Larijani: Marx believed that without conflict, no movement occurs.
Larijani: In our country, we have two types of politicians. Now, by politicians, I mean the groups that have been active in recent years. One type is those who place political life on a path of conflict. Perhaps in the past, Marxists were like this.
Marx indeed believed that without conflict, no movement occurs. I’m not saying that this type of political activists have borrowed from Marx, but when there is categorization and polarization, and they challenge each other, the scene becomes exciting. However, the excitement is temporary.
The issue with such gaps is that their initial appearance is attractive and becomes populist, leading to street or domestic conflicts, but in the long term, it turns into social rifts.
Another group consists of managers who think a bit more foresightedly and certainly sacrifice short-term interests for long-term benefits. They accept that there is diversity in society and that it should be respected and guided towards unity.
