Leftypedia is a failed[1] "left-unity" and "non-sectarian" encyclopedia founded in 2019.[2] Initially, the site existed at the leftypedia.org domain name until it was removed after its founder stopped participating in the project in July 2022,[3][4] but was revived under the wiki.leftypol.org domain later that year, hosted and maintained by leftypol.org.[5] In 2024, a revisionist section of the site administration purged all Marxist–Leninist editors and installed a tiny rump editorship of mostly left-communists and anarchists.[6] The project has never recovered since.
Although Leftypedia had many flaws during even its height, its external platforms allowed many anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist editors to organize and eventually form the basis for Revolupedia later in 2024.
