His work centered on the idea that the “defeat of capitalism and comprador capitalism” is possible by “armed struggle both as a strategy and a tactic".^[3] He left Mashhad in 1964 and he went to Tehran and studied Mathematics at the University of Tehran. His works deal with politics, the nature of comprador capitalism, guerrilla warfare, monarchy, and dictatorship.^[4]
