Comrades,
I disagree with the the opposition to the present Iranian government on the Bolshevik principle that the principal contradiction facing the world's peoples is Anglo-Saxon imperialism. To encourgage the western inspired petit-bourgeoisie in their campaign against the elected government - however subjectively sincere - is giving aid and comfort to that enemy. (I note your bourgeois new source for the "fearless upsurge.") The Iranians are standing up against specifically US imperialism and its running dogs; to attack them is objectively counter-revolutionary. (See Cde Stalin 'Marxism and the National Question' re defending the Emir of Afghanistan and the anti socialist Egyptian bourgeiosie's
opposition to British imperialism i.e. the 'principal contradiction.)
Death to US imperialism
Death to the zionist/fascist Israeli state.
Hands off Iran
The enemy of our enemy is our friend.
Lal salam

Subject: [** MAOIST_REVOLUTION **] Revolution: Fearless Upsurge Rocks Iran
(article from Revolution newspaper #189, January 17, 2010, voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA - www.revcom.us) Fearless Upsurge Rocks Iranby Larry Everest"Whither Iran?" Farideh Farhi, December 31, 2009, Inter Press Service New York Times, December 28, 2009
Leading up to the major Shi'ite religious commemorations of Muharram culminating in Ashura on December 28, the Islamic Republic threatened severe consequences for anyone who dared to protest against the government. And people in Iran know that this can mean death, imprisonment, or torture. The government deployed thousands of its armed enforcers—the police, the Basij militia, the Revolutionary Guards. Yet, hundreds of thousands of Iranians still turned out for the most massive, defiant, and determined anti-regime demonstrations since the current uprising began in June, following the apparent theft of the presidential election by incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The regime's forces set on people with tear gas, batons and chains, beating them "relentlessly," as one witness described. Government forces smashed the windows of cars driven by people who were honking in solidarity with the protests. There were reports that protesters were stabbed or suffered skull fractures. At times, the regime's militias fired live ammunition directly into the crowds, killing an estimated 37 people (and perhaps more) and injuring many more. All told some 1,500 were arrested. But the day wasn't only marked by the Islamic theocracy's brutality. On Ashura and the days before, thousands stood up to these savage assaults and, more often than before, fought back. Videos show demonstrators refusing to back down in the face of brutal repression. Witnesses described parts of Tehran as "covered in thick smoke from fires and tear gas," and "the scene of hand-to-hand combat between security forces and the protesters." Protests and street battles were also reported in other major cities. (New York Times, December 29, 2009) According to the Communist Party of Iran (MLM), more than a million people all over Iran took part, with several hundred thousand scattered in Tehran alone. The slogans and mood were more radical than before, with demonstrators walking over and sometimes burning pictures of Supreme Leader Khamenei and chanting "This is the month of blood, Khamenei will be overthrown."
