What Prof. Behzad suggest in his talk is reasonable and acceptable. No social movement can be analyzed while ignoring the "classes" in the society. In fact, clearly we can see the presence of the working class and lower classes of the society, the upper classes (trying to use this opportunity) to regain the control over the economy of the country, now monopolized by the a few gangs inside Iran.

@freddiebutch why is it that Mr debashi all of suden is asking about the working class and green movment's relation to the working class any body that has looked at vidios knows that these are mostly the educated and north tehran population that is guiding the green movment, the other guy says is " not class orianted" and he again is disappointed in his answear. he tries to link the green movment to the left it is obvious in most of his vidios actualy i am enjoying it because is thetrical

There is a miss translation. At the end the subtities say "hard working middle class of Iran", when Dabashi says "Zahmatkeshan", which means, roughly, "hardworkers" and usually applies to peasents or workers.

Just want say that I am following the week in green from Sweden, and I think it´s a great show! Go mr Dabashi! And thank you for all your hard work.

هیچ وقت فراموش نمی‌کنیم که چگونه با طرفند منتظری رو از دربار رهبری بیرون کرد تا دوستاش خامنه‌ای رو به سندلی‌ قدرت بنشوند. و چگونه مال مملکت رو به یغما برد.

[PayameVatan]

رفسنجانی‌ هیچ وقت عضوی از جنبش سبز نبوده. او همواره به فکر اموال خود و خانواده‌اش بوده و صرفاً برای جان سالم به در بردن از این طوفان، گرایشی به سمت جنبش سبز نشان داد.

I believe that youtube does not allow uploads longer than 11 minutes anymore.

[freddiebutch]

This is a very interesting episode, as I think what Dr. Yaghmaian says about the economy being a battle between the IRGC, and Rafsanjani's mafia, shows a clear separation between Rafsanjani's network and the Green Movement.

During the elections, this separation was not very clear (Mousavi's ties to Rafsanjani) , and was obviously exploited heavily by Ahmadinejad

Thank you for yet another interesting program. It would be great if these programs could be longer than 11 minutes.
