I can’t believe i agree with iran.
Samsumawhat’s unbelievable about it
Authoritarian Islamic fundamentalism.
As opposed to western “Divine Secular Absolutism”? Real funny looking words you got there, when stringed together.
Authoritarianism is a dumb, useless and meaningless term, when you understand that every state assumes authority (name me one country that doesn’t assume authority, therefore isn’t “authoritarian”).
1979 happened because you libs couldn’t stop trying to meddle in Iran’s affairs.
Coulda saved spared us from the dogwhistle by just saying “they’re not white”.
Every state has authority over its citizens but some of them let women drive and not have to stay covered up and unable to move around or do anything eithout a man and don’t support child marriage.
Hope this distinction helps!
To be clear fuck Israel they started this shit with Iran and I dont support it. But for you to say Iran isn’t authoritarian is ignorant of the facts.
out of these things you said, so far iran is guilty of only requiring women to stay covered and, to a degree, child marriage (it’s not a state policy, but marriage with girls as young as 9 years old is legal). as far as i know women in iran can drive (the last country where women were not allowed to drive was US ally saudi arabia) and are free to move around, work, study and such, notwithstanding the challenges that women face there (legal discrimination and the oppression that they suffer just by living in a capitalist country).
however, the liberation of women in iran won’t come imposed by other nation states, especially the western capitalist ones, and certainly won’t come as a result of a war against israel. they don’t give a damn about the iranian people, be they women, queer, religious or ethnic minorities. the sionist establishment just want anyone that menace their grip over middle east off their necks, and that’s what the iranian bourgeoisie are doing right now.
if you ask me what i think would be better, the working classes of both countries would team up to seize their military apparatuses and turn them against their elites. if that’s not possible, anything that hurts western imperialism gives the world a small victory, regardless of whoever achieves them. we can take care of whoever punches the west later.
Iranian women have to get permission from their husbands to work and if a husband deems the employment of a woman to insult the honor of the family, he can revoke said permission at any time. If a woman is killed, the nearest living male relative can decide whether or not to forgive the murderer. This decision cannot be made by female relatives. A women’s testimony can always be overruled if a man testifies the opposite. If the family of a murder victim wants to receive money instead of seeing the murdered hanged, the murderer has to pay only half the blood money if the victim was female. Leaving Iran without the husbands permission is prohibited.
Women are routinely banned from certain events like football games or other public spectacles. Women are more often rejected as candidates in “elections”.
Rape has to be proven by at least three witnesses; spousal compensation ends, as soon as women leave their marital home.
Women are second class citizens in Iran. Not just through societal patterns, but by law.
I totally agree with you on your stance towards western involvement, but the amount of people outright denying that the IR is terrible for its people just disgusts me.
then in a sense the west is the biggest ally the islamic government can have, because they are succeeding in rallying the iranian people, even those who are oppressed, to defend their country. and that despite the ayatollahs: so far just small unrepresentative groups are calling for an uprising against the regime. even the tudeh and the toufan are condemning the israeli intervention, and they have plenty of reasons to hate the regime.
davelBut for you to say Iran isn’t authoritarian is ignorant of the facts.
We are not ignorant of the facts, but you are ignorant of your carrying water for Western imperialism. Which is understandable thanks to a lifetime of propaganda, but it’s never too late to stop.
小莱卡Authoritarian as in not allowing westerners to take over the country resources.
PsythikNo, Authoritarian as in not allowing women to have basic human rights.
This is why I don’t like tankies. You claim to be leftist but always support countries with right-wing policies. Lemmygrad has turned your brain to mush.
There are thousands of videos of foreigneirs strolling in Iran where you can see women walking around freely, the narrative youre spewing is a stupid propaganda point to justify a bloody war with Iran.
There is no such thing as a “leftist” that supports a bloody invasion to “liberate women”.
God damn, and here I thought Americans were brainwashed. How are you completely unaware of the protests and uncovered women being kidnapped by government officials? I refuse to believe that someone can be this ignorant of world events. They’re walking around uncovered because they’re protesting the hijab mandate, you fucking donkey. But it’s still a law, designed to oppress women.
But of course you’re already aware of this, so I don’t know why I’m bothering. Nobody can be this ignorant. You’re obviously trolling.
And in America black people get shot for running down the street.
Shut the fuck up.
This is also true. Doesn’t make it right. Black Lives Matter. Oppression is wrong, no matter who’s doing it, plain and simple. America is equally as fucked up.
Seriously, what a dumb rebuttal. Tankies are so fucking retarded. It legitimately upsets me how god damn stupid and ignorant you people are.
yea i am the brainwashed, yet you are the one parroting the media narrative while they’re getting bombed.
look, oppressed women everywhere www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3HVXSMsRCY
