Not in My Name: The Warmongers’ Rally Against the American People in Washington

-

Abbas Goya

As we feared, the war has escalated. The destruction and death are already devastating—but what’s even more shocking is seeing a group of misguided individuals flock to Washington to thank Trump. And on what day? The very day after millions across America shouted, “No King!” This is a blatant insult to the American people—a direct affront to them.

That’s why these gatherings should not be happening in Washington at all. They belong in Tehran, where their "uncle Trump" drops bombs day and night. The worst among them is Reza Pahlavi, whose sole aim is to crown himself atop the corpses of the people, and held a "thank you Trump" speech at the CPAC on the very day of No King rallies.

To these misguided individuals: gather, thank Trump, dance on the dead, shout whatever you want—but not in my name.

To everyone else: we must not allow a tiny, misguided minority to claim our approval for war and displacements, to thank Trump for killing us, or to mock millions of Americans. Let society know that while this small group may have a loud, horrifying voice, it is not our voice. Let us say clearly and firmly: “Not in my name.”

Post-bloody ThuFriday: Obstacles and solutions

-
Abbas Goya - February 2, 2026 Undoubtedly, every protester who took part in the January uprising and lived through Bloody ThuFriday (Thursday–Friday, January 8-9) is grappling with the same question: What are the obstacles, and what are the solutions ? There is no doubt that the brutal massacre (of tens) of thousands of protesters marked a turning point in the struggle of the working masses to overthrow the Islamic Republic. Yet despite deploying an unprecedented level of violence, the regime failed to achieve its central objective: it was unable to re-establish a level of terror comparable to that of the 1980s. The first clear sign of this failure was the reopening of the Internet in Iran. A torrent of testimonies, images, and revelations flooded the world. People spoke out without fear, and funerals became mass political gatherings. The genocidal violence of Bloody ThuFriday did not paralyze the masses in the way repression did in the 1980s. Instead, it produced defiant spirit remini...

The latest Defeated

 Abbas Goya Note: What follows is an excerpt from a discussion among socialist activists regarding the January uprising. If we analyze the wage earners who rose up in the January uprising solely through a narrow, interest-based lens within the workers' socialist framework, their presumed long-term objective would be the establishment of a socialist state through the political expropriation of capitalism. Yet when we examine the actual composition of the population, the slogans raised, and the immediate unfolding of events, this claim appears excessively imaginative and far removed from reality. And indeed, it is. What bridges the gap between imagination and reality is not spontaneity but the subjective political factor: political activists, both as individuals and as organized forces. Politics is their terrain — and it is not the exclusive domain of socialists. It is no secret that Western ruling classes, through coercion, and manipulation, attempt to install their preferred altern...

Blackshirts monarchists & their raison d'être

Abbas Goya Mussolini, who had previously been a journalist, founded the first fascist government in 1922. His electoral campaign was based on organizing the “Blackshirts” to repress, arrest, and massacre Italy’s communists. Hostility toward communism, in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, was the primary reason for the very existence of fascism. Reza Pahlavi and conscious monarchists know very well that in order to gain acceptance by the U.S. rulers—especially under its current president, Trump—they must demonstrate that they possess the necessary and sufficient capacity for hostility toward leftists, socialists, and communists. From the perspective of the US, the main reason for the transfer of power from the Shah to Khomeini was the Islamists’ high capacity to suppress and eradicate communists. Khomeini made this commitment to Carter and carried it out. For this reason, Reza Pahlavi and Pahlavi loyalists are compelled to show that they are no less than Khomeini and the Isl...
