A Revolutionary Feminist Position on Iran: Vs. Authoritarianism, Vs. Imperialism, Vs. Zionism, and NO TO WAR!

Anonymous — 2026-03-31T18:43:36Z

A REVOLUTIONARY FEMINIST position on Iran must refuse the false and damaging binary that demands choosing between defending the Islamic Republic and endorsing US-imperialist and Zionist intervention. This is a constructed choice designed to collapse political judgment into campism. It converts solidarity into a competition of moral allegiances and leaves ordinary people, workers, women, youth, and minorities to a reality shaped simultaneously by internal repression as well as external militarized destruction.

Weaponising Gender: How gender became the perfect scapegoat for far-right and authoritarian actors

Aminah Jasho, Esme Abbott, Julisa Tambunan — 2026-03-27T13:16:33Z

Anti-gender mobilisation has become a defining feature of far-right movements since around 2015; and is now a tactic widely adopted by authoritarian governments across the political spectrum. From overturning abortion rights in the United States (US) to rescinding protection against domestic violence in Türkiye, institutions that defend women's rights are being systematically dismantled. These patterns align with a global decline in democracy, with over 75% of the world's population now living under restricted freedom. The correlation is not coincidental. As democratic institutions weaken, attacks on gender-based rights accelerate the decline and provide a roadmap for it.

“It's the workers of the hospital that know best how to run it. Of course, there are different ideas but we have the experience of working together. That's where the health team comes together to figure out how best to care for the patient and involve the family in a discussion.”

8th March and Revolutionary Socialism

Radical Socialist — 2026-03-07T15:44:36Z

“Without organising women workers in hosieries, in jute mills, among hawkers, fighting for their rights, 8th March loses its significance. Today, when neoliberalism and Hindutva-fascism is sharpening assaults, women's rights must also be placed within the context of fighting that.”
