More on the Basijis:
Khomeini and his supporters learned from the Stalinist techniques of establishing informers in every neighborhood. This, coupled with fierce punishments for suspected traitors and their families, created a fear among the population that made rebellion and uuprising difficult. A basiji could be an eighty year old grandmother with her entire family as spies networked throuought the city. They are entitled to free education and welfare. In a nutshell, they are spies to the tune of 15% of the population who have infilterated every democratic and opposition movement so far and have captured and killed their leaders. That is why it's so hard to have a revolution in Iran.
