Iranian Protests

pro Persian era fan boyz
How is that a crime?. From what i've red, Iran was a proudly persian country with its own culture/tradition/religion before the islamic led Arabs invasion from Saudi Arabia conquered the country and converted it to islam overtime no? Can we agree that without the Islamic Arab invasion and conquering of Iran then theres a very low chance that Iran will not be islamic today right?

So how is it a crime to be a Persian nationalist? Afterall, it was just due to circumstances if an invasion that you became Islamic , chances are you would have grown up in a different family,culture, religion(not Islam)had that invasions not happened. Don't think that would have made you a sinner or be a crime.
 
Authentic left, and bogus left manufactured by the western ruling class to take aim at movements and governments of the south engaged in anti-imperialist resistance. Fake left acting as infiltrators to try and drive wedges between components of the anti-imperial resistance front.



The Western Left's War on the East​

Ideas from the East are extremely dangerous to liberal modernity and the ruling class has carefully crafted an institutionalized "left" to wage its ideological war.​


Dr. Hassan Ali

Nov 23



Aside from Marx, Engels, and Lenin, my greatest ideological influences have been the Revolutionary Nationalism of Huey Newton, Pan-Africanism of Nkrumah-Toureism, and Chinese Communism in the form of Mao Zedong-, Deng Xiaoping-, and Xi Jinping-Thought. Most recently, big influences have been the Islamic revolution of Iran in the form of Imam Khomeini and Ali Shariati, Eurasianism of Dugin, anti-imperialism of Putin, and Infrared’s Haz. The more my ideas develop by synthesizing these figures, the more I am harassed by white leftists who continue to attack me as “fascist.” My crime? Upholding national self-determination in all forms.

Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a bit of a disordered piece called “New Age Colonizers,” in which I touched on the transformation of racism from an ideology based in pseudoscientific biology to one more centered in a socio-cultural realm. At the time, I was starting to come to a conclusion that I can explain in a more definite form today.

From Neoconservativism to Progressivism​


The neoconservatives of the early 2000s were the primary political formation that upheld Western modernity through liberalism and the idea of universal human rights as a weapon of imperialism. Saving women and children from the patriarchal Muslim men in Iraq and Afghanistan was one of the more popular arguments made to justify invasion. It was quite effective. This essence still exists but in a new form: today’s “woke” Left. They will always ask snarkily, what does woke mean? It very simply describes the socio-cultural positions of the left: liberalism and the idea of universal human rights. However, the new form does have its unique particularities.

For example, the Left largely reduces the women’s question to nothing but the question of abortion. The rare times CPUSA and PSL will talk about women, they will talk about abortion. The women’s movement is unquestionably wider than that. It criticizes prostitution and gender ideology, demands more for motherhood, childcare, among other things. These women are dismissed as SWERF, TERF, etc. The mass of women who also question the position of totally unrestricted access to abortion (a very rare policy in the world as a whole) are similarly dismissed. However, the left will very strikingly go above and beyond to adress the women’s question in regards to Iran, for example. Suddenly the woman-haters are feminists!

Another clear example is the LGBT political movement. Most recently, Qatar came under criticism for not allowing LGBT imagery at the world cup. Arrogant Westerners knowingly flouted this rule and then took to social media to complain about the censorship and “authoritarian” crackdowns on their actions, without respect for the wishes of the host country. Suddenly, the Islamic world is back in the cross hairs of the West, but this time by the progressive left.


When beloved Chinese journalist, Chen Weihua, expressed agreement with Qatar’s right to it’s own rules, he was confronted with some really arrogant and deluded responses from Communism-experts in the West. To share a few highlights:


A core tenant of Marxism-Leninism, even acknowledged by these Leftists, is the right to national self-determination. What they don’t tell you is that this self-determination comes with a clause: abide by our values or don’t exist at all. In my previous organizing work, I noticed this in the context of a local Indigenous nation, the Shinnecock. They were in continuous legal battles against the township of the Hamptons, notoriously filled with summer homes of rich Manhattenite liberals. One of the issues was that the town would not let them build a casino on their own legally adjudicated land. In one of our coalitions, which was put together as a sovereignty mission, leftists criticized the tribe for “engaging in capitalism.” Who are they to criticize a tribe fighting to do as they please on their own land?

I’ve noticed that anti-imperialist campaigning for Cuba has very strongly relied on fore-fronting Cuba’s cultural positions in order to win over leftist support into anti-sanction work, especially to appeal to Western academics. On a solidarity trip I took part in, the bulk of discussions during orientation revolved around culture, as if the participants were vetting the country. Cuba and it’s allies should continue doing whatever they find effective, that is not the issue. My question is, would Leftists support Cuba in the same way if Cuba had different cultural positions? I highly doubt it. Cuba would be victim to even further defamation than it already is. Cuba deserves national sovereignty no matter their social and political alignment. For that matter, the same applies to Syria, Iran, Russia, and so on.

Most ironically, leftists who make revolutionary nationalism a central thesis to their ideology, don’t hold any nationalism themselves. This nihilist void which emerges by either growing up in a “World Citizen” metropolis or by being completely detached from their own families and communities, is filled by a globalist (neoliberal) value system. This value system is institutionally reproduced by academia, NGOs, media, and corporate human resources. Most importantly, this value system has absolutely no influence from any of the figures I mentioned in the introduction. Rather, it is defined by the current iteration of European modernity, in the form of Anglo-Zionist reasoning and rationalism based in the individual free man within bourgeoisie democracy. Systems of governance that are practiced in Russia, China, or even Afghanistan, for example, exist outside of this and thus their value systems are invalid.

Returning to my way of thinking being attacked as fascism, the leftists who do this, are influenced by the New Left. Their ideologies, most notably postmodernism, are in full effect whether or not they realize it. The influences of Foucault, Judith Butler, the Frankfurt School, and others are deeply embedded in the thinking of the modern left. There is no question of this. If interested, Gabriel Rockhill’s work aptly summarizes some of this history. It’s ironic that those influenced by Western intellectuals have the audacity to deride Eastern ideas as fascist.

The Threat of the East​

Ideas of the East are extremely dangerous to liberal modernity. Dugin’s daughter was murdered for writing, thinking, and speaking for the East. Dugin himself is one of the very rare authors to have his books totally banned from Amazon (though he is more than welcomed in Chinese spaces). You can’t buy books by him, only books about him. Iran is another major target because ideas of the Islamic Revolution not only unify the Iranian people against imperialism, but also find purpose in being a lifeline to other resistance movements such as in Palestine. Finally, the biggest threat of all is Chinese Communism. This ideology has nothing to do with modernity. Their thinking is a genuine continuation of their own indigenous philosophies, armed and transformed by Marxism-Leninism, an ideology which was proved in practice thus far solely by revolutionaries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Moving to a point that infuriates me the most, the United States is in a war with Russia. The self-proclaimed anti-imperialists in the United States continue to fence-sit at best, even though their own government is arming Nazis against a sovereign Russia. Why does Russia not earn their full support? “Putin is not a communist.” “The Communist Party of Russian Fed. is homophobic.” “Christian nationalism is fascism.” The last one gets me the most. If that is true, Islamic nationalism has to be fascist too and that puts all Islamic Republics, from Pakistan to a future liberated Palestine, in the crosshairs of the Left.

China says U.S. uses 'rules-based order' to whitewash its atrocities - CGTN
This is New Age Colonialism. Racism is no longer bound within differences in biology. This was proven wrong long ago and with plenty of evidence. We are all one people. Racism is now bound in culture, more specifically, in value systems on national and civilizational levels. The vanguard of this way of thinking is the left. In a previous work, I wrote about how the diversity and inclusion project seeks to integrate peoples who come from ways of being outside of liberalism into liberal institutions, welcoming them no matter their race. In the case of Black Americans, they are welcome as long as they don’t support Trump or criticize media though it seems. Liberal law.

We Communists must draw a line of distinction from “leftism.” We are left by nature of our revolutionary position, but we cannot be allied with the racist institutional left.

 
I thought Jamahir left the forum lol

Yes, I had self-exiled months ago because the forum had been taken over by mullahs, Hindutvadis, NATO propagandists and fighters against Russia and Capitalists in general. But I had been reading the forum regularly and I saw the 'Post my type of girl' thread which drew me back.

But I returned to find it generally sem-to-sem, also finding three new committed mullahs - Bilal9 ( Bangladesh ), Nabil ( Tunisia ) and SalarHaqq ( Iran, supporting the mullah government which has been murdering Iranis and Iraqi Kurds for the last four months including two-year-olds ). And Areesh lodged a blasphemy complaint against me and the mullah mod PakSword banned me. That complaint thread has been locked last night because sensible members have been questioning Areesh and co. but I will create a thread on this soon.

We Communists must draw a line of distinction from “leftism.” We are left by nature of our revolutionary position, but we cannot be allied with the racist institutional left.

"We Communists" ? He says this :
Most ironically, leftists who make revolutionary nationalism a central thesis to their ideology, don’t hold any nationalism themselves. This nihilist void which emerges by either growing up in a “World Citizen” metropolis or by being completely detached from their own families and communities, is filled by a globalist (neoliberal) value system.
Communism believes in a borderless world, without nations and their defending militaries, and desires the abolition of the family system because it is the first social layer of political, social and socio-economic oppression and inequality. Communism also stands against the oppressor clergy and cultural irrationality. Who is this fellow Dr. Hassan Ali who says "We Communists" but goes on to defend the artificial concept of Nation and the more older artificial and oppressive concept of family ? And also defends Khomenei the priest ?

- Organized incinerations of a symbol of Islamic piety, the hejab garment.

Ah, hijab is a symbol of "Islamic piety" but what seems to be not is not remembering Mahsa's father declaring four months ago to the mullahs who stopped him from seeing his tortured daughter's body during burial : "You killed a girl for showing two strands of hair ?". Are you saying that murder is this something called "Islamic piety" ?

- Assaults against citizens who look religious. Like the two persons assaulted by Mahan Sedarat Madani in Tehran. The same Madani had previously published pictures of multiple beer cans he was apparently in possession of.

I want alcohol abolished but I can show you pictures and news of males who look "religious" but rape boys in the same type of seminaries that the Irani revolutionaries are burning down.

- In at least one documented instance, pulling off a religious woman's chador.

Why didn't she pull it off herself when so many female co-Iranis are doing it publicly despite being hunted down by the oppressor government ? Unless she choose to remain with the oppressors.

Iran is another major target because ideas of the Islamic Revolution not only unify the Iranian people against imperialism, but also find purpose in being a lifeline to other resistance movements such as in Palestine.

Oh please. That Israel-government-seeded Hamas mullahs is no Palestinian resistance. Hamas was seeded by Israel government in the 1980s to counter the PLO which is an umbrella movement of secular Communists and Socialists, including unlike your Dr. Hassan Ali. This is my thread about the account of a Japanese woman whose mother was one of the founders of the Japanese Red Army ( Communist ) and father was a progressive Palestinian fighter. The account is personal experiences but the background is of pan-human, internationalist progressive collaboration, something that those Hamas mullahs can never be and what have they brought to Gaza in the 15 years they have dictated there, except burqas and socio-economic suicides ?

There's nothing new to my commitment, apparently it's you who didn't pay attention then.

The Islamic Republic has been subject to constant, multi-pronged aggression from the zio-American empire and its long list of clients and proxies, including but not limited to armed separatist organizations pretending to represent Kurdish Iranians. The Islamic Republic has been protecting Iranian citizens with all its might from this ongoing onslaught. Hence why Iranians have been enjoying highest levels of security in a chronically unstable neighborhood.

In recent cross-border operations, Iran targeted zionist- and western-sponsored terrorists stationed on Iraqi soil - not "Kurds" per se and certainly no "two year olds". The separatist grouplets in question have been murdering Iranian border guards for decades (among whom scores of Kurdish-speaking Iranians) and have represented a potential threat to some of Iran's westernmost provinces.

A perfectly sound and legitimate move by Iran, one which any government regardless of ideology would have conducted.

Communism believes in a borderless world, without nations and their defending militaries, and desires the abolition of the family system because it is the first social layer of political, social and socio-economic oppression and inequality. Communism also stands against the oppressor clergy and cultural irrationality. Who is this fellow Dr. Hassan Ali who says "We Communists" but goes on to defend the artificial concept of Nation and the more older artificial and oppressive concept of family ? And also defends Khomenei the priest ?

Dr. Hassan Ali understands that the globalism promoted by western ruling elites, complete with its undermining of the nuclear family structure and national borders, serves nothing but the capital.

It is, thence, the duty of every communist to resist this plot.

Ah, hijab is a symbol of "Islamic piety" but what seems to be not is not remembering Mahsa's father declaring four months ago to the mullahs who stopped him from seeing his tortured daughter's body during burial : "You killed a girl for showing two strands of hair ?". Are you saying that murder is this something called "Islamic piety" ?

Amini declared earlier that his late daughter had experienced brain surgery in her childhood. There weren't any signs of torture on Mahsa Amini's body. I mean, how in the world is she exactly supposed to have been tortured in a relatively small van packed with multiple other people who'd been arrested, while the van was in motion?

The CCTV footage of her leaving the police car is crystal clear: no person subjected to lethal violence will be able to move in such an undisturbed manner. So are her CT scans, published by anti-IR media to boot - again no sign of physical injury to the head and torso.

This is hard evidence, and weighs more than unsubstantiated claims.

I want alcohol abolished but I can show you pictures and news of males who look "religious" but rape boys in the same type of seminaries that the Irani revolutionaries are burning down.

1) This is not such a frequent occurrence in Iran's seminaries.
2) Paedocriminality is more widespread among irreligious perpetrators.
3) Those who set fire to the seminaries never mentioned paedocriminality. It's their rabid antagonism against Islamic governance which motivated them. Some of them are harboring islamophobic sentiments too. Which is what I was aiming to illustrate, and I believe I fulfilled the task well enough.

This interjection of yours is therefore off-topic.

Why didn't she pull it off herself when so many female co-Iranis are doing it publicly despite being hunted down by the oppressor government ? Unless she choose to remain with the oppressors.

Peaceful, law-abiding citizens normally aren't troubled in Islamic Iran. Much rather, the opposite has now been the case: law enforcement and religious people faced brutal attacks in a torrent of irrational hatred, at the hands of raging gangs of liberals and ultra-nationalists brainwashed by western-controlled media.

Pious females will not compromise on their religious beliefs to satisfy the zionist and NATO agenda of so-called "regime change" against the legal and legitimate government of Iran.

You're siding with a minority group consisting mostly of culturally westernized liberals and ultra-nationalists, who were incited to riot by western- and Saudi-funded propaganda broadcasters.

Is it thus surprising, that the only person to 'like' your foregoing post happens to be the resident zionist, a user handle that has been observed inviting themself to different Iranian forums for over a decade, with no purpose other than reproducing mainstream media propaganda against the Islamic Republic? Shouldn't this fact alone be telling you something about Iran's struggle against zionist occupation and mischief?

Oh please. That Israel-government-seeded Hamas mullahs is no Palestinian resistance. Hamas was seeded by Israel government in the 1980s to counter the PLO which is an umbrella movement of secular Communists and Socialists, including unlike your Dr. Hassan Ali. This is my thread about the account of a Japanese woman whose mother was one of the founders of the Japanese Red Army ( Communist ) and father was a progressive Palestinian fighter. The account is personal experiences but the background is of pan-human, internationalist progressive collaboration, something that those Hamas mullahs can never be and what have they brought to Gaza in the 15 years they have dictated there, except burqas and socio-economic suicides ?

This is emblematic of the confusion in your thinking.

Firstly Hamas didn't impose the wearing of burqas on Gazan females. Secondly even if they did, how exactly would this preclude them from engaging in anti-zionist Resistance all the same? Resistance is not the monopoly of a single political obedience, something you're still failing to account for.

Case in point, and to familiarize you some more with Iranian history and politics, the very first modern anti-imperialist upheaval in Iran was the 1891-1892 Tobacco Revolt. Initiated by clerics, and led by ayatAllah Mirza Mohammad Hassan Shirazi, whose fatwa proved decisive in mobilizing the Iranian people against the treasonous concession granted by the Qajar government to the British.


PLO and Fatah have meanwhile abandoned any meaningful Resistance against zionist occupiers, they've recognized the zionist regime and placed themselves under its yoke in the West Bank. These are facts. We don't live in the 1970's anymore, I'd suggest to adjust to contemporary realities. Nowadays Hamas is the largest Resistance faction in Palestine, like it or not.

In terms of relevance, Hamas is followed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which under various aspects has an even closer relationship to Iran. The PIJ cannot be accused of having enjoyed initial clemency from the zionist regime so as to act as a counterweight to the PLO.

Furthermore, your statement obfuscates the fact that Islamic Iran will extend assistance to any Palestinian Resistance formation irregardless of their ideological orientation. Hence why the secular left-wing PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) is also among local recipients of Iranian aid.

The same logic presides over Islamic Iran's principled alliance with nations such as Syria, Korea and Venezuela. In this international Resistance front, individual actors understand that hypothetical ideological nuances shall never stand in the way of cooperation towards the shared priority objective. Whilst they are fully aware of this, NATO's / Isra"el"'s patsies and shills spend their time contrasting these brothers in Resistance with one another and trying to stir divisions between their respective support bases. A behaviour bound to play into the hands of the global oppressors.

Now if you'll excuse me, please cease quoting me when I'm not addressing your comments. Kindly respect my wish, as I have little interest in these types of exchanges.

I feel betrayed by you after supporting you fully when that Greek-German young man threatened to report you to EU authorities because you were supporting Russia while living in EU. How things turned.

I am grateful for the solidarity you expressed in that situation. In return, when you were upset to the point of deciding to leave this place for good, I wrote a long supportive message in response to your post (perhaps you noticed).

But how am I betraying you personally when I'm merely sticking to my previously held convictions? With regards to recent events, you chose to take sides against an anti-imperialist, Islamic Revolution I feel sympathy for, and accusations you level against it aren't fair in my eyes. So what did you expect I'd do, turn my coat even though it's uncalled for?

When I express the wish not to interact with you on this matter, it's because I don't want to have to confront you, considering how our outlooks might tend to converge on some other topics.

Instead, I'll invite you to proceed with additional research on modern Iranian history while keeping an open mind and taking into account what Iranian users here and friends of the Islamic Revolution elsewhere have to say. I don't think this is unjust on my part.

So in europe people cant have different opinion, they have to worship and follow EU religion, don't they? And they takes online/offline classes of democracy and liberalism. This is why i take extra precautions to approach them.

Its embarrassing every time westerners act this way. This is their true nature.

Eight years after Paris terrorist attacks, 'Charlie Hebdo' caricatures Iran's mullahs


The satirical weekly is publishing a special issue on Wednesday, January 4, mocking Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in support of the protests in Iran.

The total or partial reproduction of an article, without the prior written authorization of Le Monde, is strictly forbidden.
For more information, see our Terms and Conditions.
For all authorization requests, contact droitsdauteur@lemonde.fr.


As part of the special "January 7" issue, commemorating the anniversary of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack, the satirical weekly chose to support Iranian men and women and to, in the words of the front page, "beat the mullahs."

A wave of protests and repression has ravaged the country for nearly four months after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman arrested by the morality police for violating the dress code requiring women to wear head coverings in public, on September 16, 2022. Human rights organizations report that at least 503 civilians have been killed since then.

Charlie Hebdo responded by launching an international contest called "Mullahs Get Out" on December 8, 2022. For an entry to be selected, the magazine advised that a cartoon of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei should be the "funniest and meanest" possible. "Cartoonists and caricaturists have a duty to help support Iranians in their struggle as they fight for their freedom, by ridiculing this religious leader who represents the past and casting him into history’s garbage bin," urged Charlie Hebdo.




This is how they advertised it :

Tehran Faces Severe Water Crisis With Reservoirs Only 14% Full


Tehran is confronted by the prospect of a severe water crisis. The Iranian capital’s water management utility has announced that the five key dam reservoirs that serve the city are now only 14% full, Tejarat News reported on January 3.

Resources in the dam reservoirs are rapidly dwindling due to a combination of climate change, resources mismanagement and over-extraction. As a result, Tehran heading into 2023 is experiencing very substantial water shortages. Residents face requests to drastically cut water usage.

According to recent state TV reports, the Latian dam reservoir located northeast of the city is nearly empty following a prolonged drought that has impacted the region for two straight years.

The crisis has been exacerbated by the city’s rapid population growth driving up water demand. The population stands at around 10mn in the city proper and 16mn in Greater Tehran. Available infrastructure has not been able to keep up with the rising demand for water in Tehran, leading to shortages of clean, potable supplies.

The situation has become so dire that the government implements drastic measures to conserve water during summer months. They include limiting water usage in public places, imposing fines on those who use too much water and even shutting off water provision to certain city districts.

The head of the National Center for Climate and Drought Crisis Management, Ahad Tazif, said: "Due to the [insufficient] amount of rainfall, harvesting from wells for Tehran's water supply creates many challenges. There is no supervision on harvesting from the main rivers. At the same time, the authorities are announcing new constructions [for dwellings], which is a gross mistake."

He added: "If we can't improve the situation, at least don't destroy it. This year, we are facing a drought like last year, and the decrease in dam reserves is worse than last year."

The central government has promised to address the water crisis. It has allocated funds for improving the city's water infrastructure including the retrofitting of a sewer system across Tehran to retrieve watershed.

However, it will take time for these measures to have an impact and, in the meantime, the people of Tehran will continue to face the challenges of living in a city without sufficient water.

In many places across Iran, the situation is often described as just as dire. National water monitoring authorities said that by the start of this month, Iran’s water reserves were down to 40% of targeted capacity.

Tazif also said: "The amount of rainfall in the country has not been sufficient to replenish wells, so they are no longer as sustainable as they used to be. If we continue to extract water from these wells without proper replenishment, we will face many challenges in the future."

Next up for Tehran are substantial water shortages likely to afflict the city across the ongoing winter and upcoming spring. Poor rainfall levels are forecast. It’s a dire outlook for city inhabitants also contending with an air pollution crisis that intensifies in frigid winter air.
