In addition to the camps of the West and the camp that the U.S. leads—which today the people can understand the ideology at its core by looking at the U.S.'s methods and policies within that camp--there used to be another extensive system in the name of Marxism, Communism, or Socialism. This system made claims even bigger than the western liberals did.
Whatever point one made from the Islamic teachings or Islamic philosophy that expressed what should or shouldn’t happen [Iranian Marxists], they would say, "There is no should. Marxism is about science. You think it should happen? We say it will happen, whether you want it to happen or not." —This was what they thought of Marxism: it is how certain they were about it. In the course of a hundred years or more, they had planned every detail of how to organize the emergence of the socialist and then the communist system in the world. They said, "There is no doubt about it. This is how it is. Whether you say it 'should' or 'shouldn't', Marxism will take its trend towards conquering the entire world."
Today there is nothing left in the world from the irrevocable, irrefutable events the Marxists imagined. Marx passed away, so did his reputation and credit. Today, the westerners reiterate the same notions of irrevocability and irrefutability on their own views: "There is no option. Globalization is the irreversible destiny of humankind. Whether you want it or not, it will happen." They had concealed the realities of their own lives behind iron curtains to prevent anyone from realizing the truth about them. Thus, many of the young people would fall for those words. But the reality of what they do is now explicit; they have no shame: they claim “whatever we say will happen, and it cannot be revoked.” And a few simple-minded people—being most optimistic about their intentions—fall for these words, thinking there is nothing that can revoke or reject them. They promote these concepts among the people—young or old—in their intellectual and academic gatherings. They would die just to inject these ideas into the minds of the people. The Islamic Revolution of Iran was born during the days when such discussions were going on, and the Revolution invalidated them all.
