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

Socialism was postponed indefinitely: staying within the limits of what the bourgeoisie could tolerate. Since the boom turned into a crisis for capitalism, this has meant accepting, step by step, and in many cases implementing, the atacks of the bourgeoisie.

A thread celebrating the birthday of the steadfast defender of the Bolshevik revolution, Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria! Rising to prominence in his expert managing of the Cheka when the workers and peasants of Georgia were revolting against the Menshevik servants of the British Empire, Beria rose through the ranks to squash the terrorist counter-revolutionary Trotskyite organizations after the heinous sabotage of Yagoda and Yezhov left the Soviet state fledgling without experienced managers of Police affairs. It was Beria who stepped to the occasion during this crucial hour and stopped the murderous Yezhov as soon as he could. With extensive thoroughness, Beria reviewed and released over 100,000 wrongfully imprisoned by the Yezhov gang, such as the heroic Konstantin Rokossovsky, allowing him to play his pivotal role in the Great Patriotic War.
After the 1930s, Beria continued his tireless service to the Soviet Dictatorship of the Proletariat, crushing counter-revolutionary plots and gangs of saboteurs. His service during the Great Patriotic War in maintaining domestic stability during the catastrophic conditions created by the German invasion cannot be exaggerated, him taking control of the manufacture of armaments and aircraft, and supervising the Soviet atomic bomb project.
Thanks to the early successful test of the Soviet atomic bomb in 1949, this deadly weapon brandished by the Americans was, to the great relief of all the peoples of the world, countered and could not be dropped as carelessly as the Americans had been dreaming of. Thanks to Beria's oversight, many hundreds of thousands of lives around the world were saved from the most wretched of deaths.
It was due to these revolutionary actions that the gang of revisionists, such as Khrushchev and Mikoyan, saw Beria as the most menacing threat to their aspirations of capitalist restoration. In a dastardly criminal plot, these agents of counter-revolution saw that this great Hero of Socialist Labor, who had fought uninterruptedly for so many decades in service of the people, had to be silenced permanently for their ambitions to be realized. Beria, alongside his trusted Comrades Dekanozov, Merkulov, Vlodzimirsky, Meshik, Goglidze and Kobulov, were unjustly executed by the Khrushchevite gang and its lackeys, who subsequently spread the most heinous lies and slander to justify their criminal deed.
Of course, liberals, including those liberals who wear a red garb, have accepted these KhrushchePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I was expecting this would happen soon. This was the whole reason behind Korea's support for Russia. The Russian bourgeois has been forced into an alliance with Korea due to the strain they have been put under by the war. Korea has acted very smartly. Its crazy to say that they are somehow in the wrong for exploiting an intra bourgeois war as much as possible for their own gain. This doesn't mean I don't think the DPRK is highly revisionist though (even if I'm unsure about if its no longer under a DotP).

The split was due to Soviet chauvinism and fucking over China and some other socialist countries or at least acting overly controlling, but just as much about revisionism in the USSR and the party group clique led by Khrushchev basically viciously stabbing communism in the back as a whole and moving towards counter-revolution

>>1808382
China has less to gain than Russia in doing so. Historically there is examples of Russia acting against the interests of the atlanticist/western camp of the imperial core more than China would, as one example they proposed selling off a bunch of american debt to tank the American economy back in like 2014, but China refused this proposal. It would not be in their interest to accept then arguably. In many ways the well being of China's economy is more intertwined with e.g. America's than Russia's economy is. Because China sells goods to America and receives investments from them etc. Whereas Russia arguably has less important interactions and economic dependence with America, even before the Ukraine war and sanctions.

On the other hand why would China veto the treaty if they could, especially openly? They might have some benefits from a nuclear DPRK discouraging provocations from the western powers in the region, but they are trying to get along with the other bourgeois powers in the western camp, and to pro-actively seek peace here. The DPRK and China do not share a communist goal or proletarian class nature. China is a bourgeois nation in competition and trying to maintain peace and open trade with other bourgeois nations. They have no reason to desire a communist nation on their border except for example where they can use them as a bargaining chip with other bourgeois powers, and to gain sympathy from the forces of communism internationally. If the DPRK were a more powerful country and pursuing and making progress in a goal of international communism, then they would actually threaten the bourgeoisie in China (and therefore China itself in the sense of it's existence as a nation state which is the meaning we are using here).

India’s close ties with Russia are based on a “Soviet legacy” that is “evaporating”, Ukraine’s foreign minister warned as he urged New Delhi to stand by Kyiv.

On a visit to the India, Dmytro Kuleba also said it should be concerned about Russia’s deepening ties with China, which is locked in a tense border conflict with its southern neighbour India. 

Speaking to the Financial Times, Kuleba said “the co-operation between India and Russia is largely based on the Soviet legacy. But this is not the legacy that will be kept for centuries; it is a legacy that is evaporating.”

India and China have an unresolved border dispute that last flared into deadly violence in 2020, killing at least 24, and prompting a build-up of tens of thousands of troops in forward positions in the Himalayas on both sides. India says regular ties with China will not be restored until the status quo at the border is restored.

In a nod to the tensions, Kuleba said: “The Chinese-Russian relationship should be of particular attention for India in light of its national security prerogatives.”

Ukraine has struggled to win sympathy from India and many other countries in the so-called Global South. These states have mostly avoided taking sides in a war they see as the business of rich nations, and whose economic price they have paid in disrupted trade and higher costs.

I was briefly discussing how hypersonics could make imperialism untenable, i.e, provide a way for weapons to shut down American bases and carriers anywhere on the globe, but it turns out the Americans are working on megawatt lasers to counter.

The Chinese are claiming to counter with their own anti-laser coating, that ablatively resists megawatt lasers at around 1 km ranges.

But the technology in general seems interesting; i.e, laser maturity is growing at a tremendous rate, and the J-20 is better designed for laser paradigm warfare than the F-35 (the side weapons bay allows the J-20 to carry two laser pods externally, and the two F119-class engines in the WS-15 should be able to generate greater total power than the single F135.).

How much do we know about lasers? For instance, the Chinese were advertising a megawatt class pulse laser, but when it comes to pulse lasers, petawatt lasers are already common.
