Recently, the BBC broadcast an interview with Mr. Farhad Farjad. In this interview, in which he apparently spoke in defense of the October Revolution and its achievements, Farhad, as a rule, denies the originality of Lenin’s ideals and ideas, which is one of the goals of this notorious media, as usual in his unscientific and baseless expression and logic. continued . Mr. Farjad, after mentioning his family background, which gave rise to leftist tendencies in his spirit as a teenager, quotes a phrase from Mao that had greatly influenced him in those days: that when You have become a member of the Communist Party, even if you do not agree with the dominant policy of the party, never leave the party, but advance your views by fighting within the party within the party organization. Hearing this from Mr. Farjad, you can ask him: Why do you not say what you have said in practice?
Following the barbaric assault of provincial thugs on the Tudeh Party of Iran in the early 1960s and the arrest of most of the party’s leaders, members and cadres, those who had not fallen into the bloody grip of the regime, with epic efforts and sacrifices sought to rebuild the Tudeh Party. They inflicted heavy and horrible blows on its body and came out. Mr. Farhad Farjad and some of his friends, in 1985, with a controversial split from the Tudeh Party of Iran, which was broadcast on Radio America and Israel, showed that he did not believe what he said in the interview. Otherwise, in those difficult and very difficult times that the party was going through, he would not have left the party and along with the reactionaries and agents of the regime, he would not have tried to deny the existential philosophy of the Tudeh Party of Iran and its human ideals.
He points to the truth of the achievements of the October Revolution. But it silences the fact that the October Revolution was the product of the ideas of Marxism-Leninism, which after the victory of the revolution and during the revolutionary struggles, Lenin and other communist thinkers developed and enriched the theory of scientific socialism. Concluding his remarks on the achievements of the October Revolution and the relentless struggles of the followers of the lofty ideals of October, in a turn of one hundred and eighty degrees, he says: The achievements of the struggles of the last hundred years are that the left believes Has lost to the revolution and has found a new concept. Farhad calls this left a reformist left, a non-ideological left without a belief in Marxism-Leninism. Is such a distorted thinking basically called left or not? Farhad himself knows that the answer is no, and at best it indicates confusion and confusion.
