 - All the struggles post 79, have been fighting for the right to dissent, for the right to have a say in the political process and fundamentally against the hegemony of the Islamic Republic.
 - Irans government is repressive af. The political economy has devolved into an economy controlled by the IRGC and supporting this brutal system only because it is anti-imperial, is quite literally throwing the Iranian people under the bus, because we think anti-imperialism is more important than their voice!
