[Marxism] Was the Iranian Election Stolen? Does It matter?

"So f---ing what" means exactly where, when, and how does a struggle develop 
without the bourgeoisie trying to canalize, subvert, change, direct it 
toward their own purposes?  Doesn't change what the origin of the struggle 
is-- in the contradictions in the accumulation of capital, as a matter of 
fact, it's a clear indication of the fact that the problem is exactly in the 
accumulation of capital, or in an analagous process as was the case in 
Poland, fSU, fEast Germany.

The struggle does not emerge untainted, uncolored, unmarked by illusions in 
the flexibility, adaptability, "loving nature," of its own mother.

So what then, what do we do?  Endorse a government that supports the beating 
of women for improper attire?  That murders Marxists?  Breaks workers' 
strikes?

What's bizarre is that some of those who criticize Marxists for being 
"sectarian," "ultra-left," in defending but NOT endorsing, supporting Hamas, 
Hezbollah, now adopt the ultimate in sectarian positions, endorsing 
government, governments, that have raised themselves to power in part by 
crushing workers, against initial attempts at resistance by those who are no 
doubt privileged, but run smack into the mechanisms of confinement required 
by that government to maintain suppression of the working class.
