After the Islamic Revolution, according to the intellectual life of the left currents in discourse conflicts, they play a more active role in scientific discussions. The Iranian left, which looks at revolutionary, structural, repulsive, and even anti-capitalist and imperialist changes with the spice of indigenous modernization, it tends towards modernity with rational, scientific, humanistic and secular orientations. A critical approach to theories of development and rejection of macro-theories of modernization and the tendency towards socialist modernity can be considered as one of their intellectual characteristics.
This movement tries to rethink the role and function of the government with a critical approach.
