When Iran’s Interior Ministry announced the successful presidential election, and the victory of the reformist candidate, Hassan Rohani, the Bourgeoisie held a carnival of triumph and joy. Instead of green, this time the color purple symbolized the reform movement. This victorious applause and fanfare caused Tehran’s stock exchange to prosper, and the value of the Rial, the Iranian national currency, increased against foreign currencies. The ideologues and journalists of the bourgeoisie focused on the victory of the reformist candidate. Politicians from around the world expressed their hopes for the reform process in Iran and even sent congratulatory letters. Despite being unstable and temporary, the reformist victory is a victory for the whole bourgeoisie. Understanding and evaluating the context of this bourgeois triumph and its consequences is important for the working class and the class struggle.

As we've already announced, for its survival capital needs the accumulation of capital, without which capitalism is meaningless. The capital according to the circumstances of time and history can take the form of different political superstructures such as Nazi ideology in Nazi Germany, social democracy in Western Europe, Stalinism in the Eastern Bloc, Maoism in China, Islam in Iran and so on. But what they all have in common is that the capital does not know God, democracy, Nazism, but only the accumulation of capital, because as a living organism, if fresh blood does not come into its life cycle it dies.

The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.
