Chapter 197: Iran Is Not a Monolithic Political Party
from The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind · host Ali Khamseh
When it comes to discussing politics in and about Iran, there's usually one or two stereotypes that people fall into. These two often reflect the political intent of the person spreading them, but nonetheless the effect is similar: it reduces a range of ideas, people and political identities into a single force. Iranians in either interpretation of these monolithic parties are zombified husks who will follow a singular leader, whether it's a tyrannical overlord or a disgraced prince.Email me at: [email protected]
