@avispartan1 Buddy, you said minorities oppressed by a government should just accept it for their own good. You wanna talk about fascism? You're one of them lmaoooo
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 The point is that Iran's regime IS theocratic because of the social norms it rolled back from the days of the Shah and have only begrudgingly started to return barely after excessive violence to resist its youth.
How does it not fit as reactionary then if it regressed so much?
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 Iran's revolution was betrayed by the Clerics who purged the leftists of it. Iran's destiny was to be of a socialist republic, not this reactionary joke of a regime.
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 The IR is also rabidly anti-Communist which fits the typical definition of reactionary in leftist circles. But also of course, one only has to compare to how women's rights regressed under the IR by the literal photos that came out of the country both before and after '79.
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 1: Since when/why should this stop us Leftists from pushing for beneficial change towards the emancipation of the working class?
2: "Counter-revolutionary how"
My. Brother. In. Christ. Do. You. Think. A .THEOCRACY. Is. Revolutionary. In. The. Leftist. Sense?
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was betrayed by the Clerics. They stabbed the Iranian left in the back, and then massacred it to such a point it barely exist as an active force in the home country!
Its government is by all definitions reactionary.
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 A socialist thinking we can't support causes of oppressed peoples? I'm against the war with Iran too, genius, yet I'll also support any action by the Iranian people against Iran's regime.
Why on earth we even have this discussion to defend a counter-revolutionary gov is nuts.
@aqsa_immortal@WalterWalt10252 Women who contribute in the enforcement of patriarchy are collaborators to the Iranian regime, yes. Fuck strict gender roles and segregation, when did leftists become so conservative on the dignity of people's right to live freely when its outside the West?
@eciVice@WalterWalt10252 "You dislike the reactionary oppressive theocracy that treats women like shit. You must therefore like bombing schools huh?"
Incredible leaps of logic! What do you want, a fucking medal?
@HandsOffDPRK@Mantispie >DPRK
Yeah no shit, there are no other people besides Koreans to oppress in North Korea
>Mao's China
lol. I highly doubt all the sinoization efforts done on minorities constitute not oppressing other nations within China.
@cody_1917@sapphyreblayze Ah yes, because leftists have never once disliked someone because of ideological differences.
Secondly, my point is that you said she would have been begging to live in the IR again if it was communist which is certainly a thing to say. As you said in your first line.
@cody_1917@sapphyreblayze She literally was a communist and the whole point is that a communist state is meant to emancipate the working class of all walks of life. Do you honestly think that a communist society would have things on par with morality police or theocratic dogma running society?
