Can it be claimed that Khomeini and his associates in their immigration to Europe in the midst of the twentieth century were supported and assisted by the same so-called incompetent, subtle and subjective democracies? All this went on under the shadow of such “incompetent” democracies, and through which the European and American workforce laid the foundations for great successes in the enhancement of their standards of life. During World War II, the role of fascism in Europe not only failed to reduce the value of democracy, but indeed, it caused it to grow stronger. The question is whether or not the Islamic leaders have so far been capable of creating the same “incompetent” democracy under their slogans of socialist democracy? If we could recognize the style of government in Iran, which is declared by Islamic leaders as following the model of socialist democracy, then it would be a much easier task to distinguish the deep contradictions of their socialist democracy from a democratic system. Today, what is left of what once were laws and democratic measures applied to Islamic societies are purely their names and empty shells. In the past, democracy was primarily referred to as a political term, but today, the definition of democracy cannot only be limited to within political boundaries. Now, democracy not only is a political term but also includes economical, social and other terms. This new dimension, which covers man’s productive activities in the economy, has gradually gained prominent meaning in democracy. The terminology of democracy advances forward at such a rate that it is even included in literature, art and other social activities.
