    You can support them against imperialism, while still disagreeing with them as an authoritarian state.

    Critical support should never mean complete support.

      You can oppose Trump’s war because it hurts the people of Iran the same way you can oppose the Iranian government because it hurts the people. These are not conflicting stances to make.

      No, Mia. The religion is 100% imperialist. What this only showed is that Iran is still a capitalist nation first, the religious hazing is only a bonus.

      You don’t dethrone an empire with another. That’s what campists do.

        Support Iran against American imperialism.

        I don’t agree with the Iranian state, but I support them defending themselves against the US/Israel.

          Metoo, but I don’t support Islam against people. In this very instance, capitalism won. But if Anita Papist didn’t have money, she would have left with more than just US hazing.
