Socialism is the solution
There are no nations such as Loris, Gillanis... these are fabricated by those who try to divide people in order to hide their class interests

Recent events in Khuzestan, people's uprising, and consequent killing and detention of our Arab brothers, has been discussed Longley by different Iranian political factions. I also want to express my opinion and especially my anxieties about what has happened and what is going on right now in our country.

It is clear that I like most of the other people from political opposition feel that the responsibility of what went on is in the first instance on the shoulder of reactionary Islamic regime. In my opinion every thing must be done to cut short the life of this barbaric regime, no doubt about that, nevertheless, and as one of our famous political proverb says "Every mean is permitted to reach the goal except those means which are eliminating the goal itself".

Indeed, some of the solutions which are proposed these days are based on tribal division of Iranian society, there are those who are fighting for Kurdish people, others for Azerbaijan, Arabs, even Loris, Barouches, Gilianis... I was even surprised that in some Arabic Nationalist tracts they write Ahvaze with the "Ha of Hoti", while as far as I remember Ahvaz has always been written with a "Ha of hovaze".

Indeed, in our country there are prejudices against the minorities, there are even disparities in the in rights of different nations living inside Iranian borders, there is probably a real national problem in Kurdistan. These are facts and there is a good old English proverb saying that " facts are hardheaded, you have to consider them anyway".

Indeed, there problems in our country, a minor one is national problem, the national problem and the solution to it is a part of the Iranian socio-political problems, the solution is class based, the minority nationalist parties as well as Farse chauvinist are the two sides of the same coin, they both have something in common: defending capital, their fight against each other can only be explained in terms of share that the minority nations' capitalists are asking for in the framework of global capital market, to them, "nothing even helping Americans Fascist administration in their new aggressive politics of re-diving the world", matters.

There is no divergence between their goals and Islamic republic; the capitalist can only make work the capital in the framework of International capital market, they can debate even fight each other about their shares. This is the capitalist solution and can not go beyond the framework of global capitalism.

The other solution can be based on the fact that Iranian society alike any other capitalist society is first divided in to major social classes: those who work and those who use other peoples work to produce "values added to the capital", this also true in the world and an entity as a whole. The Kurd workers have a lot more in common with their counterpart Farse workers than what they have in common with their nationalist leaders, there is no such a nation such as Loris, Gillanis... these are fabricated by those who try to divide people in order to hide their class interests.

The Iranians who are for the progress, those who are looking for a new society where there are going to be new human beings with new traditions, a new way of living, need to unite themselves around the idea that distinguishing people according to their race, national belonging is a reactionary one, the political solution is to gather around workers interest which goes far beyond national borders, we must show and prove in practice that solution to Iranian problem is a revolution where all the Iranian are united under the leadership of the working class.

The answer to our problem is Socialism, the route is long and wending our wheels are small, we need a lot of effort, but achieving the goal is possible and it worth it, we have nothing to lose but to gain a whole world.
