss ski resort town of Davos, carrying the world’s bank CEOs, energy executives and heads of state to attend the World Economic Forum.


>Ahead of the summit, the anti-poverty charity Oxfam published its annual report, noting that the wealth of the world’s billionaires had grown by $2 trillion in a single year, a rate that is three times faster than in 2023.


>It found that the wealth of each of the richest 10 individuals grew by almost US$100 million a day in 2024, on average. While in 2023, Oxfam expected that there would be one trillionaire by the end of the decade, it now expects that there will be five.


>Oxfam wrote that this elite now forms what it calls an “aristocratic oligarchy,” accumulating its wealth primarily through inheritance and passing it on from generation to generation.


>It related the growth of social inequality to the increasing monopolization of industry. It wrote:

rural wedding

RFA article: "North Korea stages rural wedding in a propaganda bid"
>In efforts to attract tourists to its new Seaside Resort, Kim Jung Un ordered that a wedding ceremony be filmed in rural North Korea. Anonymous sources close to the regime of the most isolated country on Earth said the wedding was faked, organised by the North Korean military and involved forcing prisoners from a nearby labor camp to act out a wedding.

>The display was filmed from a distance with a smartphone camera and the video made its rounds on social media controlled by China and Russia. Only a select few in North Korea is allowed to buy smartphones or connect to the world-wide internet. A London-based foreign policy expert Timothy Aubrey has told Radio Free Asia that weddings in the closed-off country are a rare sight and only reserved for the powerful elite. Rural citizens cannot afford wedding ceremonies and opt for registering their marriage in the nearest government office.


>Marriage is heavily controlled and scrutinized by the Kim Jong Un's regime in an effort to prevent unwanted behavior and chances of escape. "Couples undergo a test and must pledge their loyalty to Kim Jong Un before they are allowed to consider themselves husband and wife", said Aubrey.


>Aubrey works as a senior policy expert at the Anglo-American Institute for Global Peace, Freedom and Democracy (AAIGPFD), a nongovernmental think-thank that focuses on exposing authoritarian regimes and advises the Starmer government on topics such as advancing freedom in the underdeveloped world.


>"The government of North Korea controls every aspect of citizen's lives, so is it any wonder that they would control marriage too?", asks Timothy. However, he confesses that not all is bleak, "We have seen increased resistance within the country, especially once one reads the press releases and public updates of the South Korean Intelligence Service." He is hopeful that Russia's losses in Ukraine and the coming collapse of the Chinese economy will strip North Korea of its two main supporters.


>Aubrey points to the fact that North Korea has sent soldiers to Russia, of which over 10000 have been killed

With all the horrible things trump's done in only one day alone, and with Elon going full mask-off with his nazi salute, im honestly terrified about where my country is heading.

I'm really uncertain about the future of the united states and right now things seem incredibly bleak. What should I expect to come in the following years, and what should I do? Im scared.

For me, it's the way I always have been, and to become not that is to become not myself. It's not even that it makes me "unique", it's that a version of myself who isn't autistic would be so far removed from myself that it'd basically be a different person.

it was a grandiose display of fascism, that is literally what that salute represents. and people are also trying to deny that it was, which is more retarded than just saying he did it and move on.

>>2127120
the other anon is right, there was a tacit hope that egypt would accept a massive refugee camp of gazans in the sinai across the border, but sisi was outraged, partly cause its a massive financial burden to the already teetering egyptian state, and also the massive support for palestinians in the egyptian public.

>in the month prior to the election youtube, tik tok and instagram get spammed by disinformation in said national language and far right shit
>the far right candidate gets 10 percent more votes than what he was supposed to
when will they ever learn that it's an obvious pattern at this point? the only way to actually """""fix""""" the problem would be to regulate social media companies which is impossible because
A) they're all based in America
B) they're the same people lobbying in the EU parliament and in national parliaments too
what choice remains for the liberal parties of Europe? are they going to get absorbed into the new fascist line? it feels odd because there's no imminent threat to the status quo so the rise of fascism seems very unnecessary. i'd definitely argue that the new rise of fascism is not supported by all porkies and it's mainly being pushed by the biggest porkies of all to safeguard their investements as much as possible.

ok eurolib, have you thought about offering actual incentives to your population to vote for you you fuck? you're just seething you lost your grip on discourse because traditional mainstream medias are not alone shaping it anymore.

you must be blind, because a large part of their line has become the fascist line already. They're certainly not turning anywhere near left.

>>2127236
>what choice remains for the liberal parties of Europe? are they going to get absorbed into the new fascist line?
I mean thats pretty much what has been happening over the course of the last decade, big centrist parties moving further and further right.

>>2127236
>it feels odd because there's no imminent threat to the status quo so the rise of fascism seems very unnecessary
That's cause you are still thinking in 20th century terms. Weak socio-democracy and progressive ideals now stands as an obstacle to advance exploitation in Europe. And nazism is required to create a non-citizen srata of immigrants doing hard labor.

DOWN WITH TONY CLIFF! DOWN WITH SOCIALIST ALTERNATIVE!
The local Socialist Alternative group (a Cliffite group, which split off from ISO) in Adelaide, South Australia, is ran by the sons and daughter of Mr Gilchrist, an Industrial Relations Judge. His job is to preside over the working proletariat, stripping away their aims and their social consciousness. Gilchrist upholds nationalist frameworks by squashing any possibility of independent working-class action.
These cretins and lackeys (spawn of a revisionist split from the Trotskyist movement) seek to funnel the efforts of student foment into nationalist organs of neoliberalism. This was paved by the Australian Labor Party, a violent social-fascist party. The ALP's legacy include the White Australia Policy, support for Blairite imperialism, anti-Chinese sentiment, support for . The job of Socialist Alternative, and Victorian Socialists, is to repress workers and a grassroots movement. This has been, and continues to be, the tendency of various social layers of privileged sections of the ruling elite and academia.
FYI: "Honorable" Gilchrist also has a nice black Volvo; a premium car insurance at AAMI is due soon – paid at the expense of the working poor, who his gavel hangs over like a haunting spectre.

Opinions on the CDUs change of heart and now siding with AfD? IMO it's the dumbest move they could do, however, in general, electoral politics of anything related to any party except DKP, MLPD, BSW (and perhaps Die Linke just because the Rosa Luxembourg Stiftunf depends on it), seems completely irrelevant and a mind virus of spectacular politics. We're in a political climate where Israeli and Ukrainian flags are flown outside government buildings. German electoral politics are nothing but fascist electoral politics and arguing endlessly about it is essentially arguing that party X has a more humane version of Zyklon B than party Y.

The unions are dying and they're all the political equivalent of a wet rag, we're at an all time low in the number of Betriebsrat in eligible companies. Meanwhile even hard-line Marxist leninists are scaremongering about Pokemon GOing to the polls to vote as hard as you can against the AfD.

The AfD isn't even a radical party, and if anything reflects the current political climate created by media companies, NGOs, politicians (who have been overwhelmingly not AfD), and government institutions actively working to make shit worse.

I guess this applies to most western governments. Electoral politics are a mind virus.

How is AfD even different to the CDU or SPD for that matter.
The CDU has literal chair people of fucking blackrock. They're openly talking about mass deportation.

>How is AfD even different to the CDU or SPD for that matter.
The CDU and, to a lesser extent, the SPD, are literally the wing of US interests in Germany/Europe. The AfD does not have this transatlantic encroachment or ties, at least until now.
