To all my friends, especially my Iranian friends.

Human rights and freedom form the foundation of human life. This should be acknowledged regardless of nationality or religion, neither of which defines humanity itself. We are fundamentally the same. We are Homo sapiens. Societies have only one sustainable way to function over time, and that is through relative peace. I am deliberately using scientific language because it allows us to step outside inherited ideology and cultural conditioning.

At this moment, many of us believe we share a common objective, which is the removal of an Islamofascist autocracy. Iran, as a civilization and a nation, was never intrinsically tied to political Islam in this form. This system was imposed through historical processes, Wanting to dismantle it in order to continue as a nation is legitimate and more than necessary.

However, there is another issue that needs to be addressed.

The democratic and secular countries often held up as models are deeply flawed. Iran would not be an exception to this reality. Even socialist states, which are currently idealized by many with limited critical engagement, remain structurally compromised. In many cases, political education has been replaced by ideological repetition. As a result, people lose the capacity to critically assess power, institutions, and outcomes. The theatrical conflict between left and right functions largely as a distraction. Political parties, regardless of orientation, operate according to their own interests, and none of them are immune to corruption or opportunism.

This is why the idea of a post-regime utopia is dangerous. The belief that freedom will automatically translate into harmony, justice, and prosperity has never been supported by historical evidence. No nation has escaped structural conflict simply by changing its ruling system.

I want to be clear. I fully acknowledge human rights, and I want an Iran that is free. But geopolitical influence does not disappear in a power vacuum. A weakened state will inevitably be managed, influenced, or pressured by external powers, particularly Western ones. This is not a conspiracy. It is how international politics functions. The long-term fantasy of a perfect society has never existed anywhere. At best, humans have created temporary simulations of it, symbolic experiments like festivals or controlled communities. In reality, no society has managed to sustain a utopia, because such a construct contradicts human behavior and power dynamics themselves.
