Iran: Reports from Days 5 & 6 of the Nationwide Protests

From Anarchist Perspective

Six days have passed since the beginning of this wave of protests, and today, January 3, 2026, the intensity and scope of the clashes in several cities showed that the regime, with all its means of repression... has not been able to clear the streets. Gatherings continued in Tehran, Karaj, Shiraz, Mashhad, Tabriz, Qom, Hamedan, Kermanshah, Ilam, Shahrekord, Yazd, Qazvin, Arak, Bushehr, Babol, Anzali, Khorramabad, Aligudarz, Ramhormoz, and dozens of smaller cities. Protesters built barricades, seized security forces motorbikes, burned regime propaganda banners, stormed police stations...

Circling the Ⓐ: Revolution in a Single Syllable

From No Selves, No Masters

Love it or hate it, the “Circle A” — scrawled on walls, carved in bathroom stalls, printed on punk merchandise or painted on rebellious banners — is among the most widely recognized symbols of anarchy and anarchism. Learning to spray paint the circle A as a teenager is every bit as joyful and liberating (and annoying to adults) as learning the word “no” is for a toddler. Later on, if we grow up into “serious anarchists”, we might learn that it has a deeper symbolic meaning: the circle is not just a circle, but an “O”. “Anarchy is the mother of Order”, they say. Whether or not this is actually true is less relevant than the meaning it holds for militancy1. We’re not just here to rebel and destroy anymore: we want to build a new world in the ashes of the old. No more juvenile “fuck you” graffiti politics for us, thanks.

2015 In Review: A Memoir On The Fascist Resurgence

From Human Iterations by William Gillis

It’s 2015 and I’m sitting on a couch with my roommate, gazing down on another Fuck The Police riot turned street party. The day has been long, the bars have already closed, and we’re both back in our rent-controlled collective house in San Francisco’s Lower Haight, too exhausted to go out and join the rowdies blaring music beneath our window.

Statement of the Anarchist Front in support of popular strikes in Iran

From Anarchist Front

The continuous devaluation of the currency in Iran is not simply an economic crisis, but rather a sign of the collapse of a political-economic order that has eroded and destabilized social life in favor of the accumulation of power and rent. The devaluation of the currency has directly led to the organized transfer of poverty, insecurity, and instability to the lower and middle classes, turning everyday life into a battle for survival.

NO KKKINGS

From PDX Anti-Repression Committee

Operating from within the u.s. empire, there are many contradictions that run rampant in our movements — so much so that sometimes, the movements we foolishly perceive as posing a challenge to the state are actually reinforcing its violence.
