Replying to
Campism: "A paradigmatic case relates to the early years of the 1979 Revolution, when two opposed left strategies in Iran confronted the real threat of U.S. imperialism. On one side, the pro-Soviet Tudeh Party called for a “United People’s Front” with “the steadfast fighters on the path of Ayatollah Khomeini,” branding women, leftist, and minority struggles as divisive “imperialist plots” that endangered national unity. On the other, the National Democratic Front (NDF) insisted that only deepening the revolution’s democratic content and defending the fundamental rights of the people could secure its anti-imperialist endurance. When the Islamic Republic, under the banner of anti-imperialism, crushed the NDF and other leftist and minority movements, the Tudeh Party not only remained silent but at times endorsed this repression—until the same machinery eventually turned against its own leadership."
