Leftbook
A social site for comrades to talk to each other, at social.leftistsolidarity.com. It is a separate site with its own accounts and its own moderation. Nothing on this page needs an account.

There is no single answer. Seven traditions, explained from nothing, and a test that shows which one you already agree with.
Seven scenarios, two minutes. No sign-up, nothing is sent anywhere.
Sourced archive
2,379 sources, collected and categorised
Somebody has already told you that communism killed a hundred million people, that the famine was deliberate, that it has never worked anywhere. This is where the reading is kept: 2,379 articles, studies, documents and recordings across 27 categories, gathered against the claims they answer, with my own notes on 487 of them. Search it, follow the reference, and check it yourself. That last step is the point.

Games
Commie vs Zombies
Novyy Mir, 1987: the last socialist city is still standing, the dead are at the wall, and you are a People’s Defender. It is a first-person shooter that runs in your browser, at games.leftistsolidarity.com. It is free, there is nothing to install, there is no account to make, and there are no ads and no tracking.
Seven guides
They disagree with each other. Here is where.
There is no one socialism, and pretending otherwise is how people end up arguing past each other. Each guide is written for somebody who has read nothing on the subject.
MarxismA broad socialist tradition centered on dialectical materialism, historical materialism, exploitation, and working-class self-emancipation.
Marxism-LeninismA revolutionary Marxist current emphasizing the vanguard party, democratic centralism, and dictatorship of the proletariat.
MaoismAn anti-imperialist current highlighting protracted people’s war and continuous class struggle under socialism.
Democratic SocialismA strategy focused on pursuing socialism through electoral struggle, democratic institutions, and policy transformation.
Social DemocracyA reformist current associated with welfare-state policies, labor protections, and public services within capitalism.
Market SocialismA socialist framework that preserves public political control while allowing a limited private sector under specific conditions.
AnarchismA guide to anti-state socialist traditions, from Proudhon and Bakunin to anarcho-communism, syndicalism, and ecology.

One person, no company, no advertising
I write the guides, keep the archive, maintain the directory and build the game, on my own, while caring for a newborn. There is no organisation behind this. There are no ads on it, no tracking scripts and no analytics watching you read.
Three things help, in this order
- Correct me. If a guide is wrong, a source is misread, or a group in the directory has folded, say so: [email protected]. This is worth more than money and it costs you a minute.
- Pass something on. Send one guide, or one archive entry, to the person who needed it. There is no advertising budget here; this is the whole distribution plan.
- Chip in, only if you can spare it. It pays for hosting. Nothing on the site is behind it, and nothing ever will be.
