A great contribution from a subscriber from our discussion channel regarding western communists feeling dragged into ‘supporting’ NGO regime change attempts that hide behind things like “women’s rights” or ‘anti extradition bills’, anti-authority, ETC, or whatever else is being used as the excuse

The context is of communists being accused of ‘not caring’ by leftists.

"No one actually said ‘it doesn’t matter’ tho did they? Normal people see a tragic death, whatever the cause, & would like to think ‘if that were me or a loved one, I’d like to see it properly investigated & justice done’

The double tragedy when something like this happens in a country which is a target of imperial violence is that, inevitably, justice can never be done

‘The way to hell is paved with good intentions’ which is to say - your intentions are moot if your ‘discourse’ is just contributing to the invention of a reality in which open, kinetic, warfare can be deployed against the target country

Communists understand that due to the vicious battle the Islamic Republic of Iran has waged to maintain its sovereignty there are certain backwards aspects of Iranian civil society, it isn’t our place to dictate the direction or tempo, but, we know as Iran develops, on a sovereign & independent basis, this backwardness will, in time, be overcome

None of which will ever be possible if the dogs of Empire are given the opportunity to do more than bark"
