Re: [Marxism] Iranians praise rare Western concert

[dave.walters@xxxxxxxxxxx]

That was one of Walter's longest, most round-about way of telling people not to 
criticize Iran, et al. 
My goodness. The intro on Iran's newest TV station is the most intersting, 
considering it's *ILLEGAL* 
to receive  *other* TV networks and posession of a satelite dish is a crime!

The fact that all Western music was banned for over 20 years, that was "OK" or 
do you even think
that is indicative of something rotten? (I assume that this includes music like 
Cuban, Dominican and not just The Ramones).

But the first sentence was the best ""Everybody knows" that Iran is run by a 
bunch of ignorant 
theocratic gangsters, hooligans and thugs who brook no opposition to their 
course of reviling and 
hatred for everything Western...." so that Walter can distance himself, 
implicitly stating that 
"Iran is NOT run by ingroant theorcratic gangsters, hooligans and thugs...." 
Really Walter? It's 
NOT a theocratic state? Pardon? This is the lesson you draw from being more 
"open minded"? 
Walter, this is the reason I provokingly stated that your politics are more 
akin to that of the 
DAILY WORLD back in the day as unabashed appologists for everything Russia did 
than anything 
like "Marxism". Louis stated it more openly, however, not wanting to riase the 
banned term we all
know is implied. It's the same method you employ, and it has nothing to do with 
Marxism.
