We live in a time of Crisis, and a time of Opportunity. In a time of crisis, the opportunity for radical change exists; what is critical is the ideas that shape the change. Kevin Carson (Studies in Mutualist Political Economy; Organization Theory - A Libertarian Perspective) - Research Associate for the Center for a Stateless Society - has just published "Industrial Policy: New Wine in Old Bottles", a short fully-referenced paper outlining some practical mutualist and libertarian alternatives, as well as existing challenges to the present system. read full story / add a comment

Two Iranian women labor activists, convicted for participating in May Day celebrations, have been punished by flogging, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran reported today. According to local sources, on 18 February, Sussan Razani and Shiva Kheirabadi were flogged inside the central prison in Sanandaj, capital of the Iranian Kurdistan province. Razani was flogged 70 lashes and Kheirabadi received 15 lashes. “These inhumane and barbaric floggings demonstrate an utter disregard for the rights of Iranian citizens by a hardliner clique inside the Judiciary, who are determined to drag Iran’s human rights record to new lows,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the Campaign’s spokesperson. read full story / add a comment

Benjamin Netanyahu, the hawkish leader of a right-wing Israeli Coalition has emerged as the new prime-minister of Israel. "Bibi" as he is known has made it clear that the priority of the Israeli government will be the influence of Iran over Hezbollah and Hamas and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. Last autumn prior to the December-January war assault on Gaza, hundreds of Israeli warplanes engaged in an exercise over the Mediterranean which is said to have been a rehearsal long range air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Since the 1973 conflict which led to the defeat of massive Egyptian and Syrian forces, Israel is alleged to have acquired a large nuclear arsenal allowing it to control the balance of power in the Middle East. President Obama has begun a diplomatic offensive to persuade Iran to abandon its percieved nuclear ambitions but has not ruled out military force. Israel's new prime minister is sure to complicate matters. read full story / add a comment

Love or loath him, Christopher Hitchens is always interesting. A loud-mouthed atheist, enemy of American Christian whackjobs and Islamist wingnuts alike, an acerbic wit, left-wing gadfly, supporter of the Iraq War and opponent of water-boarding, supporter of Bush and Obama, British born American citizen, Hitchens does not fit comfortably into any boxes. During a visit to Beiruit he defaced a Syrian nationalist poster and was on the recieving end of an attack by pro-Syrian militia who may or may not have been trying to abduct (and maybe torture) him. read full story / add a comment

Its not just in Ireland that teachers have to strike for their basic rights. But in Iran its a lot more dangerous: unions are banned and strikes are illegal. Strikers are often flogged. Support the Iranian Teachers! Full text at link. According to reports from teachers in various towns and cities in Iran most teachers are solidly behind the broad-based strike on 21-23 February. The lack of access to the press and the media in general for publicising the strike has meant that news about the country-wide strike has been passed on using SMS, email, personal weblogs and telephone conversations. read full story / add a comment
