MaohamdReza shah said: I left Iran because I didn't want history to remember me as a king who killed his people to maintain his throne.

You are right. This is either an an uneducated swine of a person, a troll, or worse a foreign bad actor.

You know who benefits from another authoritarian like Shah?

Iranians actual enemies. Not any specific country but governments that look again to exploit Iran and Iranians. Like the British did. Like the French. Like the Russians.

Hell just like Israel. And how they have America under their fingers.

Notice how neither of these people care to actual argue the substance of my comments.

That’s the problem.

They’re not arguing against what I’m saying: decentralized governance through either a constitutional parliamentary system or something very similar to the US. Something with checks and balances but most important— the ability for the people to have direct say in the rule of law of the country.

I feel it could work if we tried and gave it an earnest effort.

I think that’s far better than putting in another authoritarian.
