The Iranian government has a very heavy hand in that economy and economic freedoms don’t exist like they do in capitalust economies.

Many of us are socialists, and we don’t take issue with a state constraining the capitalist class’ economic freedom. If you live in a neoliberal hellscape like most of us, you ought to want it more constrained, too.

Im not arguing whether it us acceptable for the state to restrain private industry, but if you are claiming that Iran is liberal they cannot do this to the extent they currently are doing. My point is Iran is not a liberal nation

So you're a radical capitalist? Everything not 100% porky-owned is not capitalist to you? Perchance your village is about to get overrun by bears?
