>>2328352Yes and? If tomorrow the US military started bombing "imperialist" Burundi, Bhutan and Paraguay are you going to to argue we should remain silent as well, or cheer on the collapse of these states in favor of some vague "regime change", in complete absence of a socialist or militant trade unionist mass movement?
I'm not saying the Iranian working class shouldn't push for concessions. But vague calls for "regime change" is lib nonsense. Only when the bourgeois state refuses to accept any more concessions (see German Revolution) is there reason pursue violent insurrection by a socialist mass movement. I wouldn't argue any different in case of Ukraine/Russia or other places.
There's also the question of war aims. What is the goal of the zionist regime? Is it integration of Iran as part of Israel, with all Iranians becoming equal Israeli citizens? No. Same goes for Gaza btw.
It's a brutal genocidal settler-colonial regime. And this changes the context and what are to be the desired outcomes in this war.
If Israel was a non-racist, multi-ethnic, mildly "socialist" or even merely "northern European" style socdem state, not hell bent on exterminating or expelling an entire people, I'd be a lot more comfortable with openly condemning the Iranian side.
But that's not the case. The victory of Israel in this case will not mean a more unified, prosperous middle east. It will mean the (now) unopposed genocide of over a million people in Gaza, and the destruction the Iranian state, which might descend into a Syria level civil war.
