The Shift Toward Secular Fascism
Kevin Sullivan:
Iran is no longer
a theocracy. To blame this on "The Mullahs," or worse, Iran's
"Right-Wing" is to fundamentally misunderstand what is taking place
there. This is a secular power grab done under the guise of Islam and
revolution. The perpetrators are the enemies of western rapprochement,
and the proponents of economic isolation. The Revolutionary Guards benefit
from Iran's economic isolation, much like the mafia benefited from
prohibition and other criminalized behavior. As any stereotypical movie
gangster might say, "why ruin a good thing?"
I believe we are witnessing the disposal of Islamic pretense, and in
fact a more honest and apparent Iranian police state. How that affects
their place in the region and the world is still to be determined.
