They would go, and because they had connections, the government0:19belonged to them, they would get subsidized government-rate foreign currency. They'd register a bogus company; registering a bogus company is nothing,0:26really. And then they would get subsidized currency, for example, dollars at twenty thousand tomans, saying,0:33'We want to import essential goods into the country, for instance. Therefore, our work is useful.'0:40Then they'd just issue golden-signature orders: 'Gentlemen, give it, give this many dollars to so-and-so, government-rate0:47dollars.' Think about it: a million dollars, five hundred thousand dollars, was just chump change0:52for them.0:55They'd take this, import nothing, take the dollars, and sell them on the open market. And what's interesting is that this very1:03corruption network within the government and the regime would even find customers for them: 'Sir, so-and-so wants this much,1:10this group wants that much.' That is, among themselves, take the government's money and then double it,1:16for example, without doing anything, without even importing a single good.1:21Or many would go and import goods and then not return that subsidized currency to the government. Quite a1:27mess—meaning an entire parasitic class grew in the Islamic Republic across both factions, Reformist1:34and Principlist. These are now the people who oppose the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. Especially that1:42parasitic class on the Reformist side: they have media outlets, their title is journalist, they launch websites, they provide analysis,1:51some write books, and then everyone thinks, 'Well, we should look at their justifications1:57and refute their justifications and arguments.' Sure, we must refute the arguments,2:04though they have no arguments at all in defense of this regime. But the point is that even if we refute their arguments,2:09they won't be convinced, because all of this is an excuse. A corruption network2:15on the other side—these parasites are feeding off public funds. Why would they want this feast to end?2:21This is why, as dysfunctional, oppressive, and murderous as the Islamic Republic is,2:29a group of people still defends it. And that group, well, they've built up a resume2:34beforehand, cultivated an image so that you and I might hesitate, saying, 'Oh! This guy is a2:40university professor, this guy wrote such-and-such book, and he's defending the Islamic Republic, saying revolution is bad,2:46regime change is bad.'Captionمنبع / Source: https://youtu.be/gEsYwJ8abSU?t=1913Clipped from Nejat Bahrami نجات بهرامیSourceNejat Bahrami نجات بهرامی2026economic critiqueCorruption
