To
Be Against War,
One
Should Not Feel Obligated to Be on the Side of Islamic Republic Despotic Regime
of Iran!
To all progressive and freedom loving people, to those people who
rightly so, are against possible war between US and Iran:
As progressive people, it is our duty to be against any Imperialist war.
It is our duty to expose the war crimes
being committed by Imperialist powers in the Middle East, right now. At the same time, it is our duty to expose
the despotic and reactionary governments in the region, also. It is our duty to show that Islamic Republic regime
of Iran, despite all its propagandas against US Imperialistic aggressions, for
the past 4O years, actually has served the interests of US in the region!
In the past seven decades, Iran has been ravaged by two regimes which
were put in power by Imperialist powers to serve their Imperialistic interests!
In 1953, the government of Mohammad Mossadegh -
an Iranian popular prime minister - was overthrown in a coup-d'état orchestrated by the United States' CIA and
the United Kingdom's MI6. The Central
Intelligence Agency brought back the young Shah who had fled to Italy and put
him back in power to rule Iran with iron-fist for more than 25 years of
oppression.
In late 1970's, workers and the toiling masses of Iran formed a
Democratic and anti-Imperialism movement with the goal of overthrowing the Imperialist
dependent regime of Shah and abolishing Imperialists’ domination in Iran. But when the revolutionary struggle intensified,
and saving Shah's regime was no longer feasible for his Imperialist masters, in
order to counter the masses’ movement, the Imperialist forces (US, UK, France
and West Germany) at Guadeloupe Summit decided to replace the Shah's regime
with an Islamic regime, which was in-line with the policy of installing a “Green-Belt”
around the ex-Soviet Union. Under the
new Islamic government, the flow of oil
to west continued and Shah’s US-developed-army remained intact and Islamic
regime massacred so many communists and freedom loving forces in Iran and then throughout the
Middle East.
In most analyses these days, there is an effort to wrap "Islamic
Fundamentalism" in "anti Imperialist" clothing. According to those analyses, Khomeini's clique
and the Islamic regime in Iran were seemingly a manifestation and/or a symbol
of anti-Imperialism! But in fact, while
verbally opposing American and other Imperialist forces, the very same Islamic
regime under Khomeini's leadership has indeed viciously crushed the genuine
Democratic and anti Imperialism movement of the Iranian people; a movement that
had started with "Down with the Shah", "Down with American Imperialism",
and “After Shah, it will be America’s Turn!” slogans. This regime has repressed
and executed masses of people, communists and freedom fighters for their true
and just Democratic and anti-Imperialism demands. Therefore, those who consider this regime to
be so called “anti-Imperialist” must explain why it has put forth this blood
drenching suppression of its own people and has been crushing their legitimate anti
Imperialism movement and revolution?
Today, people of Iran are determined to overthrow the Islamic Republic regime
and free themselves from this tyranny, to have Bread, Housing and Freedom, to
build a democratic free society and to free themselves from Imperialists’ domination.
People of Iran expect the progressive
people of the world to support them in their struggle and stand by their side,
not to be on the side of their enemies!
When, in order to oppose the unjust policies of the US government, somehow
one ends up legitimizing the Islamic repressive government of Iran, without a
doubt, one is handing the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom to their enemies. Being against capitalist system, being
against Imperialism, being against war, does not mean one
has to be on the side of Islamic Republic regime of Iran.
So, we shout loudly and clearly:
No to War! No to Islamic Republic
Regime of Iran!
Support the Just Struggle of Iranian People for Justice and Freedom!
Be on the Right Side of History, Stand with Iranian People against
Islamic Republic Regime of Iran!
Down with Capitalist Dependent Islamic Republic Regime of Iran!
Islamic Fundamentalism is a Tool in Imperialist Hands!
The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!
No to Imperialist War Machine! Down
with Islamic Republic Regime of Iran!
Victory to the People!
