Spreading the Revolution

HORDES OF ANGRY IRANIANS have been and still are out in the streets, all across the Persian empire, protesting their government's failure to improve the country's dire economic circumstances. more power to the Iranian masses. May they prevail. We should be doing exactly the same thing here in the United States, and, with a little luck and gumption, soon will be, in huge numbers. President trump, never missing an opportunity for a photo op or for some tweet attention, is acting like some heroic champion of human dignity and rights, warning the Iranian government against committing civil rights abuses against the protesters. The Iranian government soon showed its disrespect for Donald Trump by shooting a few of the street protesters. Maybe the American prez should simply butt out. It isn't as if Trump is renowned worldwide for his strong record on civil rights. According to the American president, the protests were caused by Obama's nuclear bomb treaty with Iran, somehow or other. The vice president strongly asserted that he intends to never miss out on another Iranian protest, whatever that means. We all seem to agree on one thing; the protest is a good thing. Ninety none percent of the world's people have hardly any money and absolutely no political power of any kind. We the world's ninety nine percent should have a world wide protest, based on the previous American Occupy Wall Street movement, with a few changed and improvements. The ninety nine percent versus the one percent, keeping in mind the weird fact that there are many among the vast majority who support the wealthy elite, inexplicably. The people protesting in the streets of Iran probably consider themselves economic have nots, political have nots, or both. And, just like most of the rest of us, they are exactly that. So, why don't the rest of us join them? There are more than six billion of us, probably closer to seven billion, globally. Economic equality, political democracy, an end to poverty, war, and environmental destruction. Some intrepid soul needs to go stand in the middle of the park in lower Manhattan where it all started last time, and invite the rest of us to join in. Meanwhile, long live the revolution in Iran.
