The problem with liberals, should I can you a liberal? The problem with liberals is they call everyone with a point they don’t understand a tankie.
We can agree that the current government is very oppressive, and we can agree that it would be great to replace them.
What we can’t seem to get across to you is that being able to show your hair everywhere and wear skirts again is not worth giving away the country’s future by giving control of your oil to the US and helping expand your genocidal neighbor Israel. That’s what’s on offer, not freedom and liberation, but liberal/secular civil laws and a puppet dictatorship to ensure you never say you’re unhappy again.
Iran will seem like it’s flourishing, western media will broadcast images of women in bikinis at the beach and the shah being celebrated in parades, economic sanctions will be removed and cost of living will improve for a lot of people, some people will be rich again as corruption runs rampant but that will be reported on as the success of capitalism. The poor will be worse off, the dictator will disappear anyone who dares question him, just like his father did. And Iran will become a country that lives off US subsidies and military contacts, like every other middle eastern country with a US puppet.

Do you think these liberals should read theory?
I’d be fucking happy if they read Dr Seuss
