Marxists are pro-centralization, not decentralization. We’re not anarchists/libertarians.

I think we should strive to develop new marxist models of decentralized systems; because a lot of this centralized theory predates widespread use of electricity let alone modern technology and vast advances that have been made in science.

This is how marxism survives and strives; not by being book/model dogma worshippers.

If we apply the same measure to capitalism then we can get hundreds of millions of deaths

Churchill himself is responsible for various deliberately engineered famines and genocides.

And you’re really here crying over some assholes who got executed? Do capitalist countries not execute people? Wanna also talk about all the innocent people CIA killed to defend capitalism?

You’re just arguing in bad faith, regurgitating the same garbage we’ve heard a million times before

The Iranian government has a million times stronger internet filter and news somehow propagates in the middle of a blackout, you somehow think a nation of 1.4 billion people can keep shit under wrap?

Spend some time thinking it’s free

Why? DisplayPort is an open VESA standard

Wtf is China doing

Marxism isn’t about poverty worship, it’s about ending exploitation. Being a rich fuck doesn’t automatically make you evil or something. But you should try to minimize or end exploitation (if any, and as much as possible under a capitalist system). However, for some middle class nobody who doesn’t have the MoP this basically doesn’t mean anything.

Sadly mainstream lemmy has fallen to fucking crackkkers and fucking libs, but it warms my heart that they’re getting fucked w/ 0 lube by MAGA while China is more relevant than ever

Iran has lots of nature to offer, but I highly recommend finding a tour as a foreigner. For visiting history, visit the cities of Tabriz, Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz (inc Persepolis!), Yazd (definitely do go to Yazd), Isfahan and Kashan. If you want to visit ancient history sites, places like Izeh have a few historically significant sites. All of Iran is built on the grave of history, you’ll find no shortage of old ruin to keep you busy…

What’s the political situation like in Iran?

theocratic shitshow

leftist

Got mass executed in the 1980s and there are no real vanguards in Iran to my knowledge. Only anarchist student groups here and there.

What do you think could be done to improve Iran’s current situation?

Socialism is the only path forward!

They are Iranian people who got separate due to imperialism; they are literally Iranian and the efforts to rename their language like Dari are basically historical revisionism projects. I remember an anecdote from an old Afghan lady who said “They came to our schools and changed Farsi to Dari on the book covers one day”. Sadly I cannot source this because I was it on Discord and it’s almost impossible to find now…

Pretty much not at all, unless they’re like born-again or conservative or like that

Look the short answer is that the Iranian diasporoids are notoriously quirked up and they’re usually part of some monarchist/MEK cult/zio cult nonsense, so it’s better not to try rationalizing their positions because they come straight out of a crack pipe

There are people who say Khomeini was a plot against the gLoRiOuS mOnArChY and shit, there are people who fled Iran with lots of stolen money in 1979 and live in LA, there are doomer new gen immigrants who are the most anti-immigration hitlerites you can find

just don’t bother with them they’re mentally fucked

Moonshine lmao, people who are called “Saghi” brew and sell it + you always have to watch out for menthol poisoned supply

Do you want to roam nature or visit historical sites?

Go out with the lads, get high on cheap weed, do some work on personal projects, play video games

We sometimes get drunk but only in parties and such because it’s illegal over here lol

In the West, it’s absolutely fucked.

Same lol the job market is brutal but it’s (maybe?) slightly less fucked here

I mean, imagine the average normie, Probably has some weird political line, spends the day on Instagram, probably thinking about money (economy is rough here man) and just going day to day trying to survive. “average” of any population is more or less the same.

Mostly because the west is dead afraid of Iranian cultural influence (even in areas which have literally been part of Iran until like 200 years ago)

But you should spread the gospel! Go out there and be our ambassador! There are many lesser known Iranian foods that you should tried. Try some kuku, Morghe torsh, Aashe Dooq, Aashe reshteh, etc… I could find you recipes from Iranian internet but you’d have to translate them yourself (I recommend locally running the Aya-23 LLM if you have a powerful PC, it has decent multilingual capabilities)
