Anarchists usually don’t need the kind of deprogramming of capitalist, monarchist, colonial, or imperial systems that socialist and Marxist theories typically focus on.
Yeah no I’m gonna step in and fully agree with you on the statement of “psychopaths shouldn’t be allowed to enact destruction on civilians.”
IDF, USA (and all its three letter agencies), whatever authoritarian fuckbags murdered Iranian protestors, etc.
It’s all bad. If these genocidal people who choose to reject their humanity have an axe to grind, they should be forced to do so amongst themselves.
Hiding behind bombs and armies is bullshit. Make the “leaders” go face to face, with little more than a rusty machete and keep the rest of the world’s people out of it.
This is the stance taken by people that don’t want to engage in anything intellectually or think about anything critically.
Or it’s entirely possible that you’re from the Western hemisphere and actually benefit from the shit the US pulls, so you don’t REALLY want the status quo to change, just for it to benefit you a tad bit more.
When all the information you have about Iran comes straight from western sources that have lied about Palestinians for years you should take all claims about Iran (and Hamas) with a pile of salt. Otherwise you’re a useful idiot both sidings issues that have to do with imperialism first and foremost.
I have multiple Iranian friends. No one in Iran other than religious fundamentalists liked Khamenei, or his government. But they also (justifiably) don’t trust the west. They feel trapped. Khamenei being removed is a problem not because he’s gone, but because he leaves a vacuum that might get filled with something worse.
Many people in Iran don’t like their government, many do, there’s a sample bias in that those who are more interested in western culture and more likely to learn English and talk to us are also more likely to be very secular (and sometimes, more propagandized by the west as well).
The main contradiction in the region right now is imperialism, after imperialism is weakened and the vassal states fall the people of Iran will be able to decide if they want a different government without US interference. As it stands now it’s impossible for them to change their government and not be a neoliberal puppet run by compradors. Believe me I also want every Iranian to have as much freedom as they desire.
I hear you, though I am more inclined to take a Gramscian view that cultural hegemony of capitalist/imperial core entities convert those anarchists to libertarians, or some form of compromised anarcho-syndicalism or libertarian socialism. So I wouldn’t call them anarchists.
But it’s not a True Scotsman thing for me, so I don’t fundamentally disagree with that perspective.
This is what lack of theory does a mfer. This is why Anarchists will never accomplish anything ever. They don’t have any concept of anything beyond vibes

Is that why every anarchist I know tells me I’m insane and justifying the “evil Iranian regime” after I said the US/Israel shouldn’t be bombing Iran?

Uttering “fuck Hamas” in 2026 is the definitive evidence that you need to read theory. You’re spreading Zionist propaganda.

“Fuck Apartheid South Africa and the ANC”
Your position is just support for the oppressor.

You’re literally getting proven completely wrong in real time. Maybe it’s time to grow out of the Anarkiddie phase

@[email protected], maybe anarchists of the imperial core really do could use some colonialist/imperialist deprogramming.

Agreed. And I think most of the anarchist-leaning folks I know would also agree.
Careful now, they don’t take kindly to anarchists who don’t obey the ghost of Stalin.
That’s a BOLD claim.
Their deprogramming is just reprogramming to ignore war friends painted in Red and Gold, instead of Red White and Blue.
Anarchists just work and don’t need to spend hours yelling at others to read theory. They just do things. This infuriates the MLs.
