Absolute coward shit that the very first thing you feel the need to do is denounce Iran given everything that's going on
Just because the US and Israel have decided to be an axis of evil doesn't mean that the Iranian government is all of the sudden good guys.
The Iranian people are victims and all of this. They did try democracy and we bombed them for it. Their government is not run by good people and that is also our fault.
Abstract moralism is the luxury of those shielded by imperialism. To condemn Iran in a vacuum like you do, is liberal idealism. The material reality is a state under constant siege by U.S. capital and its Zionist proxy.
While the Islamic Republic is problematic, its resistance objectively fractures imperialist hegemony. Orthodox Marxists offer critical support: we defend Iran's sovereignty against sanctions and regime change as a blow against the imperial core, while maintaining political independence from their theocratic policies. We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
To ignore the principal contradiction (Imperialism vs. Oppressed Nation) is social-imperialism.
