Two
days before Israel launched an attack on Iran, the Tel Aviv branch of
the Communist Party of Israel (Maki) hosted a meeting on the topic of Iranian Marxism. This was as part
of the series of lectures on Marxism in the Middle East. The meeting,
held online, included a lecture by N., an exiled Iranian Marxist, who
asked that his name not be published.
The lecture opened with introductory remarks: One of the central characteristics of the Marxist movement as a whole is the ability to learn from failures and see them as setbacks in a long struggle.
