Campism: "A paradigmatic case relates to the early years of the 1979 Revolution, when two opposed left strategies in Iran confronted the real threat of U.S. imperialism. On one side, the pro-Soviet Tudeh Party called for a “United People’s Front” with “the steadfast fighters on the path of Ayatollah Khomeini,” branding women, leftist, and minority struggles as divisive “imperialist plots” that endangered national unity. On the other, the National Democratic Front (NDF) insisted that only deepening the revolution’s democratic content and defending the fundamental rights of the people could secure its anti-imperialist endurance. When the Islamic Republic, under the banner of anti-imperialism, crushed the NDF and other leftist and minority movements, the Tudeh Party not only remained silent but at times endorsed this repression—until the same machinery eventually turned against its own leadership." an internationalist critique by Amir Kianpour & Morteza Samanpour: https://portolan-journal.org/?post=many-shades-of-campism-an-internationalist-critique via @leilashami@spore.social #strategy #Iran #Palestine #internationalism #Syria #Hezbollah #feminism #antiImperialism #politics #campism #islamism #Houthis

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -- Rebecca West (The Clarion, 1913) #feminism #quotes

Hear, hear! "Make the White House press corps nothing but women. Right now, Trump (like all chauvinists) sees every man in that gaggle as a potential ally–every time they don’t call out his behavior, it is tacit approval.

#Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain because they relate to #feminism The theatre was told that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform [topics that are central to Woolf’s work] are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system” and are filtered out. To resolve the situation, Meta recommended removing “key words” so that the text doesn’t appear to encourage activism. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/21/meta-ban-virginia-woolf-a-room-of-ones-own-barcelona-teatre-raval #SocialMedia #Censorship

Where abortion is on the ballot in 2026: Voters in Idaho, Missouri, Nevada and Virginia will address how their states regulate reproductive rights. Four years after the fall of Roe v. Wade, abortion — which defined the 2022 midterms and much of the subsequent presidential campaign — has largely receded from the spotlight as 2026 candidates focus on issues of affordability, the proliferation of data centers and the prolonged war in Iran. But in four midterm races spanning different regions of the country, voters will have a chance to weigh in directly on how their states approach abortion. One ballot measure could overturn a strict ban. Another could undo abortion rights protections voters secured just two years ago. And in two others, voters won’t change what abortion access looks like, but they will have a chance to strengthen existing protections by amending their state constitutions. Here is a breakdown of where abortion is back on the ballot.

Herman, in 'Trauma and Recovery', points out the rather fundamental problem. The thing researchers were trying to explain in those studies into abused women was men’s violence. Yet they were looking for the explanation in the characteristics of the women the men are violent towards. Men’s violence is men’s behaviour, and yet an enormous amount of effort has gone into trying to explain it by examining women. ♀️👀 3/13 #Feminism #EqualRights #SocialJustice #GenderEquality

Men are animals, walking dildos; women must overthrow the government and eliminate the male sex. -- Valerie Solanas (SCUM Manifesto, 1967) #feminism #quotes

RAPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED AS A WEAPON OF WAR IN PATRIARCHY - NEITHER MEN ON THE RIGHT NOR MEN ON THE LEFT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BOTH sides in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict think they're justified in killing anything that moves. NEITHER side is "defending" itself. What's happening is what happens in ALL wars - misogynist MEN are taking out their grievances with other men by annihilating women's bodies. Sexual Violence as a Weapon of War https://youtu.be/JTVVCfvrITY RAPE AS A WEAPON OF WAR AND IT'S LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON VICTIMS AND SOCIETY https://www.peacewomen.org/sites/default/files/vaw_rapeasaweaponofwar_stopmodernslavery_may2008_0.pdf "Rape in warfare is rooted deep in world history and well established in modern warfare, however it can no longer remain an issue silenced by suppressive governments, ignorance and fear. The idea that rape is a normal byproduct of war, due to its continual use historically and currently, only perpetuates its use. The seeing of it as normal and its continual impunity increases its use as a weapon, the perpetrators are less likely to be tried for rape than murder. " Rape as a Weapon of War and it’s Long-term Effects on Victims and Society Rape as a Weapon of War and Genocide: https://www.cmc.edu/sites/default/files/humanrights/Rape%20as%20a%20tool%20of%20war.pdf “Rape committed during war is often intended to terrorize the population, break up families, destroy communities, and, in some instances, change the ethnic makeup of the next generation. Sometimes it is also used to deliberately infect women with HIV or render women from the targeted community incapable of bearing children.” For centuries, rape has been used as a spoil of war and as a weapon—possibly the most brutal weapon of war—in order to exercise power and dominance over women and undermine the social fabric of society. It is a method of torture both physical and psychological, and is a crime, just like murder, and in many cases."

Today in Labor History September 15, 1923: Osugi Sakae and his partner Noe Itō, both anarchists and feminists, were murdered by the Japanese military, during the 3-week long Kantō Massacre. They also murdered Osugi’s six-year-old nephew, who had dual US-Japanese citizenship. Over the course of the massacre, Japanese authorities slaughtered over 6,000-9,000 ethnic Koreans, along with Japanese political dissidents. The massacre began on September 1, 1923, the same day as the Great Kanto Earthquake, a magnitude 7.8-8.2 temblor that killed up to 140,000 people and destroyed much of Tokyo, Yokohama and Chiba. The massacre began as a pogrom against Korean immigrants who worked in the Kanto region. Korean labor unions had organized a very effective food relief program to serve quake victims. The police considered them a den of socialists. Many were members of the Korean Independence movement and had been organizing to end Japanese colonial rule. On September 2, police began spreading false rumors that Koreans had been seen carrying gasoline cans in preparation for burning down Japanese neighborhoods, and that Koreans were raping Japanese women. In Yokohama, Kanagawa and Tokyo, police gave residents permission to kill Koreans. The police even formed their own vigilante gangs in some towns. The police and army also used the ongoing violence as justification and cover as they slaughtered union leaders, communists and anarchists. The great film maker, Akira Kurosawa, who was a child at the time, was horrified by the event. “With my own eyes I saw a mob of adults … chasing a bearded man, thinking someone with so much facial hair could not be Japanese....Simply because my father had a full beard, he was surrounded by a mob carrying clubs.” The massacre is still denied to this day by many mainstream politicians. As recently as August 30, 2023, just before the 100th anniversary of the massacre, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said that the government believed there was no adequate evidence that the massacre occurred. In 2017, the Cabinet Office removed historical evidence and acknowledgement of the massacre from their website. In 2022, Tokyo mayor Yuriko Koike refused to send a commemorative message for the sixth year in a row. She has argued that the occurrence of a massacre was a matter of historical debate. In July 2020, Koike was re-elected as mayor of Tokyo in a landslide victory. Annual events to commemorate the massacre are regularly met with counterprotests, sometimes violent. Novelist Ushio Fukazawa, a Zainichi Korean (Korean nationals living in Japan, prior to World War Two, and their descendants), wrote about the massacre in the 2015 novel “Green and Red.” There have also been several plays written about the massacre, translated into Esperanto. Osugi Sakae, the anarchist assassinated in the massacre, was Japan’s first Esperanto teacher. #workingclass #LaborHistory #japan #korea #earthquake #massacre #pogrom #racism #anarchism #feminism #union #tokyo #esperanto #books #novel #play #writer #author @bookstadon @a.gup.pe
