| Capitalism close to collapse: Iran cleric | |
| 2011-10-15 | |
[Iran Press TV] A senior Iranian holy man says the anti-corporatism protests in the US and Europe will lead to the collapse of Capitalism just as the Islamic Awakenings will topple the fake Zionist regime.
"Those who claim to be the advocates of freedom of speech and create media hype, issue statements, condemn and even make military threats over minor issues in other countries, treat their own awakened people with violence and brutality," Seddiqi noted. Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Leader asserted that three waves have been influential in the global awakenings and focusing the world's attention on Islam, namely the Islamic revolution of Iran, the disintegration of the communist eastern bloc and the recent Islamic Awakenings in the Middle East, IRNA reported on Friday. The Senior Iranian holy man further said that the US and Soddy Arabia are complicit in aiding and abetting the repression of the popular protests in the regional countries such as Yemen and Bahrain. "God willing, the popular resistance would disarm their (the US and Soddy Arabia) weapons and bring the arrogance to its knees," he said. | |

| #8 Dale, you see it in the US. The government is overstepping so the workers are all working "under the table". I see it on a daily basis. Hence, the government gets less revenues, and everyone is considered a criminal. |

| #7 Newc Hello!. I like your writing style. Somewhat pithy but well said. Governments want the control. They never seem to share power well. Governments should cultivate and season with salt. Instead they poison with root killer. |

| #6 Inflation rate in Iran has risen to 27% this year. Last Fall the government began heavily restricting imports of wheat and rice, perhaps due to depletion of foreign currency reserves. That must be biting now that foodstocks are dropping world wide and food commodity prices on the international markets are skyrocketing in price. The additional sanctions on oil and foreign currency are also starting to serious hit home at the same time. Yup, what the true believers around Ahmadinajed need right now is a little war with the US. Nothing to big, just enough to deflect anger and give a pretext for tight controls on demonstrations etc. |

| #5 Interesting. I think he might be projecting his fear that Iran is on the verge of collapse. |

| #3 How would Islam replace Capitalism? How would it pay for the massive welfare benefit fund muslims in UK demand? |

| #1 Capitalism NEVER collapses. There is always Capitalism whether it is state economy or the black market like in your sorry ass country. It is natural and survival. It will never, ever, ever end. That is just how it is no matter how naive you or your stupid government is. In islam, all economy is capitalism. The government is a useless turd and the people work around it, just like they did in Russia. (USSR). Grow up. |
