Civilization unable to solve its own problems doomed to decline: Iran

Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has emphasized that a civilization that fails to resolve the problems it has created is a “decadent civilization.”

Baqaei shared a message on X on Friday night quoting passages from Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire.

He cited the author as writing: “A civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization; A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a sick civilization; A civilization that plays fast and loose with its principles is a dying civilization; … increasingly, it takes refuge in a hypocrisy which is all the more odious because it is less and less likely to deceive.”
