We will bury the murderous Khamenei and the entire theocratic, plundering, misogynistic, freedom-murdering system of the Islamic Republic of Iran!
We will break down the prison doors! Prisons are no place for the masses of people. Instead, we will hold the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s political, security, military leaders, and economic plunderers in prison!
We will destroy the project that the fascist Trump, genocidal Netanyahu, and their Iranian minions have for the future of Iran!
Together with the people of the world, we will fight to emancipate humanity from all these enemies of humankind and nature!
THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN (IRI) MUST GO!
Now, the roar of anger from 47 years of suffering, poverty, and repression is reverberating throughout Iran. Countless people have stood in an unequal and furious battle, facing the oppressors, fearless of death, crying out for life and liberation. The children of this country have come to the fore demanding to survive and to live a meaningful life fit for human beings. They have pledged their lives as collateral for this liberation, and their blood is flowing in the streets. These sacrifices will never be forgotten, and these crimes will not go unanswered.
The revolutionary overthrow of the IRI is an urgent need of the majority of our society: a revolution that uproots the entire system of the IRI and builds a fundamentally different political, economic, and social system that will serve the immediate and long-term interests of our oppressed and exploited people; a revolution that will crush these criminals and their entire economic, bureaucratic, and military apparatus, a revolution that will sweep away poverty and oppression by relying on the wisdom, enthusiasm, power, and participation of all the people; a revolution that does not allow the work of millions of people, the resources of this land, and people’s daily lives to be monopolized and controlled by a mega-capitalist minority (Islamic or non-Islamic) and their imperialist masters, who keep things functioning in the same old way. No! We will not allow that!
The revolutionary overthrow of the IRI is urgently needed: A revolution that tears down prison doors and frees the captured fighters, and so that their strength, courage and consciousness can broaden and build the revolution and a fundamentally different and new socialist system. Prison is not the place for these loved ones. Prison is the place for Khamenei [the “Supreme Leader” of Iran] and the IRI's political, security, military, and economic plunderers to be held accountable according to the most advanced and progressive rules of procedure after the establishment of the future socialist system.
The revolutionary overthrow of the IRI is our immediate agenda: But we will not allow the evildoers of the “Pahlavi Project" [Reza Pahlavi is the son of former U.S.-backed Shah (absolute monarch). See Atash article: A “Project” Named Reza Pahlavi!: Manufacturing an Imperialist Alternative vs. Revolutionary Overthrow of the Islamic Republic!] with the support of the fascist Trump and the genocidal Netanyahu, to take the place of the fascist Islamists and dictate and impose a program on society that is essentially no different from the IRI and has nothing to do with the basic needs of our people—which have been the driving force behind this current uprising. We will not allow the security apparatus and repression of the IRI to be replaced by the security apparatus and repression of SAVAK [the brutal secret police under the Shah]—whether in cahoots with the Basij and the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; Basij are a paramilitary force under it] or under the leadership of the Mossad [Israel’s brutal secret police]—which would put chains on the youth of this country, and repeat a history of enslavement.
The revolutionary overthrow of the IRI is urgently needed: But we will not allow Trump, the fascist president of the United States, to determine our fate and to exploit our struggles against the IRI for his unbridled imperialism, leaving our society trapped in the web of imperialist relations that is at the root of our current misery.
The revolutionary overthrow of the IRI is urgently needed: But at this critical and dangerous moment, we will not allow various types of “reformists” and those who wistfully dream of “change,” whether in or out of government—who fear the anger and just struggle of the people and have for decades called for “peace” and promoted compromise with the inhumane IRI regime—to control, manage and misdirect.
The IRI is a fascist and outmoded theocratic regime, based on a capitalist foundation, and dependent on the [global] capitalist-imperialist system. Inevitably, and inherently, its survival has been based on plundering people's livelihoods, on the reactionary legal framework of Islamic law, on economic, political and cultural injustices against the people, on repression, imprisonment and execution, on suppression of freedom of thought, on suppression of science, on national oppression and misogyny, on destruction of the environment, and is now hated by the absolute majority of the Iranian people—in other words, zero “legitimacy”! Today, a minority of these people are standing up, risking their lives to put an end to this regime. This force must grow and put the IRI under a nationwide siege of the people. However, this movement is walking on a razor’s edge: it knows what it doesn't want, but “What We Want and How We Will Get It” is dangerously vague and ambiguous in people's minds.
Will another oppressive regime ride in to replace this one atop the wounded bodies of the people? Or, by spreading social understanding of what a real revolution is, will the overthrow of the IRI pave the way for a real revolution, replaced not by another oppressive and exploitative regime, but by a new socialist republic? Now, the overthrow of the IRI is on the immediate agenda—but the even more vitally important challenge is how this question gets answered.
