Incidentally, this is a really fun read on how the whole unbiased sources and neutral perspective narrative was invented as a way to make western media seem more legitimate https://november8ph.ca/psychological-warfare-in-the-strategy-of-imperialism-v-l-artemov/

which in no way invalidates the well documented fact that wikipedia is a political tool and is heavily edited by western intelligence agencies

That’s literally the definition Lenin gave, but I’m sure an intellectual titan such as yourself knows better https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3228-lenin-s-three-theoretical-arguments-about-the-dictatorship-of-the-proletariat

I haven’t seen Iran change their position on that.

Are you asking why fascists are doing fascist things?

Socialism is a transitional state between capitalism and communism, where the working class holds power in society but existing social relations have not been abolished. This is precisely what you have in China and DPRK. Both are genuinely socialist.

There’s gonna be a whole black market for smuggling open computing platforms from China 🤣

Can’t wait for EU to ban general purpose computing. At some point ,everybody is just going to get a locked down Windows tablet where only EU approved software runs.

Every crisis is an opportunity. :)

And out of millions of Iranians, someone will figure out how to counter it. Also, this is where materialist analysis becomes important. Cleverness goes only so far in practice. What matters are the resources at hand and the logistics. And Iran has a firm advantage fighting on their home turf.

Right, but there is just as much of variety of ideas in Iran as well, and they’ve already proven themselves to be more capable and effective to date. To me, this just reeks of desperation where the US brass is acknowledging that they’re completely out of ideas and now just throwing stuff at the board in hope something sticks.
