I wish I had the patience to go and post this in reply to every tankie I've seen today defending the "honour" of this piece of shit in the name of Iranians who they've convinced themselves they can speak for (yet somehow never speak up for their best interests, only in defence of their "great leaders" interests, curious.. ๐ค๐).
Yeah, western tankies especially can be very weird. Meanwhile, the actual communist party of Iran has nothing good to say about him.

The only regret of the people of Iran and the families of the survivors of the horrific crimes committed by the mercenaries of reaction and tyranny, over the death of Ebrahim Raisi, is that the opportunity for his historic trial in the not-too-distant future has been lost.

Right, and they call anyone who disagrees with them, even actual communists, "McCarthyists" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Seriously though, anyone who sees any reason whatsoever for communists to support the Iranian government mustn't have a single fucking clue what communism is about.. They're a fucking joke (if only they didn't go around giving leftists such a bad name)..
That's a fantastic, and not at all surprising piece of information though, thanks for sharing!
Damn, based.
It should be noted that the Tudeh party has it's HQ in Europe, hence them being all Bertie Big Bollocks about this news. They are banned in Iran.
The communists also helped overthrow the CIA puppet regime in the first place, which seems to have helped them not one jot.
Alright, that one was pretty clever lmao
I've found a lot of Onion headlines pretty mid and uninspired recently, but this one is aces. No notes.
They've been going pretty hard lately, it's great

Real bad taste
He was an evil bastard who was second in command of a regime full of human rights abuse that meddles in and disrupts the entire region on a scale that previously required associating with a British monarch. To the point that there is a lot of footage of the people of Iran cheering in the streets.
Fuck 'em.
Thank you for that bespoke political/historical burn, that just made my day

Imagine being this deep into propaganda
Alright, I'll bite.
How are people misinterpreting the Khamenei regime's human rights issues (particularly against women)? And by "people" I, of course, mean orgs like Amnesty International.
Here is some "propaganda" for you to refute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Iran
Of course it's .ml
Theocratic fascist go splat
