🇮🇷 I support Iran. I want to make that clear. 🇮🇷

Iran's anti-Imperialist creds are unquestionable. The entire basis for the existence of the revolutionary Iranian Islamic Republic is anti-Imperialism. No country supports Palestine and the Palestinian people more than the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The moment the Iranian government no longer supports the fight against Western Imperialism, the justification for its existence vanishes with it, along with the support of the Iranian people it enjoys today.

National Sovereignty is the basis of Socialism. And though Iran is by no means a Socialist country, neither is it a Neoliberal Western Proxy, and Iranians enjoy one of the largest economic safety nets in the Middle East, as well as an economy who's natural resources are dominated by SOEs. Including their National Oil Company...

Iran's oil, of course, was initially Nationalized under Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh in March 1951... and of course two years later he was couped by the United States in a typically American Colonialist move, giving full political power to the Shah who used it to stifle dissent, especially and not coincidentally, Socialist and Communist dissent, responsible for a multitude of slaughters against the Iranian people, who were demanding a more active and independent government.

At least, that was until the Islamic Revolution, beginning in 1978 and culminating in the overthrow of the Shah, imposed on the Iranian people by the United States, in February 1979.

You cannot have Socialism without National Sovereignty. And one way the Iranian government can be thought of, is as a radical movement for National Sovereignty; an anti-Imperialist project to expel the colonizers and Western Capitalists who would see the wealth sucked out of their country by Wall Street.

Please, please please don't fall for more US sponsored color revolutions!

Support the revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran and its fight against Western Imperialism and US Hegemony! And join our fight to build a Multipolar world and Socialism!

The outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine did not come out of nowhere. Here are the key historical events that produced the crisis, and the declassified documents showing that the U.S. gov't knew it was playing with fire over the last 30 years.

🧵of NATO's broken promises👇

The Clinton administration made many behind-the-scenes promises to Boris Yeltsin, and their deceptions eventually came to a head at their Budapest meeting in 1994.

Declassified documents revealed this misdirection. 👇

Source:

Despite the promises to Russia that NATO would not expand, in 1999 Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic joined NATO.

During this period, NATO demonstrated its offensive rather than defensive character with multiple bombings of Yugoslavia. 👇

Document:

U.S. & NATO continue their regime change efforts. Two notable examples of this are NATO's involvement in Afghanistan which resulted in a 20 yr occupation with hundreds of thousands dead.

NATO's bombing of Libya (serving as the air force for the rebels) collapses the gov't.

After a decade of deception, Putin comes to power promising to overcome Russia's humiliations. He makes clear that NATO expansion to Ukraine is a red line

A doc by William Burns, current CIA Director, shows they knew they were playing with fire 👇

Source:

In 2014 the era of Ukrainian neutrality comes to an end with the overthrow of President Victor Yanukovych. This coup was supported and funded by the U.S. and succeeds when far-right paramilitaries storm the presidential palace. 👇

More info:

While western powers continue to stoke escalation and war, a diplomatic road out of the current crisis is still possible. Will the U.S. & NATO step back from the brink and negotiate with Russia?👇

Looking back on it today, the famous U.S. assurance to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev of "Not one inch eastward" rings hollow.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO has added 13 countries... and counting.

Latest Target of Big Tech Censorship: Black Power Media

In a clear act of suppression, YouTube banned Black Power Media, an independent Black-radical media project, simply for discussing the flaws in the electoral college on their show, citing “election misrepresentation.” Jared Ball, Professor of communication studies at Morgan State University and the author of The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power discusses the ban and the new form of silencing dissent under the monopoly of communication. 

Fun Fact:  It’s not Trump whose cracking down on left wing dissent in 2023.  It’s the Democrats!
