My business is divesting from PayPal for these very reasons. I’m sick of my financial transactions being subject to their right wing political sensibilities.

It’s possible that Paypal is simply blocking anything with the word “Iran” in its description in order to ensure compliance with the economic sanctions regime against Iran . However, a cursory examination (which you’d hope the supervisor would have engaged in) would reveal that a pamphlet by a Canadian about “the history of Iran and the international Marxist movement throughout the 20th Century” that “addresses basic questions of socialist perspective for the working class in a country that has been a target of US imperialist aggression for almost four decades” has no nexus with these sanctions.
Cory, that’s at least six red flags right there for PayPal to block this pamphlet, just in case.
