I’m trying to decide whether this is a smear or a lie. Name a leftist who spends even a tenth as much time compiling such a black book as you do writing and editing apologetics for the Iranian state. Name one who doesn’t agitate against a war on Iran.
What leftists should be agitating against is the ongoing US campaign for regime change in Iran, not a US war on Iran (which is not going to happen any time soon). Stop using opposition to a phantom war as an alibi and start opposing what Washington is already doing: economic sanctions, covert action, and “democracy assistance.”
In other words, you can’t offer up a single name. Posts that repeat
this smear will go straight to the trash.
