Iran

The Ordosocialist Internationale was sorry to learn that Iran has rejected our offer for embassies. Glancing over our respective WFE's we assume the point of contention is over our support for the standing Iranian regime and the Palestinian resistance against Israel. This in spite of our shared support for Ukraine against Russia. Thus, the Internationale wishes to make the following points clear:

1) Our empathies do lie with the dreams of many Iranian civilians to shake off their oppressive theocracy. Indeed, we compare the latent potential of the Iranian people to conduct a sorely-needed Revolution, against the mullahs, in contrast with the Israeli people. The latter are characterized by a rising Haredi demographic, which is currently battling to exempt its youth from conscription, to the point of toppling the wartime government. This, while they are the most fervent advocates of Israeli war aims, and pushing settler violence in the West Bank (defended by the very IDF they refuse to serve in, all the meanwhile).

2) We observe the conflict with Israel as the certain cornerstone of the mullahs' reigning ideology. The potential downfall of Israel would leave (in our opinion, perhaps flawed) a gapping hole in their continued effort to thwart democracy, under the primary argument of Iranian society becoming captive to Zionist lobbying.

This is to be contrasted with Israel's ever expanding interests, not only in Palestine, but Syria & Lebanon as well; all this as Israel's intelligence & martial capacities are heavily reliant on a one-sided relationship with the West.

3) Reviewing these points, an Israeli demise seems to only open up the progress of the Iranian people versus the Israeli people seemingly becoming incapable of progress, regardless of the conflict's outcome. When comparing the Iranian people's capacity to endure through the heaviest of sanctions regimes (and still buttress their oppresive state as a formidable regional power, no less), the aforementioned dependency of an increasingly free-riding Israeli people on Western tithes, and the aspirations towards freedom of an Iranian people stifled by the mullahs (most heavily) through argument against influence by this sick man of the Levant...

...the Internationale believes that it is coherent to both support the aspirations of Iranians to liberty, while also temporally supporting their oppressive state in its dual with that of Israel.

We are of course open to rebuttal on your part, and accept that our assessment may be unacceptable to this region. We are not, however, adherent to the common contemporary neo-Marxist garbage which blindly designates imperialists vs. anti-imperialists, and ignore their own fallacies and hypocrisies in zealously picking sides.

Thank you if you have read through this entire post!

The Internationale appreciates your openness in turn. Though we do still stand by our anticipated schedule of an Israeli collapse preceding an Iranian revolution, we will certainly stand in solidarity with any such popular struggle should it arise before the conclusion of the conflict between the two states.

If, as the mullahs predict, a new and open Iranian society would fall prey to foreign lobbying and diplomatic pressure, we would stand with those elements of the Iranian people seeking to prise that yoke off from them next. We would not advocate for the preservation of this bloody imamate, as the neo-Marxists do, out of a foolish anti-imperial derangement.

To a greater future!
