I've read something on twitter about how apparently recently Iran finally used like one of their modern rockets and dealt major damage to Israel; apparently they were using their old, 20-30 year old missiles to overwhelm the iron dome and then after getting rid of Israel's iron dome, they'll use their newest tech.

Actually pretty well thought out.

Belevie it or not north Korea, they manufacture something like 60 percent of the world's missiles and artillery, american, russian and Iranian production is not as good because they are libs. The best outcome for this war is one in wich Iran transitions to military socialism, if they do that then it's over. Some faction in the militia have been pushing for this, but the technocrats refuse.

Military socialism?

"You WILL take this healthcare, and you WILL get free education!"

The news then explains how Iran is now oppressing people via free healthcare and education

You use militias to force the economy to focus on military production, ration some products, and temporarily suspend market mechanisms to ensure everyone has food, and basic necessities.

As the crisis ends, you switch to other economic activities, while still keeping aggregate demand high by investing in productive equipment, without the need for market mechanisms like loan financing. Untill you end up with infrastructure spending.

Basically the Soviet model during WW2.

Ploughshares -> Swords (T-30/40s) -> Ploughshares + Swords

BasicLli the problem with Iran's economy is that instability is preventing their capitalists to invest and their people from consuming more, so someone else has to do the investing, in this case the militias persuade the private firms to do their part for a little while.
