only pointing out these two examples because they use D&D's general ignorance and liberal fear of "privilege" to bully the thread. especially brilliant is the use of "not everything is about you, the white man" and "you don't speak arabic heres a wall of text" to justify imperialism under the banner of tolerance.

Muhammad Mossadegh was one of many of Muhammad Reza's Prime Ministers, but had obtained power under duress after his predecessor, the Shah's pick, had been assassinated. Mossadegh had called for elections to show support, but when the results started heading against him, he froze and postponed elections indefinitely with only 79 deputies elected, enough to form a bare quorum in the Majlis a tactic that has left the "he was democratically elected" cry iffy to this day: he was appointed by Muhammad Reza, remember, and was willing to suspend elections when they did not favor his outcome. Mossadegh, facing a loss of confidence, resigned, and Qavvam, his successor, tried to backpedal on Mossadegh's nationalization of the oil industry. Faced with massive popular resistance, the Shah reluctantly invited Mossadegh back into power, whereupon he demanded a year and a half of emergency dictatorial power. It was in that context that the "democratic" Mossadegh regime, which had been appointed by a Shah and was led by a party not elected by free and fair elections, was overthrown in Operation Ajax and power restored (yes, restored), to the Shah. Mossadegh's last actions included an indefinite suspension of the Majlis. Why people characterize this government as "democratic" is highly questionable: it only is under the most polemical of purposes.

az jan jananam owns, she should post here

i'm not sure why you are calling her "comprador bourgeoisie" given that she is criticizing the MB and salafi counterrevolutionaries lol

considering she is criticizing them for disrupting the "free and democratic" Libyan elections imposed by NATO and says they have nothing to do with imperialism and browbeats anti-imperialists with identity politics robbed of class analysis she would fit right in with the comprador bourgeoisie that Fanon and Malcolm X loved to tear into.

youre making things up or not posting the relevant things

how people can simultaneously fetishize the process of "fair elections" as determined by the USA and criticize the US election system as fraudulent is amazing to me.

pointing out that being able to speak arabic is important for differentiating between groups with similar-sounding arabic names isn't "identity politics"

learn the principle of democratic centralism. debate within the party, unity outside of it. anti-imperialism is the first principle of being a revolutionary today, anyone who is pro-imperialism should be unequivocally attacked and anyone who sees the imperialist invasions of Libya and Syria for what they are should be defended. identity politics is the opposite, privileging identity (as a muslim, as an arab speaker, as a minority) over principle and attacking comrades for their identity rather than correctness.

precisely with her knowledge of arabic and the arab world, she attacks anti-imperialist comrades with good instincts but poor knowledge for debate, clouding the essential facts of the situation and minimizing the role of American imperialism under the banner of anti-racism (how ironic). It's clear where babyfinland's loyalties lie, but I would advise you to not fall for the same kind of trap, lest you are silenced over the issue of Assange by pro-imperialist women, conflicted and attacked over the issue of bourgeois gay rights, distracted from the good character of comrades by attacks of sexism (as the FBI has tried to smear the black panthers with for 40 years) etc. democratic centralism and materialism are the only defenses from the disciplined and ruthless forces of the state and bourgeoisie who will seek to divide us through identity politics.
