Sure that might be ideal but we need to work within our reality of a deeply religious population. What you want must come from within the people of Iran themselves. Outside forces cannot change this.
Granted I am no expert on Iran and I know that religious affiliation and actual practice differ but I was under the impression that >90% of Iranians were Muslim. Even in the US, which I consider to be deeply religious despite its religious citizens not closely practicing their proclaimed religion, only about 70% of people claim to be Christian. Yeah, sure, they might not go to church everyday but they still remain a highly influential political force due to their identification with that religion. Would this not be the same in Iran? If not more so?
Thanks for taking the time to explain that, I was not aware.
A lot of Christians will also do this, plenty don't attend church, read the bible, don't really think about god existing or not and still label themselves as such. They are functionally agnostics/non religious imo
Iran is an explicit theocracy where people are defined as muslims by default and where irreligion/atheism is not a valid category in identification by the government.
Sure, but almost all of Mexico identifies as Catholic but church going is mostly reserved for special occasions like baptisms and the big religious holidays. You'll see the crucifixes, the Jesus pictures and whatnot but it's not like they're on that annoying protestant bullshit.
I wish we had better options between a quasi-religious authoritarian oligarchy, and a pro-zionist fascist failson nepo baby
The fascist zionist would be authoritarian too, FWIW.
Is it even possible to have a non-authoritarian fascist?
amazing
Evola's weird take on European pseudo steppe nomad fascists?
From the only good political compass
There were left options but they were systematically oppressed in favor of the religious right during and after the revolution by imperialists.
authoritarian meaning what?
I don't think microfiche was advocating regime change.
I don't think so either but given the circumstances I didn't see many other options for an areligious authority. Another comrade has made me think it is more possible though
