While the sanctions may have triggered the current round of protests, what about the previous rounds? [1]
Why are you ignoring those?
Many Iranians hate their regime because it’s an oppressive theocratic one.
Just as an example of why Iranians would hate their regime, the mismanagement and corruption in the area of water management has led to severe water shortages in Tehran and other areas [2].
I believe I have a somewhat unique perspective on this as a communist.
Capitalist governments, even theocratic ones, are trash for the working class. That would explain those previous protests. Corruption is a totally normal thing in western countries as well. It just doesn't get broadcast in a politicized way, if at all, in our media. (not a coincidence)
Our local capitalist media jut makes it seem louder in certain places when there is an interest, such as the downfall of the Iranian state.
Is this sound enough logic for you to approve sending American kids to die over there?
Right, nothing can, but it is harder to corrupt when the state isn't a handful of people with shields of bureaucracy where access to power can only be attained by the richest individuals in that society.
Communism isn't "let the state do more things" as many think. Communism is "make all of the people into the state". Cut out the middle-man, so to say. Direct democracy, peoples councils, peoples courts, all with a worldview that keeps it that way; socialism/communism. It's intention, as a movement is to not to leave political power to an external organization. To organize your workplace, neighborhood, town and city, into its own political power.
