It is sad that so many u.s. leftist are in such total despair of any

only verbal and has no practical implications) crusade against the
Iranian regime.
But I am only a counter-puncher. If MRZine was not libeling good people
like Ervand Abrahamian, I wouldn't pay attention to it. In fact, much of
what appears there is very good. It is just this apologetics for a
capitalist government that is so obnoxious.
U.S. leftists might, were they organized, exert some real pressure on
those regimes to change. They have no power over the Iranian regime.
Everything they say, in fact, strengthens that regime by allowing it to
point out to the dreadful threat from the u.s..
The problem is not lack of organization but a low ebb in political
struggle. I would prefer that is is like 1968 once again but I am afraid
we are still mired in something more like 1958.
It is the caterwauling of moralists disguised as leftis in the u.s. that
in fact gies _real_ support ot he worst tendencies in Iran. Lay off.
Attend to your proper business at home. You are merely howling to the
moon.
What is this Marxist isolationism?
