Thoughts from a lifelong Iranian-American Democrat from a Kurdish Muslim family about #Iran, Biden's policy, imperialism, workers, etc. A case for supporting #IranRevolution and opposing Biden's policy from liberal/progressive lens- a thread below #MAHSAAct #HR589 #MahsaAmini 1) Biden's policy hasn't worked. 80% enrichment. The Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are oligarchs controlling about 70% of Iran's economy. They can't compete in a free market. The average person can't create an economy independent of IR gov, sanctions relief won't help them much.
