Leftypedia is an aspiring online encyclopaedia dedicated to providing a coherent platform about leftist politics. We want to demystify what we believe to be one of the most misunderstood ideologies, either for people who believe left-wing theoretical texts are too dense to read or those who have strong opinions about it without having read anything by prominent leftist thinkers. We hope to provide explanations that are readily comprehensible and for our knowledge to grow as you become a part of it. In short, our aim is to let the left-wing movement do the talking, and for us to expound upon it.
History
Initially founded in 2020[verification needed] to preserve content from Marxistpedia after the site went down, Leftypedia gained users from a variety of sources, including the /leftypol/ imageboard [at Bunkerchan?] as well as leftist Reddit groups such as /r/ShitLiberalsSay. The site existed at the domain leftypedia.org until it was removed[when?][why?] and moved to wiki.leftypol.org, hosted and maintained by leftypol.org, where it exists as of 2024.
