NOT ALL DISSENT IS PROGRESSIVE (An essay with photographs from the U.S. Media)
When the U.S. capitalists fund these kind of protest, you can see through it. You don't get fooled into supporting these "dissident" "mass movements."
So, why do you support them when they fund these "mass movements" of "dissent"?
The pro-democracy movement in Iran IS progressive. Don't be reactionary by assuming that all enemies of the US (Ahmedijian, or whatever) are the good guys. Iran's ultra-conservative, theocratic system is not something a communist should support.
