Where do you see reasonable freedom in known government forms?
With no first hand experience with autocratic administration, democracy as I witness it causes aggressive stagnation and easily obfuscated corruption until eventual full subversion.
The lethargy might make it look gentler, only as much as life in prison compared to death sentence.
Iām not arguing that any system guarantees freedom, or that corruption doesnāt exist in democraciesāit does.
What matters is lived reality: whether people can speak, organize, and resist power without being erased for it. Autocracy doesnāt remove corruption; it removes the ability to confront it.
Camus once framed the tension clearly: when forced to choose between abstract justice and living freedom, he chose the freedom that allows one to stand against injustice. Without that freedom, justice is just a word enforced by power.
Thatās the line Iranians are fighting overānot perfection, but the right to challenge authority without death as the answer.
You fight for the right to challenge authority, while the democracy framework effectively communicates that challenge makes no difference and any individual effort leaves people alienated and ostracized. Pick what you want, dead bodies and able minds, or able bodies with dead minds.
I mean, should action come towards anything before understanding how to satisfy a resolution?
