      They didn’t get the memo when the theocratic faction assassinated all the leftists that had been their allies during the revolution so that they could make a right-wing theocracy instead of something leftist. The CIA-backed regime was removed, so because tankies have ‘read theory’ and the theory they’ve read says revolutions always go well, Iran must surely be a socialist state well on its way to becoming a communist utopia.

      Dude is like “Well the alternative is being colonized by Israel and US.”

      Seriously, it is possible to not lick any boots.

        And Iran isn’t a colonizer with Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and various other groups operating around the Middle East just fucking things up for everyone else?

        Or do you just use the word “colonizer” to dehumanize people of ethnicities that you hate?
