Zizek on Iranian protests

Nima Barazandeh | 25-06-2009 01:31 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | Manchester | Sheffield

"The following is a guest post from Slavoj Žižek, Apparently the mainstream media has not shown interest in publishing it. The piece is copy-right free and you should feel free to republish this on your own blog. "

one would be expecting a miracle to expect Ahamdinejad apologists, who have been supporting his govornment based on illusioins that a middle class uprising is in place in Iran. Mind you Sepah, the main supporter of Ahmadinejad is a multi- million corporation. most people in the rural areas of Iran, who many in the left believe have voted for Ahmadinejad, are from ethnic minorities who would either, NOT vore, or should they come to the polls is to protests to the pro-regime candidate. Ahmadinejad govornment has the control of the Media, the Police, Riot police, funded by a multi million corporation (Sepaah e Paasdaaraan) and the new regime-dependant corporations and middle class. Open your eyes, only a tyranny who has acknowledged lack of legitimacy, would kill cruch demonstrations in such a scale , to save their position. Is the British left really that blind?

A Party for the Poor (no not a fucking free drug infested one)

underclassrising.net | 21-06-2009 18:34 | Sheffield

The last weekend of July – the city of Sheffield will be filled with music

underclassrising.net | 17-06-2009 17:39 | Sheffield

Now sit up at the table and eat the shit sandwich its what you fucking ordered

underclassrising.net | 09-06-2009 09:04 | Leeds Bradford | Sheffield

Sunday night’s European elections were certainly dramatic. It’s difficult to say which is more shocking: the election of 2 BNP members or the incredible collapse of the Labour vote.
