[Marxism] 2 views on the Iran election

[Politicus E.]

Mage wrote that "[I am] a disgusting sycophant who sees pictures of
fascist police beating students and sides with the fascists."

Your error is the premise that the Iranian state is fascist.  This is
a view that illustrates little appreciation of the complexities of the
political situation in Iran.  For my part, I support the right of the
people of Iran to self-determination but without the twittered
meddling of imperialist sympathizers (i.e., both consciously and
inadvertently) and the attempts of the Anglo-American mass media to
influence the Iranian political situation in a manner that is
favorable to the interests of U.S. imperialism.  As others here have
noted, the course of events has the scent of an "Orange Revolution,"
nay more, an "Orange Revolution with Obamaist Characteristics."
