"Nunca he creído que por ser mujer deba merecer tratos especiales. De creerlo, estaría reconociendo que yo soy inferior a los hombres, y yo no soy inferior a ninguno de ellos"
Marie Curie
جبههی مقاومت چون خانوادهای است که مادر آن ایران، و فرزندانش فلسطین، لبنان، یمن و عراق هستند. لبنان برای دفاع از مادر، خود را میان آتش انداخت اما ایران، در لحظهی سخت، پشت به میدان کرد و فرزندش را با تمام زخمهایش، تنها در میان چنگهای ابلیس رها کرد.
I just adore this picture of our comrades Celia Sánchez and Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, resting, reading, thinking, writing, debating......making a revolution.
@salmonthefarsi ۱. قطعاً بخشی ازین رفتار ناشی از عناد ذهنی (بخشی از) مردم با هر آن چیزیه که حاکمیت توصیه یا اجرا میکنه که در خیلی موارد گروتسک میشه. اما درین مورد ماجرا پیچیدهتره. جرمانگاری غذارسانی درحالیکه هیچ قانونی برای حمایت و ساماندهی حیوانات شهری و البته جرمانگاری حیوانآزاری ⬇️
«امپرياليسم، بالاترین مرحلهی سرمایهداری»
منابع و نیروی انسانیِ هر کشور محدود است و بالاخره سرمایهدار برای تکثیر سرمایه به بنبست میرسد. پس نظام سرمایهداری برای بقا ناچار است به کشور ضعیف هجوم ببرد، ثروتش را غارت، و از نیروی کارش بهرهکشی کند. این همان امپریالیسم است.
Palestinians bear no responsibility for what the West did to you.
Palestine was never Europe’s compensation for its own crimes, nor was it theirs to give away.
Leave Palestinian land, return what was taken, and go back to the countries you came from.
By all accounts the Cubans held their ground heroically, I can only imagine the desperate please for help they made to the Venezuelan army only for the dreadful realization to set in that they had been sold.
There is a reason President Maduro's personal security detail consisted of Cuban revolutionaries
Glory to the 32 martyred defending Maduro from US aggression and internal betrayal
The last Shah of Iran's wife still has her makeup on the dresser. His children's slippers are still by the bed. Every private detail frozen in time. It's the only place in Iran I found that hadn't been vandalized and that told me everything. On my first trip to Iran, from Tehran to Shiraz, I toured palace after palace filled with reproduction rugs and state-made dioramas straining to recreate a lost glory. Artifacts were rarely native to their sites, bowls and pendants dug up nearby, donated to the state, and placed where they never belonged. Every corner of Iran’s history I encountered felt vandalized - until I reached Niavaran Palace.
I realized Iran was perfectly capable of preserving its history; the problem was that past governments had sold, neglected, or abandoned it to foreign looters. We’ve long known Western museums hoard the world’s riches. But what jarred me in Iran wasn’t foreign theft, it was that our own governments enabled it.
Recovering from centuries of extraction and decades of complicity in its own looting, Iran cannot rebuild overnight; it must secure its borders, resources, and economy first. Consider America in 1826: a nation of slavery and genocide, expanding over Native ruins. We understand that nation-building is a long, often ugly process of becoming. So why do we refuse Iran the same patience? The Iran of 1980 and the Iran of today are barely recognizable as the same country. In forty-seven years, despite suffocating sanctions and constant threats of foreign intervention, it has made substantial progress. That progress is owed, in part, to a simple fact: the looting stopped. The oil, the minerals, the history however imperfectly guarded are no longer being siphoned away by foreign powers with the blessing of a compliant local elite.
There is a psychological truth that applies to nations as much as to people: a child cannot grow into a stable adult without a stable home. Remove the foundation, and you do not get reform - you get collapse. If you are critical of the Iran you see today, that criticism is valid and necessary. But the question is what you do with it. Toppling the stability of millions, inviting foreign intervention, and cheering for destabilization will not produce the social freedoms you want. It will produce the chaos that precedes another era of extraction. The alternative is to recognize that sanctions are themselves a form of foreign intervention, an economic siege that strangles the very development that makes social progress possible. Advocate for breaking those sanctions. Advocate for economic development, for trade, for the breathing room that allows a society to flourish from within. The social changes you want do not precede stability; they follow it. The rooms in Iran’s palaces may still be empty.
But for the first time in a long time, they belong to Iran.
