Since for these people left = only anti-usa. They are pro Russia, pro IR, pro any dictatorship, theocratic or not, that oppresses its people as long as its anti-usa. They do politics like football fans, no moral ideology behind it.
so why are leftists hating on marjane satrapi? since when did so many leftists believe an oppressive, racist, and homophobic regime such as the islamic republic is above criticism? itβs crazy to me
