The reality of the 57th revolution

The reality of the 57 revolution is something else. The Islamic Republic Revolution in 57 was victorious after a year of demonstrations; but did those who took to the streets and demonstrated to achieve the Islamic Republic Revolution and the clerical government think about what would happen in the future? Did they think that they would one day lose all the facilities that the Shah had provided them? What was their motivation for this revolution? Did they realize their mistake after the Islamic Republic Revolution was victorious?

The population of Tehran at the time of the revolution was about 4 million people, and until then, the largest number of Khomeini supporters, despite the false propaganda of the colonial media, was not as large as the Shah's supporters. The most popular slogan of the people was Javid Shah. Despite the sabotage and betrayals of Shapur Bakhtiar, who did not allow the Shah's supporters to march, on 5th Bahman 1978, people took to the streets in support of the Shah, but perhaps it was too late.

A post-revolution video has gone viral on social media, showing people's dissatisfaction with the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the departure of the Shah at that time.

A woman at the demonstration says: "The majority of Iranians support the Shah, but they are afraid of Khomeini's armed terrorists. The majority of people (the silent majority) are filled with fear."

In this video, the foreign journalist asks: Are these silent majority supporters of the Shah? The Iranian girl says: Yes, that's true. The journalist asks again: Do you want the Shah to return? And the Iranian girl says again: Yes, only the Shah. We want the Shah to return to the country.

Another woman who has just understood the truth, burst into tears and says: I want the Shah. She says: I am miserable, I am poor, I want the Shah (for the glory of Iran and Iranians). The foreign reporter asks her why do you want the Shah? And she replies: Because these turbaned people will make us miserable. From now on, we will no longer have security. The mullahs looted our houses and say that you must give us whatever you have, the mullahs. They say that the Shah is gone and we have come to work and now you are miserable. The mullahs kicked us out of our houses with sticks and clubs. (Houses that the Shah had given to the villagers).

After that, the same silent majority remained silent for fear of government mercenaries and the fear of losing their lives, but today their children, who wanted the rule of the Islamic Republic, after 43 years of hardship, pressure, and suffocation, opened their mouths and took their cry for justice to the streets. Much blood was shed in this justice, and, like the 1957 revolution, many families were left in mourning.

Iran today has an awake and alert youth who are thirsty for freedom and victory. Youth who know that they should not remain silent in the face of the crimes of the Islamic Republic regime and who have risen up to cleanse the land of Iran from corruption, oppression, and darkness before it is too late.
