Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils!
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.https://cpiran.org/statement-of-the-workers-councils-of-arak-all-power-to-the-councils/Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan:
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.>Long live the working class of Iran>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equalityhttps://wp-iraq.com/الى-الامام-273Unconditional support to Iranian workers as they face the full savagery of capital on the local and international fronts.

>>2648976Careful he'll start allahuakbaring now
>>2648976If you are , i understand why you hate Iran thus much. It cannot be downplayed that Iran has played a decisive factor in escalating sectarian tension in the region.
HOWEVER. You can't even get India and China to be in the same page in the name of anti imperialism. The idea that Iran should provide "solidarity" for chauvinist regimes that persecuted Shias and openly talked about dismembering Iran in the name of anti imperial solidarity is completely pants on head retarded
>>2648982I genuinely feel sorry that liberalism has rotten you brain so much you can't comprehend what class struggle is
There are multiple anons spitroasting Iran for supporting western imperialism btw
>when you're so third worldist you revert back to supporting the war on terror
horse shit theory
>>2648985I know what class struggle is dumbass. What you're asking out of Iran is like asking a black man to show working class solidarity to Klansmen
>>2648877>communism advocates the sharing of all things – including wives and homosexuals.Shared homosexuals?
>>2648419The only parties who deserve our support are IRGC, Taliban, and Israel. If you disagree you are a wrecker and an ultra btw.

ATTENTION, PLEASE!
ANYONE who says that the protesters killed were "muh workers" are CONFIRMED shills!
The two main classes who had the most reason to protest were:
1) University students (not proletarian);
2) P-bourgs who want to see the market open up even at the cost of loss of sovereignty.
THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (DSA) FOR ALL SHILLS AND SHILL-ADJACENT IDIOTS!
YOU DON'T GET TO EVOKE "MUH WORKERS" WHEN YOU SERVE FOREIGN CAPITAL!
>>2649202>PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (DSA*PSA
>>2649202>ignore Iranian communists and trust meNah
upcoming thread will have from the ground reports by the hekmatist party of Iran
The OP for the next thread is also terrible. Unconfirmed death toll sourced from a suspicious NGO and a one sided framing of the events. The OP needs to be neutral and cover both sides of the debate.
>>2649224Leftypol is a right wing Zionist website now, so it just reflects the userbase.
I hope some islamist counter-protesters died as well
>>2649224>one sided framing of the eventsYes. The communist side, as it should.
Four local communist orgs are given the spotlight in OP which beats posting al jizzera opinion libshit articles like other low effort threads
>>2649231>2 western NGOs, one based in VirginiaWhere is this source for an official government death toll? AFAIK it doesn't exist and it's sourced from reuters who cite supposed anonymous government officials.
>>2649237Iran's foreign minister said 300 dead half of whom are police which is laughable
>>2649239I don't think that's an accurate representation of the "300 dead" figure if i'm getting my source right.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/15/what-is-hrana-the-us-based-group-behind-irans-death-toll-figures>However, the Iranian government said these numbers have been exaggerated, and Iranian state TV reports put the figure at about 300.>Iran has not released an official death toll, but authorities stated this week that more than 100 members of the security forces have been killed in clashes with protesters. Opposition activists said the toll is much higher and includes more than 1,000 protesters.>“I certainly deny the numbers and figures they have said. It is an exaggeration, it is a misinformation campaign, only to find excuses, only to do another aggression against Iran,” Araghchi (foreign minister guy) said, adding that the number was being exaggerated to involve Trump in the conflict. >>2649255>that's not accurate representation>quotes a source saying the exact same thing?
>>2649260Well for one it doesn't state that it came from the FM and the other quote confirms my position that Iran hasn't put out an official death toll. Which is making me confused regarding the Iranian state TV report.
>>2649209Any ol retard can call themselves commu ists
"Listen to american communists!!!!” and it's hazcels, dsa maoists, patsocs and akkkadrmikkks
>>2649278
It takes me half an hour to check on all the local communist websites and update the OP accordingly. Sorry I don't go on off vibes like you do.
>>2649270I think I have a good guess of what's happening here. The 300 figure from state TV is not a final figure but an initial on-the-fly reporting or estimate. The government still has not produced an official death toll so if you're saying that they claim that that the total number of dead is 300 then that is incorrect.
>>2648915Islamoleftism, unironically. A lot of people in this board have abandoned any sort of independent proletariat position in favor of 'resisting' imperialism by calling for people on the streets to be killed because there is a possibility that there are foreign agents embedded (there always are).
Basically, for most of the retarded campists in this thread, the October revolution should not have happened because Russia was too unstable and in the middle of a war with another empire. These are the kinds of takes we'd have to read from morons here if they lived 110 years ago.
>>2650124>my infallible people's protestHere's a real mind twister to you: on every war's battlefield, it's workers who die, not the ruling classes. It's almost like parasites are dependent on workers installing them into power, or something
>>2649278
probably the same retard who puts "• this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games' in /ukr/
>israel openly claiming they have agents on the ground arming sectarians and shooting civilians
>posters itt mocking it as a conspiracy
>>2649278
irakkki op doesn't want a better op to be made
