About

Agitka started as a Polish-language Marxist publication — strictly analytical, no populism, no empty sloganeering. It ran from January 20 to May 30, 2026. Five months. Not long, but long enough to learn what breaks a project like this.

The ideological line was clear from day one: cybercommunism, computational planning, the engineering feasibility of socialism in the 21st century. We rejected the archaic dogmas of the old Polish left and built something technically ahead of anything that scene had produced in the previous decade — modern infrastructure, AI-assisted workflows, a serious analytical profile. The unofficial label we used internally was "the engineering left." The idea was to fuse Marxist political economy with cybernetics, systems theory, and the actual state of technology — Cockshott, Beer, Cottrell, not folklore.

It didn't survive. Not because the ideas were wrong, but because the people weren't there. The entire operational burden fell on one person. Collaborators proved disloyal, burned out, or simply couldn't match the level of commitment the project demanded. The Polish radical left micro-scene, with few exceptions, is too consumed by internal feuds, gossip, and organizational LARPing to build anything that lasts. We broke on the same hurdle that broke every initiative before us: the absence of reliable cadres.

What remained after the collapse was the name, the domain, and a clearer understanding of what actually matters.

Agitka now exists in a different form — a study circle, not a publication. No editorial ambitions, no publishing schedule, no content output. Just a small group talking seriously about the things that matter, on Telegram. We read, discuss, translate the occasional text. The focus stays the same: cybernetic approaches to socialist planning, the political economy of AI and automation, the computational feasibility of non-market resource allocation.

If you're looking for a broader intellectual community working on these questions, these are the organizations worth knowing:

• INDEP — International Network for Democratic Economic Planning — an international network of workers, students, researchers, and activists, who share the common goal of advancing a post-capitalist economic system based on democratic economic planning.
• Cibcom — an interdisciplinary research group exploring the possibilities of socialist economic planning under current technological conditions (computing, telecommunications, AI), building on the work of Stafford Beer, Paul Cockshott, Allin Cottrell, and others to establish the institutional, economic, and computational foundations for a viable and efficient democratically planned socialist economy.
• Accessist International / Center for Cybernomics Research — a global initiative aimed at building a world where access to resources and technology is no longer dependent on markets, jobs, or money, but on human needs and collective potential.
