First of all, I just want this war to end. I don’t support Russia, or Ukraine. (this should not be that hot of a take but here we are) The whole sUpPoRt rUsSiA stuff is stupid, considering that Russia is yet another capitalist country that, while it is anti-USA, is just trying to be a competing bourgeois imperialist country. Russia is not “anti-imperialist”, Russia is just lesser imperialist. This is not “ultra-left”, this is the correct Marxist path. “Ultra-left” would be saying that China is capitalist. People who say that “Xi Jinping supports Russia because he talked with Putin” are also dumb because Xi Jinping talked with Zelenśkyj too, and he definitely does NOT support Ukraine. Also, there a bunch of Wagner supporters here, and do I even have to go into detail about why supporting LITERAL mercenaries is stupid? The only correct solution is to end the war immediately. Russia is not the 2nd coming of the USSR and is more akin to WW2 Britain than WW2 USSR. Putin is not another Stalin, Putin is Russian Churchill. This right-deviationist line here needs to end and Lemmygrad has to return to a principled Marxist line. Also, Pušilin is transphobic and has also given awards to literal Nazis, so supporting Pušilin over Zelenśkyj is just stupid. They both suck, and peace is the only way out.
“forcibly veiling women” is a very reductive way to look at the very nuanced complicated issue of hijab but sure
edit: you can’t be ambivalent on a country, a country is either in the anti-imperialist camp or it isn’t, it either supports a multipolar world or it doesn’t. To write Iran off because it’s not Socialist is to deny the material impacts of it’s existence have on the creation of multipolarity and the downfall of the West
the hijab is ok if it is a CHOICE.
I literally agree w you, as a Muslim I think every woman should wear hijab but they shouldn’t do it out of fear of the law they should do it because Allah SWT tells them to : Iran is superimposing their own legal guidance over personal relationship to the Qu’ran.
that being said I still support them lol I’m not so petty to let little things like that cloud my judgement on whether or not Iran is a net positive on world politics
