Says the cretin parroting Western Liberal propaganda. Our government is nothing like Stalin and Hitler. Hitler was a western atheist, so more like a western secularist who are all atheists any way, and Stalin was an atheists as well. If anything it shows that liberal secularism is the bastard child of atheism and communism. You can also stick your one tick every 4 year democracy where the doesnt shine. Yeah, lets all pick our favourite dictator every 4 years and pretend we're free lol
Come back to us when you've figured what pronoun you want to be called.
This subject is labeling Iran a "dictatorship", while absolving a regime which exterminated several hundreds of thousands, according to some sources up to 1,5 million of its own citizens after a CIA- and Mossad-backed coup d'Etat. Under the pretext of containing communism, the population of entire villages was massacred (as in Bali), females beaten to death, mass summary executions orchestrated by the army and countless others murdered by mobs.
This is while Iran is incomparably more democratic than liberal so-called democracies of the west (as well as a country such as Indonesia), because in Iran one of the two main political camps cometing at elections, namely the liberal one (reformists & moderates), is pursuing Gorbachev-style "regime change" from within and doing the bidding of the country's existential geopolitical enemies. Show me one liberal "democracy" which allows this much dissent.
Their likening of Iran with "I"SIS or the Taleban sounds pretty comical as well, considering how all sorts of communal violence could be seen erupting in Indonesia over the past decades, often involving pseudo-jihadist terrorists which more than one informed analyst believes were covertly backed by the Indonesian military. You should see how they wrecked havoc in places such as Ambon or the Maluku islands, randomly persecuting Christians for no tangible reason other than their religious denomination. Compare this with the safety Christian Iranians are enjoying.
Not to mention the civil strife in Kalimantan on Borneo island in the early 2000's (with beheadings galore), nor the counter-insurgency wars the Indonesian army was fighting in East Timor (which eventually gained independence), Sumatra and Irian Jaya (New Guinea).
Here's an academic publication on the culture of violence in Indonesia after the liberal-democratic transition of 1998:
Elisabeth Fuller Collins, Indonesia: A Violent Culture?, Asian Survey 42 (4), August 2002.
To each his own, and you will never see me speaking ill of Indonesia unless provoked (which obviously is the case here) as I do not harbor any hostility towards that nation, but for a rather uncritical supporter of the regime in Jakarta to come lecture Iranians about democracy, critical thinking and appeased socio-political life, it takes quite the nerve.
