by Azadeh Azad on Mon Apr 18, 2011 10:16 PM PDTWhile Mashayekhi speaks in a very realistic and mature way (plus he talks instead of shouting), Javadi talks (actually shouts) like a naïve teenager. He says very strange things such as: Under capitalism the elected government does what it wants without listening to people (partly true), but under socialism people can bring down the government if it doesn’t listen to them!!! Or socialism gives all the freedoms to people, but capitalism gives them a little bit of freedom!!! The rebuttal by Mashayekhi is very good.
As far as I know Javadi’s assertions don’t apply to the planet earth!
Cheers,
