    Joke’s on you, they’re actually agitating for the corpse of Mosaddegh to be reanimated and installed as the leader of a new Iranian Republic.

      The “Iranian Pro-Democracy Movement” (ie, the English-speaking ones who Libs actually listen to) is funny because if you bring up Mossadegh as opposed to some failson “prince” as an actual historical figure to rally behind, they go onto some tirade about him being a crypto-commie dictator who deserved to be overthrown by Ajax “the Iranian people”. Westoids love that shit because it absolves them of the fact that “the good guys” essentially strangled a US-friendly liberal democracy in its cradle and set Iran on the path to become what it is now all because of Britbong oil interests.
