Women, life, freedom! (pt. 1)

This week Carla and Joy discuss the recent death of Jina (Mahsa) Amini in the custody of the Iranian morality police, which has invigorated a new protest movement in the country. In order to better understand the social and political environment under which this is taking place, the duo explore the history of Iranian governance from the 1920s to present day, and examine the forces that helped facilitate the transition from a secular monarchy to the present day theocracy - all from a leftist perspective. Have thoughts/comments/reactions to this episode?
