You mean before CIA intervention?

Would have been fun

Iran was very similar before the revolution.

So sad

Painful reality. Let’s see what happens on the 28th.

Both ruin...

You mean before it was submitted to US sanctions, much like Cuba or any other country that opposes US domination. Luckily for the rest of the world, the collapse of the US$ is now inevitable and only a matter of time😎

What happened? How do people slide that much in such a short time?

To be fair, the scenes of extremely poor people and the way they were living are not shown here. But for them today's circumstances are not better, I guess.

Socialism is like cancer. It creeps in and Government continues to grow and implement more programs, regulation, and control. The wealthy politicians get filthy rich through purchased exceptions to massive new regulation. Small businesses struggle, and the Big corporations (working with every increasingly wealthy politicians) gain more power and control. This is not some grand conspiracy - it's just a repeat of history. Politicians promise MORE and MORE to get the middle class to vote for them (to their own demise). When things start falling apart, they BLAME the other side creating class warfare (rich vs poor). Middle class gets decimated leading to civil unrest as hopelessness sets in. Historically people never wake up until it's too late and the Ruling class forms to suppress all opposition, often through voter fraud and corruption. It's the SAME playbook happening in the USA right now - It only takes a generation to lose a whole country. And takes a civil war sometimes lasting GENERATIONS to gain freedom back. Sadly once the political class gets control of education (1960s here in the USA) that typically is the start of the downward spiral as history is 'cleansed' of the real reasons for the problems.

Here is a good timeline to ponder. Compare to your own country. These patterns are well known yet generation after generation keep falling for it. Notice the references to income equality, government health care, Lawfare used against opposition leaders. This is about where the USA is now.
