But believe at the moment tention is high and you are not gonna like the reality of almost 90% of protestors are saying.Quote:The pressure and ideology over years created an anger that is overwhelmingly right wing. What you call left and right has different meaning at the moment during this tention
So let it cool down then see the peoples opinion. At the moment are openly and majority are chanting for monarchy, anti communism, overwhelmingly right wing and slogans in people eye here reflect the reality of what they are facing. Might be unreal for you

He sure could be better on the details because what the hell does right wing even mean in Iran? Isn't the regime already super conservative?
Not really. It's like most Russian vassal states the "left" or "communists" are pretty much controlled opposition keeping the religious zealots in power. Mostly because how the thing is set-up and controlled (secret police trained by KGB) echoes the old communist systems as do subsidies for the workers and public services (i.e. the instruments of control to reward the masses or punish). So they don't really mind the religious part of the state running everything and help out to organize the state. The same alliance Putin has with the communists in Russia.
But by now these countries are so broke that all they can offer the people is $7 a month and Russia is bogged down in Ukraine and Wagner no longer exists so Putin can only offer asylum to ousted leaders and can't save their ass. In fact they can't even save their oil tankers from Cap'n Trump the Oil Pirate.
