    The Iran thing was doomed to failure not because of guns but because of ideas.

    In a war between the strict version of an ideology and the less strict one the strict version is always going to win. The revolution in Iran was for diet Islam against real Islam.

    Look at the Russian, American, and French revolutions. It is trivial to name open atheists/diests/secularists in all three. Can you name a single one for Iran without hours of searching to find maybe one tik tok video?

    Ideas matter.
