This Tuesday & Sunday, Kaurna Yerta/Adelaide: The US and Israeli war on Iran was designed to weaken a regime that has challenged imperialism. Ever since Iran’s 1979 revolution, the US has sought revenge against Iran’s Shia Muslim theocracy and has demanded regime change. But Iran’s government also represses its own people and works to build its own wealth and power across the region.
This discussion meeting will look at why the West hates Iran and why US and Israeli bombing does nothing to help the fight for democracy inside Iran.
The meeting will be run twice:
• 6 pm Tuesday 22 July: inner south west, contact 0447 362 417 for location
• 3:30 pm Sunday 27 July: Meeting Room 5, Spence Wing, State Library of South Australia

AUKUS nuclear submarines and Australia's alliance with the US make the world more dangerous and are a colossal waste of money. The Greens and others advocate weapons to ‘defend Australia’ as the alternative. Join me at this informal discussion on Kaurna Yerta/Adelaide about why socialists reject this nationalist solution.
Onto the second part then

Join me for one of these meetings on Kaurna Yerta/Adelaide to discuss the life and work of pioneering Polish-German socialist Rosa Luxemburg, and the lessons for activists today. Luxemburg defended the need for revolution to end the horrors of capitalism. Her ideas were tragically confirmed by the outbreak of the first world war.
