Part of me is thinking that real change can occur, and Burrito and Poop might soon be out of power. But part of me also fears that the basij will start killing hundreds and it might dissipate. Even if that happens, that would mean the regime has lost all legitimacy and that violence will still flare up randomly and continuously later on, people won't just forget the deaths and move on. But at the same time, those in power are in a very difficult position, because if they make serious compromises they might lose all power, but if they don't the country might fall apart.
Basically though, it's a matter of power for those individuals who were behind the coup. It's something they either have to let go of or be forced to let go. But what worries me is the reality that unlike the shah, who could flee to the US, these mofos have almost nowhere to go and could feel threatened in a corner, fearing arrest or more if it's proven that they ordered killings like the Foruhar killings which haven't been solved yet, not to mention Zahra Kazemi or the torture of Batebi or many, many others.
I think the key is to get the police, army and sepah fully on the peoples' side. Once that happens, they can prevent the basij and ansar from their savage killings, and even start to perhaps arrest some of those fat ansar plainclothes guys who ride on motorbikes with knives and guns. After that it'll just be a step at a time until Poop and Burrito are forced to resign. If Raf works on the religious part of it in Qom, where already it seems most akhounds are against the fraud that occurred, then the small group behind the coup, like khamenei's son, crocodile yazdi and jannati, can be isolated and forced to stand down, even arrested.
But people need to appeal to their relatives who might have sepah or army kids among them, they need to spread the word and get them to step-by-step join the people. Otherwise I don't think the basij or especially the ansar, since even many basijis are not so ideological, will stop the shootings and they won't mind killing many more. If the army joins the people it'll stop them from continuing this.
