Iran stands up against imperialist powers – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 57

Reproduced from ‪@garlandn‬ with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT& DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR ... This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the war in Iran and what it means not only for Iran but for the wider region and the entire world. What have we learned about the difference in the ways the imperialist and anti-imperialist countries approach war? We discussed the fact that Iran has for decades held off using its real nuclear option: domination of the Hormuz strait. The fact that is it using it now shows that the war that it knew would eventually be forced upon it has finally arrived. And for Iran it is existential, and the outcomes it is fighting for are non-negotiable. We compared Iran’s objectives fighting Nato and the Zionist proxies with Russia’s in its fight against Nato and the Banderite proxies, and noted that they are almost the same: removal of military threats against the country; removal of fascist proxies on the doorstep; acceptance of the country’s sovereign right to determine its own affairs in peace; reparations. Meanwhile, despite a bit of ‘hesitation’ (partly owing to genuine disputes about how to proceed and partly for public consumption), the rest of the imperialist camp is ultimately going all-in on the USA's war against Iran. Because they know that their economic system is on the verge of total meltdown, and war is their only possible salvation. And they also know that they will ultimately stand or fall as one. Those of us who live in the imperialist countries need to be doing everything possible to organise a real anti-imperialist mass movement here at home. Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Russia, the Sahel states, Venezuela, Cuba are all on the front lines of this war, sacrificing their lives in the fight against our common class enemies. We must join them in that fight and work together to deliver the knock-out blow! Subscribe! Donate!
