Iranian film maker Jafar Panahi, who was released after three months in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, protests that at the moment he has little hope of making another film - all he can do is film one in his head. But, he says defiantly: “I will have to make a film - that is my life.” “I started a hunger strike”, he says, “when one night they took me for questioning and the interrogators asked: ‘What is the name of your film?’ I thought they were referring to the film I was making when they arrested me in my house on March 1. So I replied: ‘That film isn’t finished yet, so it hasn’t got a name.’ They said: ‘No, no, we are asking about the film you are making in prison in your cell.’ ... read full story / add a comment

The way the killings on board the MV Mavi Marmara have been reported in the mass media offers an interesting case study of one way in which the truth is often distorted by the mainstream, and it is a method that often involves not so much deception as obfuscation. ... read full story / add a comment

Capital implies the political state. As capital develops the state is correspondingly developed. There obtains an internal unity between capital and state. Buried within capital is the state –state capital. As capital develops the state issues out of it. It is a mistaken abstraction to focus on capitalist development to the exclusion of the state. ... read full story / add a comment

The state is a central concept in the political philosophy of Anarchism. Anarchism is often defined as being an anti-state ideology. While this is sometimes a useful way to distinguish anarchists from other state socialists it also leads to a fair bit of confusion. We will look at the source of this confusion with the aim of showing that anarchism is in its essence opposed to rulers and is not a naive or idealistic form of anti-statism. ... read full story / add a comment

Israel dominates the global diamond market and is, by a significant margin, its largest beneficiary with net diamond exports amounting to $10 billion in 2008. ... read full story / add a comment

Both Turkey and Iran have accused Israel of state terror against the activists on the high seas.

Is this attack on an Aid ship Israel's taking advantage of an erstwhile preoccupied and unfortunate American President ? Or is it just more of Israel doing what Israel does best ..taking murderous and disproportionate action against civilians to further subjugate the Palestinian people - and doing all of this under the pre configured ideation imprinted on the Israeli mind that Europe 'owes' her because of the Holocaust - and therefore whatever would be deemed unacceptable by another country is Ok for Israel ? ... read full story / add a comment
