Name One Way in Which Velayat-e-Faghih is Not a Monarchy

Let’s face it.  Velayat Faghih is a continuation of the monarchy under a different name.  VF has all the powers that the Shah had (minus the personal hygiene, of course). He is the commander in chief.  He has a lifetime rule.  He appoints all the heads of the military.  He has the ultimate veto power over all legislation, he can declare war, he can stop a war by agreeing to peace treaties, he can pardon prisoners, anyone who speaks ill of him lands in jail, (or his head is handed to him) and people kiss his hand.  What is the difference between him and the Shah? 

And please don’t tell me there is a “president” in Iran.  The guy can’t even issue a decree getting women into a stadium.  The king comes out, slaps him in the face and cancels his petty order.  Let’s not forget that Shah also had a “prime minister”.    

So, if you disagree with this assessment, please list all the ways in which VF is different than a monarchy.  As always, please no “safsateh” and no speeches.  Just facts.  

 

***I want to make one thing clear and that is the atrocities committed by the IRI against the Iranian people far surpasses ANY crime committed by any Iranian monarchy in modern Iranian history.  


The point of my post is that this whole hoopla about a "Republic" in Iran is a farce.  The ultimate result of the 1979 devolution was the replacement of one king with another.

Bite me.  We don't need an American loser who can't make it in his homeland- and who trolls Iranian sites claiming to be something that he is not--telling us what to say and what to think.  Now go grab yourself a beer.  Isn't is baseball season or something?  There must be a game on ESPN.  Watch it.  Then hire a coach to teach you a few words of Farsi and then we will talk.   

PS-I'm not a Jedi.  I don't do min tricks.  I state facts, something that a doofus likes you cannot appreciate.

There are many, many

There are many, many differences between the two forms of top level governance. They are obvious to anyone willing to study it, in an objective manner.

What you're attempting to do is cast the two as the same, in highly generalized terms of effect. It won't work, Anon. This is just another one of your personally disingenuous and completely transparent mind tricks.

We all know you're anti-Iran, you know you're anti-Iran- why all the need for subterfuge? You don't like Iran, fine: don't vote and stay away. Mind your affairs where you think things are so much better. Otherwise all you're doing is making public your own personal shortcomings.
