"The people’s victories in Iran and Afghanistan dealt a painful blow to imperialism and its stooges and plans. This impelled imperialism to exercise its aggressive policies in the region in a flagrant, unrestrained manner." (1986, Fourth Congress: Political Report)

@snackvampire @OmarHamadD @Taniyeahhhhh @iskrabooks Was coming here to suggest this!

About four months ago, I was looking for a publishing house for my book. After an extensive search, I narrowed it down to five options and eventually chose one. I prefer not to name them out of respect for the personal rapport I share with the editors, which I wish to maintain. After three months of revisions—during which I agreed to remove many passages they claimed contained "hatred and hostility," despite my inner reservations—we set the publication date for April 8, 2026. However, following the onset of the American-Zionist aggression against Iran, I began posting my views and documenting what I was witnessing according to my own principles. They were displeased and demanded that I delete those posts as a condition for our continued collaboration. I refused, of course. I am free in what I write and post, and there is no power in this world that can dictate how I express myself or what I publish.

I can't express enough how much I love @iskrabooks

Illuminating the historical, political, spatial, technological, and sonic conditions of our struggle and assembling new pedagogical forms of reading, writing, listening, and learning through which we can encounter and realize an alternative social formation and, through the guidance of the Party, a new mode of production.

And we're excited to announce that next year, as part of the 'Anti-Imperialist Marxism' series, we will be publishing a more affordable paperback version of Ali Kadri's immensely important 2003 book, 'The Accumulation of Waste' (previously published by Brill). Watch this space for more details.

Excellent @TheDeprogramPod episode with frequent Iskra collaborator @GabrielRockhill. Among other discussions on Losurdo, Zizek, Parenti, some hints about future Iskra Books releases as part of the @CTW_ATC 'Anti Imperialist Marxism' series.

@iskrabooks @TheDeprogramPod @GabrielRockhill @CTW_ATC Hello! Has this happened yet? Am very interested in a more affordable version of this book 🙂

The book, its argument and its applications are discussed in these excellent @MAKcapitalism episodes: (2023) youtu.be/0l3quA2PL2Y?si… (2026) youtu.be/fl58ne39DYc?si…

This will be an Iskra republication, an affordable paperback of an otherwise academically-priced work. Taking theoretical tools out of the academy and into the hands of organizers.

Coming this summer! Ali Kadri’s essential investigation into the role of waste (of people and nature) in capitalism. “Destruction becomes the principal commodity produced by capital. Militarism will lead accumulation, which will theoretically demolish any limit to capital.”

On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think... His name will endure through the ages, and so also will his work. —Engels speaking at Marx's funeral, 1883. Much to be done carrying on their work!
