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

Man, China will never be able to sell their EVs in America, not because of the pricing or the fact that they're Chinese products but because American infrastructure is dried up, rotten dogshit. It's stuck in the last century. And they can't fix it.

I remember talking to some guys that couldn't believe battery swapping stations are a thing. They were unfamiliar with the very concept and then I showed them Nio swapping stations and Gogoro swapping stations. It was so mindblowing they said it's CGI and that they can't possibly be built in large numbers. Except that they are. In China.

Seeing video related I get why they thought it was alien technology. Even huge US cities like NY can't viably roll out normal charging stations. Not only where and how many they install but to actually keep them working is impossible. EVs just won't work outside of Asia. Maybe in some small countries like Norway, Switzerland and Netherlands but even that is doubtful.
China would be better off making cheap ICE cars even though they're a century late to it. Because with economies of Japan and Germany going down the drain, even the less than impressive Chinese ICE car would be competitive in the global south.

I think it's related. That was more of a traumatic event than people realize, an essentially random event causing chaos reminding people that they just don't matter that much. The experience sort of imprinted itself on people's brains, and they're going to carry how they reacted to it with them for many years, and it'll affect how they see everything else. It's also the thing that killed globalism and reintroduced tribalism.

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 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).

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.
