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
Leftypedia is a leftist non-sectarian encyclopedia dedicated to the analysis of history and politics from a critical and radical perspective and dissemination of socialist concepts. Initially founded in 2019 after Marxistpedia went down, Leftypedia gained users from a variety of sources, including the /leftypol/ imageboard as well as leftist Reddit communities. The site existed at the leftypedia.org domain name until it was removed in July 2022, but was revived under the wiki.leftypol.org domain later that year, hosted and maintained by leftypol.org, where it exists as of 2024.
