Re: [Marxism] Iranian opposition leader: Vote should be annulled

[Mehmet Cagatay <mehmetcagatayaydin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Mr. MacLennan

Thank you for kind reply. Instead of understanding and gentleness, impetuous 
aggression is fashionable in these days.  

Far from being a theoretical reference to anti-parliamentarism of certain 
German communists, the reason behind my opinion is tactical: Before the recent 
elections in Iran the central question determined by the ruling elite was the 
choice between the naked despotism of Ahmedinejad and the gestural reformism of 
Mousavi. As the events unfold, the question has been put forward by the 
revolutionary movement on a genuine political channel, now, it is the question 
of destroying the regime which maintains its hegemony by granting trivial 
choices as real ones. In this sense, I think a plea for annulment of the latest 
elections on behalf of new one with the same choice would be a reactionary 
stance.
