As Western imperialism pummels Iran, looking for regime change while promising ‘freedom’, Ryszard Kapuściński’s ‘Shah of Shahs’ – first published in 1982 – provides a valuable insight on the rottenness of the imperialist-backed Pahlavi dynasty, leading to its overthrow.
Labour’s Shabana Mahmood is waging war on asylum seekers and whipping up a culture war in a bid to counter Nigel Farage. But these policies please nobody and are alienating Labour’s own supporters. To fightback, we must turn their culture war into class war.
