On September 21st 2014, /leftypol/ was created!
🎈🍰HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEFTYPOL🍰🎈
What are your favorite /leftypol/ moments and memories?
Share them on this thread!
>>36702>Holy shit I will officially have been using imageboards for a decade next year.If it makes you feel any better many users here were alive to use OG, moot owned, 'we are anonymous', /b/ posting, 4chan.
…We're closer to an old-age state-home than a school.
>>36689Happy birthdaaay ;3
I've brought cajitas like in our CDR celebrations and anniversaries, there is 1 for everyone SO DON'T FIGHT OVER THEM OKAY!?!
>>36689>What are your favorite /leftypol/ moments and memories? Fuck has it been that long?
When porky and alunya were made.
>>36735Holy shit that meme
It's the fucking story of my life
>>36689Happy Birthday Leftypol, ✊😜! I can’t believe that I’ve been on here for almost half of this websites existence, as I first started posting here in May 2020, and I will humbly admit that my first couple years here were pretty embarrassing in hindsight (I was spamming a lot of Reactionary Anti-Vax and Transphobic shit back then, 🤢🤮), and I am extremely thankful to my fellow anons here who helped force me to reject these reactionary positions, and if it wasn’t for Leftypol I would have never embraced Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism (this did cause me to go overboard on Anti-Dengism for awhile, but the same helpful anons who cured me of my Anti-Vax and Transphobic retardation, enlightened me to the fact that though China is Capitalist and technically Imperialist they are still a clearly Progressive force which should be Critically supported against U$ Imperialism, thus allowing me to see the Progressive side of Multipolarity, which creates better material conditions for Maoist PPWs in the Periphery/Semi-Periphery), which saved me from becoming a disgusting Fascist or a dumb Liberal, so I have to say I am extremely lucky to have accidentally found this website (I think I first stumbled here by clicking on a link to it on the Chapo Trap House subreddit), ✊😜!
>>36752>Vaccines are badmay your child never get polio
>anti-vaxxwhy do you retards spell it with two Xs again?
>>36689My favorite moment was when some MLs helped me break out of the notion that socialist states were some 1984 hellscapes that killed 100 gorillion people. Thanks ML oldfags.
Also the Chomsky Zizek wacky racer we made. It's a shame that nothing came of that project.
>>36689been using image boards as my primary social media since about sep of 23 id say? started using leftypol on and off around end of the start of 24, and have just now started to realy engage with it more
needs way more fisher shitposts and rhetoric. if /leftypol/ is still the primary reason normies know about stirner no reason we cant shitpost and discuss fisher to relevancy too
>>36766Leftypol isn't social media
and there is nothing social about it really. Please don't treat it as such.
>>36689I am very happy that this place on the internet exists. I discovered Leftypol this year and I am liking it more and more. I congratulate you on your 10th anniversary and I hope that this place will have many more anniversaries until our class finally wins.
The thread I am most active on is brg. Unfortunately, my English is not that good, but I hope to be more active on other threads in the future. I don't have much time at the moment either.
Despite the recent downfall of our beloved chan, I hope that the lessons learned are enough to never happen again.
LONG LIVE LEFTYPOL'S 10 YEARS.
FREE PALESTINE FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA.
>>36769I just stuck with marxism-leninism, like most communists ig.
bad english, i know >>36770can palestine really stop the genocide? the genocide has been happening for 74 years…
>The thread I am most active on is brgfio baseado
>>36770>>36771wtf both your englishes are perfectly fine, i can understand what both you are saying perfectly.
what chan are you talking about btw? 420 chan?
>>36775 (me)
like, I already get kinda insecure about my english if it is only 99% correct, so idk
>>36777nah I don't need it
>>36778o cringe foi deletado kk
>>36772I have this belief that if you can comunicate both writing and speaking you already know the language tbh.
I've heard the have this insane shit in the US where they teach you how to remove your accent because you will be discriminated at job interviews or something.
I've only been in Florida like 2 months tho so I don't know the US very well.
>>36758>>Vaccines are badYou didn't need to have had a psychotic break to realize those weren't your typical vaccines. That was the point: Both Leninhat in rejecting bourgeois pharma's attempt in cashing in fast and WSWS in demanding stricter quarantine measures were entirely justified. The capitalist state channeling both dissent and desire to conform into an unopposable unity of opposites is far from new.
>why do you retards spell it with two Xs again?To distinguish anti-vaxxers from anti-vax people, who just have a problem with too many addressing modes and long instruction pipelines.
>>36789mRNA vaccines were an as of yet unproven technology, that incidentally allowed for faster development and even then bourgeois institutions sanctioned some stages of testing to be cut. The only basis on which you need to reject something as invasive as an injection is reasonable doubt (primum non nocere). Anyone with a passing familiarity of how an engineer should work will recognize this.
>All the schizo rightoid 'omg the vax will kill you' bullshit didn't happen, how can you still defend it?<All the schizo rightoid 'omg bankers are de jooos' bullshit didn't happen. how can you still oppose capitalism?>>36790"Trust the experts' is obviously a moot point, especially when retroactive leaks show people were being subtly misled from the start. If someone is interested in the topic, they can make an /edu/ thread and i'll make an effort to sift through any leaked covid policy documents.
>>36775>I can never be certain if my english is always 100% correctAnon. Most people who were raised English as first and only language don't have %100 correct' English, there is also an large amount of variation in english regionally and sub-regionally across many countries.
What i'm saying is, don't worry about it. If you can communicate you're fine.
>>36814this one is gross to look at though whereas this one could be construed as
>>36813 'retro stylised'
>>36814jpeg does lose colors. that's why it's a lossy format. Take a look at how crisp
>>36807 looks despite being grayscale and only and only having two colors. That's because it's the same resolution as OP and uses floyd steinberg dithering to achieve the effect. Despite being a huge resolution it's only 700kb, vs. the 10 MB of the original. That's the power of an indexed color PNG
>>36829>>36830Batko and Xexizy were bullied by their liberal peers and people on Twitter into renouncing leftypol's anti-idpol party line.
Batko officially quit all social media later on. He was an anarchist and I wouldn't be surprised if he is still a member of local anarchist group. He could just as well be a burned out ex-leftist liberal as he shared very little personal info about himself, even avoiding to do a face reveal (very smart)and disappeared without a trace.
After betraying the great anti-idpol struggle of early leftypol, Xexizy slowly morphed into a typical breadtuber who advances class struggle exclusively by making 1 hour reply videos to Agent Kochinski and accustoms his vision of socialism to the advancement of every respectable liberal cause.
SocOrBarb maked meme videos without a strong online persona, so it's hard to say anything about him other than that at one point he stopped making videos and that's it. He and Batko stuck around for some time after their break with the userbase on our "official" (in reality boycotted by all posters and janitors) gamer messaging app server, but not for long (it was a shitshow).
Finbol hasn't changed a single bit. He is still member of that anti-revisionist party and still makes lengthy videos about communist history and how every single world event after the death of Stalin was a mistake with near zero production value besides the script.
It has seemed for a while that Pierre quit making videos after his explanations of Sorel and arcs of debating ancaps or liberal zionists, all in an edgy synthwave style. Recently he has resumed making the same kind of videos. According to his blog, he identifies as an unironic communazi now, in large part because of all the time he spent with fascists on his unnamed messaging app server. He also supports Hazler and the patsoc trend.
>>36830Never left, though I'll be fucked inside-out before I ever make anything again for this shithole.
Palestine general is okay though.
Whichever jannie decided we had ot do an ubisoft-tier minigame to post over TOR should be shot.
I'd actually hit you if you actually left your homes to go to the demo or etc, just because you're annoying and you need humbling.
>>36837>Never left, though I'll be fucked inside-out before I ever make anything again for this shithole.My brother.
>>Palestine general is okay though.The only reason i stay here atm too, and jannies sabotage even that.
>>36845No you don't understand, there is a war going on between the modetariat and the usergeoisie. To protect the sanctity of the Website, all protection must be stripped from the user
so it is trivial to put the userbase in harms way when a malicious mod eventually takes over, er… to protect against spam, of course. Look, the spam issue is very real and serious, just trust our development team who definitely don't have an axe to grind.
>>36824you are the one who thinks "shit and cum" is cutting edge humor anon
also that supporting bernie sanders is politically incorrect I guess
even in 2015 supporting bernie sanders was cringe due to him being a genocidal zionist but supporting him in 2024 when he's more transparently a libtard is beyond retarded
>>36855You think
>>36822 is an endorsement of Bernie Sanders?
>was a very active poster from early 2017 on 8ch>sporadically read bunkerchan>lost interest in '22 when the standard for critical thinking seemed to plummet after the Russian invasionfirst time posting on this iteration of /leftypol/, what's changed?
best moments were prob the recurring 2017 lenin hat vs leftcom threads, unironically learned a lot from those debates despite their often vitriolic nature
>>36785>a vulgar anti-SJWexplain
is identitarianism now en vogue on the board?
>oldBOwas a giant retard, basically fucked up the board and its culture
>>36863>first time posting on this iteration of /leftypol/, what's changed?like half the users are either the Russia meat riders or deng beetles
>>36863>is identitarianism now en vogue on the board?No, it's just more critical of excluding topics besides class. It's like how Lenin said about having to over-bend the iron bar to get it back to its proper shape. Back in the day we had to over-correct for tumblr radlibs, but unfortunately some people think it's still 2016 and it's a good idea to deploy 'tactical slurs' to scare away liberals.
>>36864>real left wing alliance that includes minoritiesthis was always the aim as I understood it
idpol was and is used to derail any class-oriented politics, and unless you have a way of suppressing it I don't think any movement or organisation can succeed in the modern day
>>36865>Russia meat riders or deng beetlesamazing
>it's just more critical of excluding topics besides classso how does it avoid getting subsumed by endless identitarian bickering and oppression olympics? I recon the solution is still a movement that can accommodate or at least utilise both the racist homo worker and the homophobic racial worker
>>36868>so how does it avoid getting subsumed by endless identitarian bickering and oppression olympics?Because it's not 2016 any more and tumblr social justice types have basically discredited themselves. That's just not really part of the discussion unless someone is doing it ironically as a bit.
>I recon the solution is still a movement that can accommodate or at least utilise both the racist homo worker and the homophobic racial workerYeah, and you tell them to cool it with the racism and homophobia because you have class to struggle over.
>>36871by emphasising the common class struggle, and suppressing identitarian divisions and wrecking
mutually prejudiced people can respect each other as fellow workers in the class struggle
a mass movement can't be based on purity tests
>>36873in the traditional, pro-universalist sense yes, in the modern, particularist "standpoint epistemological" sense no
>>36874yea no shit, but replacing one identitarianism with another is retarded
>>36867it is the job of communists to help proletarians out of their prejudices with the self development of the class in struggle, but racism or sexism isnt when you dont support interclass movements wholesale lol
>>36864as a communist i am against democracy, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, decolonization, feminism, intellectuals, national liberation, environmentalism, queer rights, workers' rights, human rights, animal rights, welfare states, green urbanism, reparations to the 'third world', and developmentalism
>real left wing alliancelol well at least you dont call yourself a communist, just explicitly an average leftoid
>>36873racist and sexist attitudes are to be criticized harshly irrespective of where they come from
>>36872communism is a movement of proletarian self interest, not a "mass" movement of "workers"
>>36876>but racism or sexism isnt when you dont support interclass movements wholesale lolwtf are you talking about? I'm talking about not letting discrimination slide.
>as a communist i am against democracy, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, decolonization, feminism, intellectuals, national liberation, environmentalism, queer rights, workers' rights, human rights, animal rights, welfare states, green urbanism, reparations to the 'third world', and developmentalismwow you're so special
>communism is a movement of proletarian self interest, not a "mass" movement of "workers"Proletarians are the working masses in capitalism, so it's both by definition.
>>36886*how we got this shitty webseries taken down
jfc, I am such a dyslectic retard
Btw, why we no longer have our online magazine?
We used to have NewMultitude
https://archive.fo/WmSEHand Bunkermundo
https://bunkermundo.wordpress.com/Spectre Rouge
https://archive.is/jrEo2and also Bunker Magazine
https://archive.is/4b7GQ>>36829its very surreal looking back on that time, but mostly good memories.
>>36830i (muke) still make videos occasionally, but more of my energy for leftism is directed towards offline things now. i check in on here a couple times a year too, but things have been different for a while now.
>>36887That's not the one we took down though.
We kinda binged that series and laughed at it.
The other Chanel we took down was a fascist theory channel called "cultured thug" or something.
