Really thoughtful piece. I think this kind of clarity is badly needed.
You don’t have to idealize Iran to understand that it plays a key role in resisting U.S. and Israeli domination of the region. That contradiction matters and it’s the one we have to prioritize.
The left does itself no favors when it treats every state outside the West as equally complicit. Not all power is empire. Not all resistance is reactionary.
There’s room for critique, but it should flow from a position of solidarity, not moral distance.
One thing about the retaliation by Iran is that it is not exactly for the Palestinian cause. While Iran is well within their right to defend itself the war will lead to more civilian destruction.
The way world views Iran is rooted in racism and islamophobia. Not that Iran is a great example for a country, it is far better than western powers who possess WMD.
The world has a great chance to bring forth a revolution by the masses that will challenge the imperialist power who led us into this mess in the first place.
Great read!
