Thought group: Mehdi Ghani, in Iranian Diary Magazine, October 1403, discussed the way to fight against tyranny. Ghani, who is one of the signatories of the statement of 110 people, and before the revolution, he was one of the fighters who touched SAVAK prisons for several years, and he understood well the methods of reform. The title of his article, first of all, as he himself says, brings to mind a mercenary who wants to seek revenge. But after great experiences, like Behzad Naboi, who considers himself against all revolutionary theories, he realized that it is possible to build a society in a gradual, step-by-step, phased way. With violence, no society has gone the way of reform, and nothing has gotten worse. On a large scale, maybe that is why, unlike the Soviet Union, China embarked on a major revision and moved from the revolutionary path to the reform path. By comparing these two countries, it is possible to understand well which ones have been successful so far. The Soviet Union was divided into 15 countries. But now China is powerful and not only called the factory of the world, but now the world of ideas has also been assigned to itself. Check out this article below.

Are you surprised by this title? You say to yourself, what kind of mercenary is this, who openly and openly supports the dictators! What autocrats themselves do not do, that is, they do not say that we are autocrats and we must stay. You might think that this article is a political satire and an upside-down shoe. But that’s not it either, the matter is very serious. Let me explain what I mean and you will understand what this pen means, then judge and guide me.
You must also know that the writer once participated in the overthrow of a dictator named Mr. Shah and has tasted the torture and imprisonment of tyranny since he was 21 years old, so ask Jadar, how did Akhar Umari become a supporter of tyranny?
To be honest, I have been reviewing the same past experience moment by moment for years and reflecting on the methods and actions of that time. My peers remember, we were so happy when the dictator left that we couldn’t fit into our skin. On January 26, 1957, when the Shah left Iran and the regime was still in power – you must have seen his photos and videos – people were dancing in the streets and distributing sweets. They took their bills out of their pockets and pierced the picture of the king. I, who had just been released, was looking at the hustle and bustle of the people and how excited they were! Considering the situation five years ago, when I was not arrested and the atmosphere was cold and silent and Savak had control over all the elements of the country, I could not believe that the authoritarian regime would be overthrown so soon. I was trying to learn from people to be happy and behave like them. 26 days later (Bahman 22) I witnessed people attacking government centers.
In the Armaments Center on Air Force Street, there was a large hall full of wooden boxes next to each other, in each of which one of the parts of the J3 rifle was placed in large numbers. It was clear that this was a weapons assembly workshop. People rushed to this hall like hungry people who have not had food for months, each of them carrying a wooden box in their hands, putting parts of weapons into it to be assembled later. Mardansali also kept shouting to take it all away. Imitating them, I took an empty box and started pouring each of these parts into the box. The box became so heavy that I could not hug it. I put it on my head and went into the street to empty it at a friend’s house. You can imagine, like itinerant sellers, a box of gun parts on the middle of Hefdeh Shahrivar street, for God’s sake. Let’s say that later we realized that one part is missing and the gun is not complete.
They had captured a beautiful colonel’s house on Bahar Street, it was rumored that it was a torture chamber. People crowded and everyone wanted to participate in this good thing. I asked what’s going on? It was said that several sacks full of the nails of the fighters were found there, and there is also a well full of a human skull. When I doubted and doubted in these news that such a volume of nail pulling is unlikely, in the interrogation to crush the prisoner’s resistance, he sometimes used to pull nails, but a small percentage of the detainees had seen this painful experience. Even if they had pulled the nails of all the prisoners, it would not have been one sack, let alone several sacks. In addition, it is not reasonable to store so many nails, but in that atmosphere, only strong opposition to the regime was acceptable. If I persisted, people would look at me suspiciously, as if I were an agent of the regime and a traitor to the people. This borehole could be very dangerous in that space. The atmosphere was such that anyone who heard news of the regime’s crimes and wanted to pass it on to the next person, usually added a little to the hot oil. The proverb of one crow forty crows found many examples in those days. It is popular, I don’t know if it is due to the works of closed societies or it has historical or cultural roots, etc. We become enemies with everyone, not only do we not see good and positive points in him, but in making bad things absolute There are no limits to his ugliness. We do the same for our friends and people. We do not criticize them. I must admit that the author himself is more or less unconsciously suffering from this If there is no internal or external reminder, the same procedure is followed.
At that time, the flames of anger and revenge against the agents of the previous regime were burning everywhere. In Mashhad, on the 10th of December, the dismembered bodies of the regime’s agents were hung and exhibited in the statue square. Few people thought about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Even if there was, it would not be possible to design it in that passionate atmosphere. Opponents of the authoritarian regime definitely believed that the demon Chu would go out and become an angel. While this statement was not logical and definite. If we ignore the experience of other nations, our history of several centuries showed that many times a despot was overthrown and another despot took his place. Anyone who meets a big demon can be a small demon himself. But when feeling takes the place of thought, being logical or not loses its value. What is important is which statement and thought matches my feeling.
The demon went out, but the day after he went out, the angels carrying the banner of fighting against the tyrant, the blade that they had raised against the tyrant, started pointing at each other. Those who had survived the tyrant’s bite were now perishing by their own hands. Internal conflicts and shareholdings began, a calamity that has not left this country and nation after several decades.
A tone or a manner
We thought that tyranny was institutionalized only in the body of one person and he is the only one who prevents us from living in paradise. With his destruction, no trace of tyranny will remain and Shohraz will turn into Golestan. But time has shown that tyranny has permeated the fabric of society and even flows in the veins of its opponents. We did not know that tyranny is not a person, it is a behavior. It is a way of thinking, it is a way of life. One can find the traces of tyranny in economy, judgment, culture, language, management style, education, driving, etc. in all human actions. In our economic culture, it is said that if the partner was good, God would take a partner for himself, what attitude does it show? Why do most economic partnerships in our society lead to failure and even enmity between partners? Why is our education system still teacher-centered? Why doesn’t our administrative system shine from the top to the bottom of the Council? Why did we remove many councils from the first constitution ten years after the victory of the revolution? Why were the city and village councils delayed for twenty years? And…. Why don’t our imitation authorities have a scientific conversation with each other? Why do our intellectuals each have an island that is not connected to the other? And dozens of other reasons. To these reasons, let’s add that respected compatriots who have been living far from their homeland and in free countries for many years also face this problem. Two years ago, we saw that Mr. Pahlavi, who wanted to lead the protests, gathered a team of eight people to act as a coalition and partnership, but this coalition did not last more than two months and its members were busy taking positions against each other.
Abdulrahman Kawakbi, one of the Syrian thinkers and freedom fighters, had learned lessons from the experience of the Ottoman government, which he passed on to Me in the book Tabaye al-Isttabdad. This book was published in Egypt 120 years ago and was translated into Persian two years later. It seems that this book is intended to cast a shadow on Rosa Naini, and she wrote the treatise on punishing the nation in defense of the constitution. Kwakbi wrote that tyranny is not only political, it can also present itself in the form of science, art, religion, culture and ethics. After him, many works about tyranny and freedom have been written. Apart from the works of these thinkers, our national and historical experience can be a great help for the future perspective. With historical self-awareness, let’s find out how centuries of living and breathing in the atmosphere of tyranny have left deep marks on our cultural relations.
Cleaning the roots and practices
To clear these Japas, we need continuous practice. Tyranny is like a pyramid that cannot be overthrown by hitting its top, its body which is permanent will build a suitable top again. The rules, body, roots and methods should be changed. In this case, even if an autocrat sits at the top, the pyramid will not be able to remain stable on that base.
The way that seems to be less expensive and at the same time more stable is an exercise to get rid of the sediments of tyranny. Learn how to talk to each other. Respect your opponent. Along with language activity, let’s activate our two ears. Let’s get rid of this illusion that insiders are flawless and outsiders are the manifestation of evil from our minds and hearts. Let’s accept that we are all human and don’t interpret our differences in terms of right and wrong. Let’s consider consultation and council as part of work and as a duty, not a part of decorations and a gift from the headship to the subjects.
Let’s remember that in the past, young people were called ignorant. Children and youth with education were considered to be more obedient. The youth did not have the right to choose, even the elders knew their right to choose his wife. As the dictator in the society does not give people the right to choose. But now this look is not appropriate. Let’s look at the children as the future managers of the society, not a child who is ignorant. Instead of pure obedience, today’s young people are demanding and should be held accountable.
Let’s know and count our strengths, strengths and values, so that if someone points out our weaknesses, we won’t get upset and have the strength to accept them. Let’s remember that the dictator is not an isolated taffeta, his most important characteristic is not tolerating opposition and critics. If we like to be praised and complimented and get sick of criticism and complaints, we should know that we are infected with the virus of tyranny and should be quarantined.
Therefore, let’s believe that our opponents also have capabilities and strengths that if we don’t recognize them, we will make a mistake in dealing with them.
Try to participate in a collective work. Even if we read a book together with a group of friends, or cooperate with our neighbors to improve the environment and living conditions in our place of life.
We should give importance to the law and teach our children to follow the law practically. In conflicts with others, instead of personal and hostile encounters, we should follow the path of the law. There are many capacities in the constitution and other laws for citizens, discover them and put them into practice. Let’s plan it.
We should make maximum use of the systems such as the announced telephone numbers related to the institutions and offices that have been established to answer and follow up on matters, to raise demands and follow them up practically, and report the results to others.
But the most important thing is to realize that our autocratic behavior with nature has reached a dead end today. In the past, we considered nature as a tool that should serve our desires. But nature did not overcome tyranny either. Now he has risen up against this method and narrowed the field for us. Today’s environmental problem is a global problem and human society’s. Air pollution, global warming, destruction of soil and forests, and pollution of the seas have endangered human life today. We must learn that we have no right to arbitrarily bring any harm to nature and ignore her rights. Let’s learn and practice to stop polluting nature.
