    I think you misunderstood my comment or I’m misunderstanding yours.

    Iran’s economy has suffered from sanctions and embargoes. But I don’t think you are arguing against this point. Are you perhaps arguing against the role of socioeconomic and material conditions in culture?

    All I’m saying is that it will be easier for Iran to progress if it had a better economy. This statement is true and applies everywhere.

      naw, it just seemed tone deaf on an article about a region with zero human rights starting to show some, and then to say ‘but the real thing is the economy’… seems like a kick in the teeth to the point of the article.
