On Jacobin Radio: "There are zero historical cases of air power bombing a country into revolution from below. Zero." "It is 2003 all over again" and why building an anti-war movement is the left's most urgent task right now. open.spotify.com/episode/0ElPXd…

@ntonipresident !!! I love this picture and I want to hear about this process!

мало кто знает, но мое окрашивание занимает по 12-13 часов каждый раз А крашусь я раз в 2-3 месяца

5/5 And: Mather and Moshé Machover are launching Nur — a new initiative for regional solidarity across Iran, Palestine, and the Arab world, in the tradition of the 1970s journal Khamsin. Hear the full discussion on Jacobin Radio kpfk.org bit.ly/3k3iPCH

4/5 On illusions about Russia or China as saviors: "Putin can't even tolerate anti-war people within his own borders. He's going to support the Iranian working class?" Film directors & Nobel laureates hedged on foreign intervention, not Iranian oil workers & teachers .

3/5 On Khamenei: cultured & well-read, sometimes acted as a brake on the IRGC's most adventurous factions. With him gone, the Revolutionary Guard is in the driving seat. His death by foreign assassination may give him in death the authority his legacy denied him in life.

2/5 "The very same people who don't like this government might dislike Israel more." People who were in January's anti-regime protests have joined pro-govt demonstrations — not for the regime, but out of fury at foreign attack. Trump's 'liberation' operation has backfired.

NEW on Beneath the Surface: @yassaminem on the US-Israeli war on Iran. 1/5

"If they don’t stop, Tehran will turn into Gaza’: Iranians describe night of terror. People tell of scenes of panic during airstrikes on Iran’s capital, with several saying they feared they would die" theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

Statement issued by Israeli and Iranian socialists - Moshé Machover and Yassamine Mather The existential crises engulfing Iran, Israel, Palestine, and the surrounding Arab states — from the genocide in Gaza to the relentless annexation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank — are not isolated tragedies. They are interconnected fronts of a single regional conflict. Today, borders are open for capital and military power, yet closed and deadly for the oppressed and displaced. NUR (Light) is a new multimedia initiative rooted in revolutionary socialist internationalism. Co-founded by Moshé Machover, pioneering Middle Eastern socialist thinker and Khamsin founder, and Yassamine Mather, Iranian socialist and workers’ activist, NUR builds a platform that addresses the national question through a regional solution. Why NUR? • The region’s crises are interlocking — Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, Kurdistan, and beyond must be understood together. • Palestinian liberation is inseparable from struggles against reactionary regimes across the region. • We advocate a regional socialist federation — not utopian, but the only viable alternative to endless cycles of war, ethnic cleansing, and sectarianism. • NUR connects the dots: strikes in Tehran, protests in Beirut, resistance in Gaza — all part of a shared regional transformation. What NUR will offer • Rigorous analysis, long-form articles, and dialogue • Moshé Machover on Zionism as settler-colonialism and the need for revolutionary regional integration • Yassamine Mather on the Iranian working class as a pivot for anti-imperialism and democratic transformation We seek support to build a platform that refuses to treat the “Middle East” as disconnected catastrophes. NUR aims to help cultivate a regional left — capable of thinking, organising, and dreaming beyond colonial borders.

Every time after a prisoner exchange, I read the news hoping that this time my friends, who have been in captivity for over three years, have also been exchanged. But again, no. If you can help in any way, please help. solidaritycollectives.org/en/free-denys-…

It is not too late to make a nomination for this year's Daniel Singer Prize contest. Deadline is in a little more than 48 hours.

During the translation and editing process, the slogan "peace without annexations" was removed. I now realize that this was a mistake. It should have been edited, but not deleted. This quote from my old text would have been a much better ending than the current one.

Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Taras Bilous, a socialist in the Ukrainian army, told Jacobin why calls for a ceasefire are gaining traction but also why Ukrainians insist on a deal that will really prevent future aggression: jacobin.com/2026/02/ukrain…

This is an amazing stat. Evangelicals are pretty much the foundation of reactionary authoritarian politics in the US (along with some tech bros, who have the money if not the numbers).

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

می‌دانم که بسیاری از خبرنگاران/سردبیران ایرانی در مطبوعات و رسانه‌ها فرض می‌کنند که گزارش‌های بی‌طرفانه‌ای درباره رضا پهلوی ارائه می‌دهند، با این حال هر مطلبی که او را تبلیغ می‌کند، حمایت بین‌المللی در میان دانشجویان/جوانان غرب از اعتراضات شجاعانه و عادلانه مردم ایران را کاهش می‌دهد. در سطح جهانی، او چنان به ارتباطش با صهیونیسم و ​​دولت نسل‌کش آلوده است که حتی یک گزارش بی‌طرفانه درباره او، به تمام تلاش‌هایی که برخی از ما برای جلب حمایت از مبارزه واقعی ضد دیکتاتوری مردم ایران انجام می‌دهیم، آسیب می‌زند. همچنین برخی از گزارش‌های شما مبتنی بر اخبار جعلی است.
