Abstract

Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization involved in internal violence and many assassinations during 1973-1977, some of the most known were the assassination of Majid Sharif Vaghei and Morteza Samadie Labbaf. Although all of this violence cannot be proved ideological by historical evidence, but this conflict between the Marxist members and religious members, is an interesting subject in the history of Iranian armed movements. This article looks for the reason and quality of these happenings in the Hannah Arendt`s Theory of Totalitarianism.
