Comrades, I’m stuck working on some university bullshit and thus I am bored. So, let’s shoot the shit. I am an Iranian computer engineering graduate student (have a bsc degree in CompSci) and I have noticed that my country Iran is completely… opaque, so to speak, to even leftist of various denominations from the outside. So, let’s talk comrade to comrade. Ask me shit about the daily soulcrushing grind of life in Iran…
didnt yall get a new prime minister fairly recently? how’s that working out? i heard he claimed he would no longer enforce head coverings
im half persian and my dad lives in iran, i should be better informed about the place but beyond following some skaters on instagram im really out of touch
President*, but yes, his name is Pezeshkian and he got the young people’s vote by touting progressive horn (including mine, woe is me to have voted in a bourgeoisie election)
On the other hand he seems to be very lib and more of a population pacifier so I don’t really think he made shit any better :(
lol funny, i typed president first but miscorrected it to PM.
when you say a population pacifier do you mean he more just says he will make progressive reforms to stave off riots with no actual intent to change things?
we all have to participate in these fake ass bourgeois politics at some point or another so dont beat yourself up over it
Pretty much yes, he hasn’t done much to provide economical relief or to ease the internal contradictions, he’s just yet another lib who lib’s
damn. would you consider him a step up from previous administration at least?
Well I’m sure if you put the bar in malbolge, satan can hop over it too… Raisi was a disaster
