One cannot compare the murderous government of Iran who oppresses, rapes, and tortures its own people and bans every social freedom. Thanks to the poor writing and teachings of Koran and the muslim religion that enables it.
However, that does not mean lack of equality and abuse of power does not exist in other places especially in the United States, as great as it is and we all love. The power of lobbying and abuse of power by the rich and the wealthy corporations who control the media and the government, and influence creation of laws that favors themselves, the top 1%. Just because Iran and many other countries are f***ed up by the muslim religion and the fundemental followers, as well as other form of facism, that does not mean American people should put up with the abuse of power by the wealthy and powerful.
That would not be democracy but rather the third world fascist thinking where the other parts of the world is f***ed up and therefore the people in America should not demonstrate and push for full democracy.
