Communist endeavors existed in Iran since the early twentieth century, but it was only after the deposition on Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1941, that a communist party could act openly and freely in the new political environment that followed Pahlavi’s ascending to throne. Coincidently, this was a time when the threat that united most of Iran’s left leaning public was the Fascist wave that started to take root in the country during the last years of Reza Shah. The groups that joined to spearhead the leftist movements were, naturally, those who feared the most of the fascist tendencies in Iran – the religious minorities. Groups of prominent Armenian and Jewish leaders aligned together with a group of Muslim thinkers to establish the Tudeh party. The Tudeh party was not a “regular” communist party. While it shared deep sentiment to the Soviet Union, it also viewed the Iranian sphere as significantly more important for their activity. They went as far as disregarding the universal aspects of their communist obligation by leaving the famous slogan “Workers of the World- Unite” out of their party’s bylaws. Since 1941, the Tudeh party participated in all of Iran’s national struggles (with varied levels of success) and raised the flag of national sovereignty. For the minorities involved in the party this was an unprecedented chance to label themselves first and foremost as Iranian nationalists and not by their hybrid identities or mixed allegiances. Before the 1979 Revolution, minorities amplified their activity within the religious communities in order to make sure their place in the post-revolution Iran would be even more central than during the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s “Golden Age.” This paper will examine the inception of the Tudeh party as a venue for the minorities to reclaim their place in the Iranian society.
