I'm talking about U. Because Iran did not do any of those things

Israel and its slaves are the Neo-Nazis. ZOG is only anti-semitic when u talk about AmeriKKKa being like that (it isn't an occupied government). But ZOG is an accurate descriptor for pro-Israeli states in MENA

they did offer US normalization several times, and committed to it since the 80s!

So you're the opportunist here who ignored what I posted regarding imperialist capitalism and subordination to spontaneity in the links below?
>>2621444
>>2621448
First point, repression from a bourgeois state is expected, however, from an anti-imperialist standpoint, the economic sovereignty of a country must be defended, and any spontaneous movement controlled by the bourgeoisie must be destroyed and crushed. With the communist revolution, counter-revolutionaries will be suppressed and punished, regardless of whether they are workers. The communist movement is not an identity, and it will punish workers who do not organize as a class to advance the power of the proletarian class, because if they are liberal counter-revolutionaries, they are enemies serving capitalist imperialism.

Secondly, even in revolution there will be sacrifices from the workers themselves to advance their interests as a collective class; regressing to moralism is not a Marxist position, and subordination to be co-opted by the bourgeoisie is not tolerated, even if you are hated for wanting to maintain independence from the bourgeoisie.

Thirdly, financial and fiscal responsibility is not tolerated above all else. The financial control of a country must be defended, and if liberals want to put "apolitical" people and economists in charge to give independence to the national bank, then any action to crush them is acceptable, no matter how much force is needed against the middle class, young people, business owners, petty bourgeoisie, and lackeys of capitalist imperialism.

>>2624229
Too bad nothing of what you linked applies to this conversation. Also what you're vomiting out now is pure liberalism "economic sovereignty of a country" - lmao + Iranian oil is already under multinational control

>muh spontaneity
The Lenin text in OP is against spontaneity and so am I. We are under no delusion that cross-class protests can lead to proletarian revolution. But just like Lenin stated, our sympathizes lie with the masses of workers as they confront with boundless brutality of the bourgeoisie at every moment.

unorganized proles > your wholesome bourgeoisie

>>2624320
You continue to ignore the obligation of a national bank that is not independent and that state capitalism is superior to private capitalism. Let's take quotes from Marx and Engels to help you better understand what I'm saying:

<Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.


<5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.


<Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, Manifesto of the Communist Party (1848), Chapter II. Proletarians and Communists


https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm

<Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat. The main measures, emerging as the necessary result of existing relations, are the following:


<(vi) Centralization of money and credit in the hands of the state through a national bank with state capital, and the suppression of all private banks and bankers.


<Frederick Engels, 1847, The Principles of Communism


https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm

<10. All private banks will be replaced by a state bank whose bonds will have the character of legal tender.


<This measure will make it possible to regulate credit in the interests of the whole people and will thus undermine the dominance of the large financiers. By gradually replacing gold and silver by paper money, it will cheapen the indispensable instrument of bourgeois trade, the universal means of exchange, and will allow the gold and silver to have an outward effect. Ultimately, this measure is necessary to link the interests of the conservative bourgeoisie to the revolution.


<Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels March, 1848, Demands of the Communist Party in Germany


https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/03/24.htm

This already shows that state control of the bank, which would be state capitalism, is superior to private capitalism and small-scale petty-bourgeois production. A country that develops independently is more predisposed to use state capitalism. The desire to reverse this by liberals and reactionaries must be opposed because it goes against the interests of the proletariat to assume power. Furthermore, the greater dependence of countries subjugated to imperialist capitalism will be used to prevent communists from assuming power in a country, and this unipolarity will also sanction countries that undergo national liberation in an attempt to overthrow them. A chaotic multipolar world is one where communist revolutions can occur with the collapse of the weaker puppets of the greater power, which in this case would be countries subjugated to the IMF and subjected to the United States and European countries.

In the history of the current world, which already has capitalism worldwide, the greatest obstacle will be financial capitalism, which has nothing progressive about it for the communist cause, which needs economic sovereignty or the possibility of it in order to socialize the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat.

>We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.

>The proletariat will use its political supremacy to rest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total of productive forces as rapidly as possible.


Silly Lenin, he didn't understand that by "dictatorship of the proletariat" Marx obviously meant a neoliberal theocracy, it's in the fucking name "dotp"

>>2625195
The programs that Marx and Engels wrote were intended for use as propaganda in a bourgeois election, and I do not deny the need to implement the dictatorship of the proletariat. The only thing that is outdated in these texts is the experience of the Paris Commune, which needs to be updated for these texts on the overthrow of the bourgeois state. However, both Marx and Engels do not deny what is written. Lenin himself does not accept supporting a revolt by liberals and reactionaries serving capitalists and finance capital. Remember that feudalism has already ended in the world, so if there is no organization by communists to socialize the economy, to nationalize the economy, organizing the masses independently of the bourgeoisie for the supremacy of the proletarian class, then there is co-optation of a spontaneous movement for the interests of the bourgeoisie, wanting to submit to finance capitalism, wanting to give independence to the national bank and therefore strengthening the dollar and financial dependence.

>the only thing missing from this text that totally reflects Marx position on dotp (antithesis of Iran) is the event that reshaped Marx view of the state
understandable

I'm making circles around you, you're debating what tasks Marx assigned to the dotp while ignoring the fundamental fact that Iran is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, you try to side step this fact with your usual petty bourgeois centralization spiel while Iran has one of the biggest privatized economies in the world which it publicly seeks to expand. So even granting you all the generosity in the world, your opportunism is still retarded.

You're behind on 10 points, and I won't allow you any leaps. It's over bro. Death to the Islamist bourgeoisie, long live the Iranian proletariat. Either read Marx and become a communist find another hobby.

>>2620808
>iran is not a proletarian state

this i agree with

<so i support any obvious US color revolution in iran


this you should be criticised for

you are letting your idealistic understanding of events (the simplistic dichotomy of 'good protesters vs bad government') circumvent any understanding of broader geopolitics. what will instability in iran mean for the global proletariat? what will it mean for israel's genocide of palestinians and operations in the greater middle east? will it hinder the global bourgeois imperialist hegemon, the USA, and its allies, or will it greatly aid in their aims in the region?

these are the material questions you need to consider.

>>2625399
Geopolitics is bourgeois politics even when proletariat engages in it.

>>2625399
nice strawman
unfortunately >>2624320 >>2623869 >>2622036 >>2622016

I believe this is your final cope so you'll just turn back the tape. Really consider my advice for a moment. Your opportunism is pathetic. At least other radlibs don't bother to falsify Marx in order to justify their support for Iran, but you're putting the extra leg work here, all for nothing.

>>2622036
Worst product of imperialism. Also sham and a humbug as lenin said

>>2625379
You remain wrong. There is no demand to nationalize the country's companies among the protests, but because there are businessmen and no independence from the bourgeoisie, there is an interest in privatizing the country's banking sector and therefore it is serving imperialist capitalist financial capital. A country that develops capitalism within its own borders and is isolated by sanctions that lead it to create an independent national industry serves the interests of communists more than a country subservient to financial capital integrated with the IMF. Therefore, if there is a conflict between the national bourgeoisie of Iran, or the "Islamic bourgeoisie" as you say, and financial capital, then communists will have to oppose the puppets of imperialist capitalism. Both Marx and Lenin do not accept any revolt as something to be supported, and there is no tolerance for subordination to spontaneity, which is what you are doing, trying to co-opt to serve financial capital using the discourse of "freedom," which I would translate as bourgeois freedom, which is anti-Marxist and therefore will be opposed.

>>2625456
>you're wrong
I accept your concession

Remember when Lenin had to call off the Russian revolution because Germany was happy about it? I member….

>>2625474
Tsarist Russia was allied with the British Empire; if we were to make a comparison, it would be like a country allied with the United States against other capitalist countries wanting to replace the American empire. In the First World War, the revolution occurred in Russia, not in Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or the Ottoman Empire, while the British Empire and France were weakened and the United States was occupied with its interests, not having the global capitalist power it has now. In a revolutionary situation, it is necessary to have an organized revolutionary socialist vanguard party to lead the masses to revolution, and this is lacking; therefore, subordination to spontaneity led by finance capital is intolerable.
>>2625472
What concession did I make to you? My position is always analyzed according to the following terms: Communism in its highest phase, communism in its lowest phase or socialism, dictatorship of the proletariat, national liberation, anti-imperialism, self-determination of nations, multipolarity, economic sovereignty, and state capitalism. With all this in mind, I don't see these protests fitting into any of the terms needed to analyze how the proletariat can acquire supremacy, which requires independence from the bourgeoisie.

>>2625563
Bro having brain aneurysm to justify supporting multinational owned neoliberal state that brutalises workers and collaborates with imperialists lol

Saying Iran is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is enough for any communist. But it's extra funny when the country in question doesn't even fit into your petty bourgeois lesser evilism standards

>support the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan
>fuel Israel during the intifada
>forcibly privatize the economy
>hand oil extraction to european monopolies
>kill millions of workers

>>2625579
My standard has nothing to do with the lesser evils of the petty bourgeoisie. Control of state banks is a positive point for Iran, support for the intifada and the right of Palestinians to resist are also positive points. Being isolated by the United States leads to the weakening of American unipolarity, which is also a positive point because a socialist country will have a better capacity to act in a multipolar world, in addition to communists also having greater opportunities to act and organize in multipolar chaos. Control of banks with a national currency is a very important demand learned from the mistakes of the Paris Commune for a communist revolution to succeed. State capitalism will be defended if liberals seek freedom by attacking state capitalism, which is a defense of private capitalism. An opposition must demonstrate that it is being led by communists to socialize the economy. If there are anti-corruption slogans or vague terms of freedom, they will have to be beaten down so as not to co-opt the masses. If a protest was created by financial capitalism, then it is the greater evil that will have to be destroyed so that the masses accept that opposing a bourgeois state must come with demands for economic sovereignty so as not to be co-opted by the bourgeoisie.

Again, this does not tolerate subordination to spontaneity; spontaneity must submit to scientific socialists, not the opposite, which you are doing.

Every bourgeois state will brutalize the proletariat, and this does not change my position. The dictatorship of the proletariat will also crush the prole that denies the supremacy of the proletariat, which must be organized as a class leading the other working classes in the dictatorship of the proletariat. If students deny the supremacy of the proletariat and are being organized by businessmen, then they will all have to be crushed in both the bourgeois state and the proletarian state.

Well, he can enjoy becoming Ukraine 2.0.

oh so the same as before? it's already terrible there, it quite literally cannot get any worse than a military dictatorship wrapped in religious clothing

>>2621179
No, America wanted the Shah in power, the Islamic revolution was not really supported by any outside party. That's why they later funded Saddam to fight Shiite Iran

>>2626721
It will immediately get occupied by Western military forces and become a puppet state. The protests are rather futile, if they succeed their situation still doesn't get better. If they could organize everyone into one communist party where everyone shares the ideology so they can cleanly take over the functionings of the government it would work, but we know that's not happening. If they ever unify under a banner it will be of something like the Shah or neoliberal democracy.
