OUR TASKS AND DEMANDS

 

- To struggle for the overthrow of the ruling capitalist regime in Iran and the destruction of the rule of capital through a general political strike and an armed insurrection as the means for establishing a revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat and workers’ democracy.

 

- To found a soviet republic as the means for establishing the rule of workers’ and poor peasants’ councils as the only regime capable of solving the problems of the revolution.

 

- To build the revolutionary vanguard party of the proletariat together with the workers’ vanguard in Iran through the formation and the expansion of workers’ socialist cells and clandestine action committees in the main economic, industrial and rural units.

 

- To create city, town and village councils for the implementation of the demand for workers’ and poor peasants’ control over production and distribution with the aim of realising the demand for a planned economy based on workers’ management.

 

- To form and expand workers’ independent organisations based on workers’ democracy.

 

- To defend the right to self-determination for all nationalities, including the right to secede and form an independent state (the duty of communists from oppressed nationalities is to form a workers’ and peasants’ republic and to fight against any form of nationalist deviation).

 

 - To abolish the death penalty and to eradicate any discrimination based on beliefs, sex, race or political affiliation.

 

 - To defend the formation of a democratic constituent assembly based on the organs of self-organising toilers (in the event of the absence of the widespread activity of workers’ and peasants’ councils).

 

- To build an international revolutionary vanguard party for the overthrow of capitalism and world imperialism and the formation of a socialist society and the continuation of the revolution until the founding of a communist society.

 

- To arm the workers and poor peasants until the founding of socialism and the withering away of any form of state.

 

- To defend the revolutionary struggles of the working class internationally.
