The mid-1930s witnessed a truly national anti-fascist mass movement, far beyond East London, as confrontations with the BUF took place in city after city in these pivotal years.
This important study of revolutionary movements by John Rose repays reading. Its chapter on the Iranian Revolution, centres the workers' movement & their organisations & the failure of the Iranian left to link struggles for economic liberation with those against oppression.
My latest review looks at an inspiring book that celebrates how workers' fought and struggled in 1926. Charlie Kimber and Judy Cox's important socialist history, "Revisting the General Strike of 1926: when workers were ready to dare". https://t.co/BavgefauzF

Great review of A People's History of the Anti Nazi League:
"This book is far more than a nostalgic historical account, it is an essential lesson in how people successfully came together to unite and beat back the fascists. I urge you to read it but also apply it," Matt Foot
A fascinating article in Camden New Journal about the 1975 walk out by journalists at the paper protesting the decision to run adverts for a rally by the Nazi National Front - an event recalled in Geoff Brown’s A People’s History of the Anti Nazi League
Citing an Italian who joined today’s strike in Italy:
‘We blocked Venice's port and so many others, free palestine 🇵🇸 not a nail will pass, not one container. We are doing it for you, we always think about you, you aren't forgotten’ 😭😭😭

The 500th anniversary of the German Peasants' War has led to me visiting an unusual collection of places. I was very pleased to speak at the Deutsche Kirche in Liverpool last night. An engaging audience with lots of questions and dicussions about the role of religion in revolt.
