Re: [Marxism] Two important articles on Iran

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Louis: "Sigh. So predictable. I guess if you can support Mugabe, then why not 
Ahmadinejad?"

Here's what Louis apparently considers "supporting" Ahmadinejad:

"In bourgeois elections, the citizenry is offered a choice between
candidates that are acceptable to ruling class interests. In Iran's
elections, as in those of other countries, the candidates running for
president were all acceptable options to the regime.
...
"Ahmadinejad is certainly no representative of the working class. The
only true working-class orientation is a socialist orientation; moving
in the direction of eliminating private ownership of the means of
production by the capitalist class. But within the confines of
capitalist relations, Ahmadinejad's political line represents more
income and benefits for the poor."
