IRAN ON STRIKE
[[link removed]]
_Juan Cole_ / Informed Comment (Ann Arbor)
Although major Persian cities saw strikes and rallies, the strike
seems to have been especially effective in Iranian Kurdistan,
where Hengaw reported that 29 cities in four Kurdish provinces were
on strike. Mahsa “Zhina” Amini, the young woman whose death in the
custody of the morals police provoked this fall’s demonstrations,
was a Kurdish Iranian.

_Imre G. Szabó_ / LeftEast
Despite the crushing defeat of the opposition at the elections in
Spring this year, not all is quiet in Orbán’s Hungary. Teachers,
students, and parents have organized a series of protest across the
country, calling on the government to increase teachers’ salaries,
restore teaching autonomy and create a more democratic education
governance.

UKRAINE: CAN NEGOTIATIONS BE MADE TO WORK?

_Denys Bondar and Zakhar Popovych_ / Sotsіalniy Rukh (Kyiv)
Lately, in the West, the sentiment on the prospects of a peaceful end
to the war imposed on the Ukrainian people is heard more and more
often. But are such negotiations possible, and who will benefit from
them? And does Putin actually want peace?

EMPOWERING COMMUNES IN VENEZUELA
[[link removed]]
_Ricardo Vaz_ / Venezuelanalysis (Caracas)
The Venezuelan National Assembly (AN) has opened a process to review
and reform a set of laws concerning popular power. A consultation
process will now begin to collect input from the country’s 49
thousand officially registered communal councils, as well as over 3
thousand communes and other social movements.

RED-GREEN ALLIANCE

_Duroyan Fertl_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Brussels)
Denmark’s radical left party is in a spin. At the November 1 general
election, it lost a quarter of its support, a third of its seats, and
its influence with government. Alongside the immediate financial and
political ramifications, the result has opened up both internal and
public debate – exposing strategic disagreements over the party’s
direction.

ISRAEL: UNITING AGAINST FASCISM IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY
[[link removed]]
_Israel Frey_ / Haaretz (Tel Aviv)
It’s time to wake up. It’s over. This is no longer our state. It
has been occupied by fascist forces. Now it’s time to think like
opponents of the regime. And the new regime's opponents don’t fight
for “sanity” and good government. They fearlessly represent the
bloc of full equality, which will likely undermine the foundations of
Jewish supremacy.

EUROPE: CLIMATE OCCUPATIONS
[[link removed]]
_Clare Hymer and Sam Knights_ / Novara Media (London)
Tents were erected last month at the University of Barcelona. A banner
was strung up in a stone archway. For seven days, students led
workshops on movement-building and political struggle. The students
had two clear demands of their university: that it cut ties with
fossil fuel companies, and that it introduce a compulsory module on
the climate crisis.
