During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.
The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they had defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.

They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and could not wait to get rid of them.
