Men deltager i regeringens dikterede valg 21. december 2017, der får næsten samme resultat som i det tidligere parlament.

By Elizabeth Schulte (International Socialist Review, Issue 108, Spring 2018, p.16-29). “#MeToo may have begun with actors and celebrities with access to the media spotlight, but it had the potential to provide a platform for other women to tell their stories—including working-class and poor women who face harassment and assault on the job at alarming rates.”

Hvordan kunne Mugabe bevare magten? Af Karen Helveg Petersen (Arbejderen.dk, 8. december, 2017). “Zimbabwe er et ekstremt eksempel på jordspørgsmålets alvor.

By Louis Proyect (The Unrepentant Marxist, November 19, 2017). “For most on the left, Robert Mugabe was a symbol of anti-imperialist resistance and a shining example of how to promote economic development outside of the Washington Consensus.”
Mugabe’s fall creates a chance for real change in Zimbabwe. By Leo Zeilig (RS21: Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century, November 18, 2017). “We should celebrate the fall of Robert Mugabe. But hypocritical governments like Britain’s that are now attacking him supported him for years.”

Zimbabwe: imperialism, hypocrisy and fake nationalism. By Leo Zeilig (International Socialism, Issue 119, Summer 2008, p.93-110). “It is vital that socialists steer a path between the authoritarian nationalism of Mugabe’s Zanu-PF and Western imperialism that is seeking to pull Zimbabwe back into its orbit.”
Lessons of Zimbabwe. By Mahmood Mamdani (London Review of Book, Vol.30, No.23, 4 December 2008). “Zimbabwe has seen the greatest transfer of property in southern Africa since colonisation … In social and economic – if not political – terms, this was a democratic revolution. But there was a heavy price to pay.” With debate/critique below the article. See also Association of Concerned African Scholars: Reflections on Mahmood Mamdani’s ‘Lessons of Zimbabwe’ (ACAS Bulletin, Issue 82, Summer 2009, 63 p.).
Zimbabwe: from liberation to dictatorship (Socialist Worker, Issue 2046, 10 April 2007). “The struggle against white rule in Zimbabwe in the 1970s galvanised a generation in the hope of a new Africa. Now the country has become a byword for repression. Leo Zeilig traces the death of a dream.”

By Patrick Bond and Richard Saunders (Monthly Review, Vol.57, No.7, December 2005). “When Zimbabwe attained its first independent government in 1980, there were reasons to hope for a bright future … But 1991 was a turning point for Zimbabwe …”

Political reawakening in Zimbabwe. By Patrick Bond (Monthly Review, Vol.50, No.11, April 1999). “This article makes the case that a potent cocktail of dashed hopes is now, finally, evoking a new consciousness and opening up new options for social resistance.”
Capital, state, socialism: Lessons of Zimbabwe. By Tom Meisenheider (Against the Current, Issue 51, July-August 1994). “The Republic of Zimbabwe was born in 1980 with a stated commitment to build a socialist society. By 1990 it made an ‘about-face’ to an avowedly capitalist model of development. What happened?”
Zimbabwe: The xext round. By John S. Saul (Socialist Register 1980, p.170-202). “Marxists and other progressives have quite correctly celebrated the success of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) in the Zimbabwe elections of 27-29 February of this year as a triumph of heroic proportions.”
Southern Africa after Zimbabwe. By Alex Callinicos & John Rogers (International Socialism, Issue 9, Summer 1980, p.1–43). “The victory of ZANU-PF and the installation of Robert Mugabe as prime minister of Zimbabwe proved, as we shall see, to be highly ambiguous.”

Three waves of protest (Weekly Worker, Issue 1333, 4 February 2021).

Iran: a revolutionary opening. By Robert Bechert (Socialism Today, Issue 215, February 2018). “Mass protests in December and January shook Iran’s reactionary regime to the core.

A ‘blue’ generation and protests in Iran. By Aghil Daghagheleh and Zakia Salime (Middle East Report Online, January 22, 2018). “The current protests can best be understood as the emergence of a generation whose members are totally alienated from a political regime they view as superstitious, regressive and backward.”

Alle frygter en massakre i Iran. Af Morten Hammeken (Solidaritet.dk, 29. september 2022). “Internettet er lukket ned, og mange frygter en massakre i Iran. Aida Ghajar, der breakede nyheden om mordet på Mahsa Amini, ser et stort pres på regimet, men frygter også en ekstremt voldelig modreaktion. Den frygt deler både danskere med iransk baggrund og forsker i Irans historie. Alligevel mener de alle, der er sket noget nyt denne gang.”
Den iranske revolution 2022. Af Emil Vatani (Solidaritet.dk, 27. september 2022). “Selv om det langt fra er første gang befolkningen rejser sig i protest, understreger demonstrationerne i Iran, at regimets dage er talte. Det kan risikere at blive meget blodigt at få præstestyret til at slippe sit kvælertag på en befolkning, der kræver forandring.”
