Finicums Wake posted:the article I had read was apparently s summary of the book Pasionate Uprisings by Pardis Mahdavi, a westerner sent from Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver to show the Iranians the ropes, phblished by Stanford University Press, a subsidiary of Hustler Magazine Just the way you phrased it sounded funny, chill out my man.

Interesting thread on how Iranian newspapers are talking about the protests:- https://twitter.com/ntabrizy/status/947519482594914304 Also rouhani giving the protests a kind of reserved blessing:- https://twitter.com/hadinili/status/947523176107474945 I’m not going to jump the gun and predict stuff based on these newspapers and rouhani statements, but the fact that there’s actual back and forth and dialogue and differences of opinion on how to tackle the issue rather than a full throated lockdown of the regime on any discussion on the topic is a sign of confidence of the establishment and a surprising flexibility. There’s something I’ve been suspecting about what’s going on here that makes me think that people are getting too hyped and that it’s likely that the regime will weather this, because I think what a lot of people assume that politics in Iran is the same as politics in other middle eastern countries, so when people go out marching in Iran they assume that it’s the end of the regime because that’s what would happen in other places, but unlike other Arab countries Politics and civil society of some sorts actually exists in Iran where it doesn’t in places like Egypt or Saudi. To Arab fascists, the existence of politics at all is an existential threat, so when they view politics actually occur in other countries they view it as a weakness of the regime & project that it’s the end because that’s what would’ve happened to them. But a regime that actually has institutions and based on sectors of society ( lovely as it may be) has more resilience to weather internal strife. So my current prediction for how things will go is that there’s going to be quite a few protests over the next few days but unless something crazy happens the regime will probably hand out a list of reforms and concessions and weather this. I could be wrong and talking out my rear end, but that’s my gut.

It's hard to believe that anything would change on the international stage if Iran was a liberal democracy. The Saudis would still want to kill everyone thats non-Sunni, the US would still want to invade or destabilize every country in the Middle East.
