i celebrate it as a potential feather that might break the horse’s back for the man on the right (including everything that he represents), and i regret the loss of lives and needless violence just to keep a hundred or so cannibalistic, pedophilic, psychopathic oligarchs in control of the world.
Unfortunately imperialist actions like this don’t really “Wake people up” Most people are completely unaffected and the only ones who care are related to the issue or are already involved in anti imperialist messaging and organizing. If you ask anybody they prob have a very middle position of not wanting a war but also hating iran and thinking its justified. very “whats to be done” kinda ppl
The deaths are needless, to truly speak to the masses we ourselves have to go out and speak to the masses and organize.
What kind of person the Ayatollah was is completely irrelevant to the fact that the strikes on Iran are illegal and an attempt to overthrow one regime and replace it with another regime that kowtows to US-Israeli interests. If the Iranian government was exactly the same but was US-Israel allied instead, nothing would have been done. See: Saudi regime.
Talking only about the character of the Ayatollah and ignoring the criminal actions of the fascist US regime only helps Trump and helps to normalise these actions.

taps the sign
Things don’t happen in a vacuum. Millions of people have been killed in the past 30 years with tacit liberal support in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc, usually with this exact opinion being given. The death of one man doesn’t mean Iran is going to improve their laws. Imperialism causes unintended death and blowback. There will be consequences for us all
That I agree, you’re absolutely right, but I still can’t stop being glad that the tyrant is finally dead. Unfortunately like you said things are only going to get worse to the Iranian people.

Is there an option to not support anyone?
Not really, but there is critical support, which is how Marxists see this situation.
Critical support is supporting something while also being critical of its flaws. It is often used in the context of supporting bourgeois states that fight against imperialism or are under imperialist aggression.
No you either support imperialist invasions or you don’t. There is no fence to sit on.
Nope. Think of it like a trolley problem.
