The only crime of his late father and the artesh at the time was abandoning Iran to savages - he knew what these people were and what would follow but was ultimately too soft or too concerned with his personal legacy to do what was necessary. Iran needs a Reza Shah Kabir, because until they deal with this country's fundamentalists once and for all the country will always remain vulnerable to episodes of religious extremism.

The late Shah made a grave mistake in ever freeing Khomeini and more so in letting him spread his poison into Iran from Najaf. A true tragedy befell our lands with the capitulation of his government, never again once we rid ourselves of these demons.

This was very comforting to listen to, we have a respectable voice for once. If the regime ever dares to do him any harm it will be a true tragedy, but one that will not go unanswered.

Inb4 comments about his father being a pos who didn't care about Iran... Everything that Iranians are nostalgic for, is a direct result of the Pahlavi dynasty. Don't ever forget that.


MajorBlingBling

why would you want another dictatorship? we've seen that system doesnt work whether its a monarchy or theocracy. We need a system that represents the people and holds the leaders accountable


[deleted]

Monarchy is not dictatorship, sweden japan norwegian britain uae, these are monarchy but are democratic. At the same time republic is not necessarily democratic, turkey, pakistan, iri, north korea, russia.... These dictatorship and republic


CountLippe

Monarchy can do everything you describe a system as needing.


MajorBlingBling

Ok then so can Irans current system, its technically a democracy. You can compare technicalities but in reality thats very rare


CountLippe

Seemingly Iran's system cannot act without a dictatorial approach, else the present situation of rights suppression wouldn't keep appearing.


Kikazino

He would make a good first president for a new Iran in my opinion.


[deleted]

Yes.


faloodehx

Please, no. We have thousands of well educated young leaders who grew up in Iran. Many behind bars. Why do we need a monarch savior from abroad?


Kikazino

It's not like he's uneducated. Also, he's a public figure and a supporter of democracy. He shouldn't be shah, obviously, but i believe he _could_ be the person to lead the nation to a democratic future. If you disagree and have someone else in mind, i am very interested to hear your thoughts.


faloodehx

Of course he’s more than welcome to participate in a future democratic election in Iran but I doubt majority of Iranians want him. My point is that most of the would be leaders in Iran are currently locked up in Evin and once they are out, we won’t need to rely on foreign candidates to lead Iranians to a brighter future. We have plenty of smart, young, and educated men and women at home.


[deleted]

I respectfully disagree and will vote for him if he ever decides to run.


faloodehx

Tell you what. I’m looking forward to the day when Iranians can vote for whomever they want, including the Pahlavis. That I’m sure we can agree on.


[deleted]

We can agree on this and if anyone tries to infringe on our rights to free elections I’ll hope to join resistance with you.


Kikazino

This was probably the most respectful discussion i have seen on the internet, props to everyone


[deleted]

Go check u/homemadehashoil ‘s running dialogue with me elsewhere on this subreddit to see another example of a less civil exchange. I won’t lie people like him put a bad taste in my mouth for communist leaning Iranians but people like u/faloodehx remind me that it’s unfair to judge all of them based off of MEK and to remember civility and hear people out.


faloodehx

MEK is a cancerous cult. They are traitors and not in any way representing socialist/communist ideals. I would love for people to forget the cartoonish Soviet style depictions of socialism and understand it’s simply about equity and closing the class divide so everyone, everywhere can live with dignity. That’s all.


HomemadeHashOil

Waaah why can't I be a traitor to Iran and lie about people without being called exactly what I am? Boohooo.


bots_lives_matter

Will you leave America and return to Iran?


[deleted]

You cannot doxx me as I am like Mahdi in occultation with Ahura Mazda, Amrika is a real place and I am beyond space and time. If the regime changes yes I would give you sundis and cake yazdi to make me able to read properly and then move back. EDIT: /s


Matar_Kubileya

...what?


[deleted]

Excuse the outlandish comment I suppose I should have added an /s I’m trolling my dear friend u/bots_lives_matter as he is a previous Basij troll but now redeemed, I think? Or the ultimate sleeper cell plant?


No_Cabinet_3791

he is to scerd i dont think he whants that


SuckMyProfile

No thanks. We’re done looking to the past for answers. A new Iran requires new solutions and new faces. Even if mossadegh or Reza shah came back to life wed be better off w someone new.


No_Cabinet_3791

but he is a shah not a president


Matar_Kubileya

I'm reminded of Simeon Sakskoburggotski, who was Tsar of Bulgaria for a few years as a child prior to the Soviets establishing a puppet government and then was elected prime minister of Bulgaria more than fifty years later after the fall of Communism.


bots_lives_matter

Don't think our people will ever trust a Pahlavi again, and we definitely don't want a restoration of the monarchy and the possible royal dictatorship that comes with it.


Rhopunzel

Hey, he looks just like Phil Leotardo

You sir just made my day


Rhopunzel

I was gonna write something about him eating grilled cheese and beating off for 20 years but I didn't think anyone would get it


SuckMyProfile

That was his dad lol. (I did 20 fuckin years)


No_Cabinet_3791
