The last time Iran’s dictatorship was overthrown, it was replaced with an even worse dictatorship.

The problem with people is when we think about the innovation of liberalism, we think about it like the French peasants rose up against the king and made a democracy, but we forget about the whole, "short guy declares himself emperor and tries to take over the world, gets exiled, escapes exile, and tries to take the world over again" thing that happened in the middle.
"It can’t get worse."

That said, I hope the regime falls and Iran becomes the freest most democratic country that region of the world has ever seen. But also like, use your brain lol.

Ignore the naysayers. Let the Iranian people free themselves. It's their destiny. The US and Israel have been helping hands, but at the end of the day its Iranians vs. theocracy and the people will win.

Well, there’s a trade off between efficiency and equality. A larger economy doesn’t mean that the wealth is evenly distributed. If you actually go to Western Europe, you’ll find the exact same standard of living, only people aren’t constantly shooting each other.

The United States looks great on the surface when you look at total wealth, until you start asking, what percentage of the population has what percentage of the wealth, then you start to realize. For example, what percentage of the wealth is owned by the top 1%, the top 10%, and the bottom 50%. If you ask those three questions, the economy looks a lot different.

I’d love if the people won but are they able to structure some kind of republic? Based on what? IRGC is a power house, has the guns, and could crack down if runaway ethic feuds kick off. Azerbaijan would love a slice of southern Iran and its mostly Azerbaijanis there anyway. Worked for Kosovo.

Exactly. The Middle East = intersectional car crash pileup among strains of Islam, clergy, oil interests, Bedouins, minorities, military, foreign interests, weird alliances, proxies …

Fun fact: the entire Middle East, North Africa, Persia, and Spain used to be one country.
