Do you ever like, watch a walk through of cities or places elsewhere in the world? Just uncut everyday walk through a city?
There is a Chinese women on YouTube who does this and her videos are very grounding. Walking around Siria or Iran and having a very normal experience; people being generous, being funny, being cool, set against their conditions which are often very difficult.
You might not know these people lived under a “theocracy” based on her direct experience. People are just living their lives, working, watching children, going to school, going to church, playing games, listening to music.
Yes. Precisely what I mean. We should not allow ourselves to make bad analysis over what will improve or destroy the lives of people based on ideological dogma. Do I think there are better systems than a theocratic one? Absolutely. Is it attacking the state at a moment of intensification of imperialism going to do anything to improve anyone’s lives or is it literally siding with the imperialism in an online information war for vibes control?
The answer is the latter, obviously.
The Iranian state is absolutely not perfect but it has presided over drastic improvements of people’s lives and the only alternative is what happened to Libya. I will side with the theocracy when the alternative is imperialism. The primary contradiction comes first, then socialism when the conditions are right.
