Worker-Communist Party of Iran - Hekmatist
- Worker-Communist Party of Iran - Hekmatist
The Worker-Communist Party of Iran - Hekmatist is an opposition Iranian political party in exile. Its founder and current leader is Koorosh Modaressi, its current Vice-Leader is Rahman Hosseinzadeh and its current Chair of the Politbureau is Fateh Sheikh.
The group has a military arm, mainly in Iranian Kurdistan, the "Freedom Guards". The current commander-in-chief of the Freedom Guards (who is also military adviser to the leader of the party) is Abdollah Darabi.
The WPI-Hekmatist was formed in 2004 after a major split from the Worker-Communist Party of Iran (WPI). More than half of the WPI's Central Committee and almost all of its Kurdistan Committee joined the WPI-Hekmatist. The leadership of Worker-Communist Party of Iraq also supported this move and it is now the sister party of the WPI-Hekmatist.
The group claims to hold more closely to the line of Mansoor Hekmat, the WPI's founder, but this claim has denied by the WPI leadership and the dispute between the two parties is still ongoing. WPI-H denounce the WPI leadership as enacting a "retreat to the traditional Left" and WPI leadership call the WPI-H "a right-wing split" and sometimes in sarcasm "Anti-Hekmatist" or more recently "UnHekmatist".
The Hekmatist party has declared it to be their goal to establish a modern Communist mass party in Iran and organize a Socialist revolution as Marx had formulated it. They distinguish themselves from other "traditional Left" groups by emphasizing their organization's focus on an immediate task (to the vanguard of the social movement for a Socialist revolution), rather than merely be an "intellectually-enlightning sectarian organization".
