      2004: Communists are against fascist religious tyranny in Afghanistan!

      2011:Communists are against fascist religious tyranny in Libya!

      2015:Communists are against fascist religious tyranny in Syria!

      2022:Communists are against fascist religious tyranny in Palestine, free Palestine from Hamas!

      What does siding against the governments of these places mean? Oh right, in every case it means siding with the rapacious genocidal US empire. How interesting of you to leave that out, you Totally Real Communist you.

      If you oppose the Iranian government, do you think whatever replaces it will be better if Mossad and the CIA overthrow it?

        I mean, that’s how we got here, so I guess doubling down will only take us to where we are, but with extra effort.

          The current government overthrew the US backed monarchy, so in a way it was caused by US intervention but indirectly.

      You don’t have to agree with the regime to know US/Israeli attempts to over throw it will be worse for the Iranian people. The external contradiction facing Iran must be overcome before the internal contradictions can be resolved. There is no social growth under imperial boots.

      If you are claiming to be a communist then please apply material analysis

        “Coming into power” is putting the cart before the horse. The odds of regime change don’t look good, and what would replace it hasn’t been decided. I doubt “crown prince” Reza Pahlavi is still a serious contender.
