  I let this to the Marxists to decide ... 

  What interests me is that independently of the question if the election has 
been rigged (it has been, already by the selection of the candidates, even if 
by a process much more transparent than in the POTUS elections) or the 
count falsified, is that the politization of the Iranian society is near the 
boiling 
point, and that masses are in movement, and this at both sides of the 
contention. Some do stress more the national independence and social, i.e. 
class questions -- the Ahmadinedjad camp -- others more the question of 
democratic liberties -- the Moussavi camp. 

   The Iranians will have to debate it out, how to proceed to defend Iran the 
best way against US and other imperialist interventions. My take is that the 
best way is to involve the working masses, proletarian, peasant and petty 
bourgeois self-employed laborors, and that a condition of a deep and 
unitarian mass mobilisation is the freedom to take part in the working out of 
the course and taking decisions, i.e. extensive democratic freedoms for 
working people.
