Ramin Ahmadi: "The Iranian people are left alone to face their repressive regime because the left feels uncomfortable about siding with Washington. Reading Postel's book is timely since war or not, unless there is a strong show of solidarity with Iranian people and against the regime in Tehran, the repression will go on. In the absence of a global progressive coalition for a regime change in Iran, the left continues to focus on what is most comfortable, opposing the Empire and once again betraying the Iranian people in their struggle against tyranny."
