- caitlinjohnstone.com.au When Your Rulers Ignore Voters But Are Terrified Of Protesters, That Tells You Something
When nobody in power will lift a finger to earn your vote but they’re falling all over themselves trying to stomp out a robust protest movement, that tells you what the powerful are actually afraid…
- Sonnets for Revolution
One of our comrades made a great essay and we have it available on Leftypedia. Come check it out!
- Leftypedia is starting to open up content portals, the first one being on Marxism–Leninism
Content portals are places where you can find a general summary of content. This is a great place for you to start out as a new editor.
We plan on making more content portals in the near-future (one for anarchism, Maoism, etc.) so editors can find content which interests them in an easier way.
- We're starting to translate our articles into non-English languages. Here's one in Portuguese
As part of our internationalist duty, we want to help spread socialism to workers of all countries, even if they speak different languages.
One of our new editors, Offl1ne, is helping to translate many of our important articles into non-English languages. This is very important. And we hope to expand these efforts to increase the reach of socialist theory and education.
Are you fluent in a non-English language and would like to contribute? If so, we invite you to create an account and help translate Leftypedia into different languages.
- Leftypedia is starting a study group! Join in next Saturday!
We're proud to announce that Leftypedia's community is starting a study group for socialist theory!
We're currently focused on basic Marxist and communist works, but will move on to other topics and more advance books later.
Our first book to study will be Principles of Communism, by Marx and Engels.
Everybody is welcome to join in. It will be held in our Discord server. Mention we're here for the study group and we'll let you in.
- Hello to everyone
I'm Harry, one of the moderators and contributors at Leftypedia. I'll be helping moderate this community as well as both spaces continue to grow.

- We have a growing number of articles on current events. See anything outdated? Contribute!
An obvious part of leftist politics is current events. Leftists can take sides on them, and often times these change rapidly as the situation on-the-ground escalates.
As a socialist encyclopedia, we have a duty to keep up with these changes and ensure they're presented in a relevant way to our readers.
In the example I'm bringing up here, our article on the Israel–Gaza war, we hear daily on new developments, atrocities, changes in the front-lines, etc.
But we admittedly are still a small editorial team, and even the sources which we use on current events like Unicorn Riot have trouble keeping up!
So what's the best thing we can do? Expand our base of contributors who all hear from different media sources! With your help, we can cast a wider net on sources and information.
Help ensure we keep up-to-date on these events today, sign up and contribute!
