Iran 4 Keith Bennett II

Iran -- What should our position be?

Panel discussion following short presentations on various aspects of Iran's domestic and international politics.

Part 4 - Keith Bennett: "It is our duty to support the thoroughly anti-imperialist government of Iran, despite the ideological differences we have with them, argues Keith Bennett, in the Second part of his presentation on Iran.

"This is a point understood by the likes of Chavez, the Chinese, and other progressive forces, and Cde Keith goes on to list the pro-poor and anti-imperialist policies and credentials of Ahmadi-Nejads administration."

Leadership in the oppressed countries: anti-imperialism can be led by non-communist, bourgeois led movements.

Stop the War Coalition and the CPB.
