Heh.

MEK and the US government[edit]
Before their exile, ‘Anti-Imperialism’ was preached by MEK both before and after revolution. The Mojahedin Organization praised writers such as Al-e Ahmad, Saedi and Shariati for being ‘anti-imperialist’.[90] Rajavi in his presidential campaign after revolution used to warn against what he called the ‘imperialist danger’.[91] The matter was so fundamental to MEK that it criticized the Iranian government on that basis, accusing the Islamic Republic of ‘capitualation to imperialism’ and being disloyal to democracy that according to Rajavi was the only means to ‘safeguard from American imperialism’.[92] However, after exile, Rajavi toned down the issues of imperialism, social revolution, and classless society. Instead he stressed on human rights and respect for ‘personal property’.[93]
