The Commune’s Beyond Resistance event held on Saturday 19th June, attracted a very good turnout of around 60. The audience spanned a range of views with a wide range of activists and the spirit was very positive. Hopefully with this spirit there can be a real basis for establishing some form of unity amongst left anti-capitalists, anarchists and socialists.

The coup in Iran, that took place through the June presidential elections, is five months old and the victors give the appearance of being firmly in the saddle. But in Iran appearances are deceptive. The large anti-government demonstrations that took place on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan (18 September), and again on the anniversary of the occupation of the US embassy on 4 November

The dramatic impact of the recession on jobs
and pay has highlighted the state of working class organisation and
its ability to resist these attacks. PR14 leads on an assessment of
the trade union movement’s response to the crisis – do the rash of
unofficial actions and occupations this year signal a new mood of
resistance or are they isolated and defensive struggles?

It is no surprise that the highly contested results of the presidential elections in Iran have sparked unrest in Tehran and other cities across Iran. The level of cheating on display seems crazy even by the standards of Iran's Islamic Republic regime. Clearly, the results are the final proof that confirms that the whole electoral process is deeply undemocratic and rigged from top to bottom...Yassamine Mather, chair of Hands Off the People of Iran
