Another 'anarchist' who has no idea what it means.
I'm certain their definitions of 'socialist', 'communist', 'libertarian', and 'leftist' are just as comical.

And "liberal".
Trump can't really invade Iran without admitting the demonstrations in the US have a point. Although I can see MAGAts coming up with far fetched explanations of why this is different.
Ah yes, anarchism. Arguing for replacing a partially democratic theocracy with a batshit insane fascist monarchy, for the purpose of letting the US privatize the oil fields. This is some Dali levels of insanity (but with none of the talent)
Is that what Russian bots call themselves now?
As an actural Anarchist what the hell is this person saying?
Quite frankly I think theres at least a non insignificant chance that the protest was started/funded/pushed partially/entirely by the zionists/US-imperialists or was at the absolute bare minimum cooped by said zionists/us-imperialists. Theres a chance this is 100% organic but seeing how common Zionist flags are at these "Iranian" protests I get the feeling its less than 100%.
Iranians have been pushing for this since 2009. Even if there were astroturfing, there was already so much real grass there that trying to argue against, or even poke holes in the notion of supporting a humanist, self-determinist movement within one of the most oppressed places on the earth is beyond poor taste.
Not everything happening in the world is centered around the US or Israel, put down the Chomsky books and recognize the agency of people elsewhere in the world. The "US imperialism" issue has a huge problem in the shape of US exceptionalism turned upside down, where the US is the worst thing that exists instead of the greatest, inconvenient facts be damned. It's just as backwards as US exceptionalism in its more widely recognized form.
Sure but right now their movement seems to be spontaneous and lacking real leadership, seems perfect to be hijacked by imperialists
