THEORETICAL - POLITICAL
PLATFORM
1. "The Union of People's Fedaian of Iran' is a communist organization,
which calls for the abolition of the capitalist system and the establishment
of socialism in Iran.
2. The capitalist system is in principle responsible for the
plight of people of the world. The main specifications of capitalism
is based on exploitation of man by man and the commodity production.
Capitalism helps to keep social inequalities ,male dominance ,wars
and non-stop profit making which in turn destroys the ecological system
and sources of life .Capitalism which rernoved the chains of the
precapitalist systems and once supported the equality of all human beings
;has brought about only limited civil liberties where as, for the majority
of the society equality is subdued by the predominant economic inequalities.
Socialism paves the way to freedom social, economic and political equalities
for human being.
3. The objective factors of socialism are present within capitalism
itself Capitalism socializes production and expands it to the whole of
the society and on the other hand allocates the product to a minority.
The contradiction between social production and private ownership of means
of production is the essential contradiction within capitalism. Socialism
puts an end to this private ownership and socializes production and distribution
of the product.
4.The background and conditions for the establishment of socialism are provided by the historical development of capitalism. But in contrast to other systems, the establishment of socialism needs the consciousness, organization preparedness and will of the working
movements. Intentional solidarity of the working class provides for such a fundament social transformation.
5 .Socialism is neither a general idea nor an order given by the historical fatalism. It is the plan for social transformation to be chosen freely by the society. In Iran today, the first necessary step in transition to socialism is to overthrow the Islamic regime and establish a democratic society based on the free will and conscious choice of the people. The success of such a transition depends on the extent of the involvement of workers in social movements and on their influence and ability to carry it out at the society level. In the current situation in Iran, the left movement, as the existing force of the socialist horizon has the duty to organize the people's struggle to free the society and to accomplish the democratic transformations and to organize the transition to socialism. To perform such a duty, the left movement must first of all unify its forces and gather all its energy and scattered resources, so that it can play a decisive role in the current political struggles.
The Union of People's Fedaian of Iran as a part of the left movement gives the first priority to the unification task.
6. The Islamic republic is the main obstacle in the way to democratic transformation in Iran. This regime, following other despotic traditions and dictatorial regimes in our country, is against any progressive movement or transformation in Our society. Considering violation of political, social, and human rights, abolishing the right to choose, oppressing and terrorizing the society, and legalizing all sorts of interference’s in people's private life, this regime is ways ahead of its predecessors.
