Criticism is the right of every human being and one should learn from criticism, not insult. One should look for the gap that caused the criticism and find a solution. Unfortunately, none of the Iranian opposition has democratic thinking and is not open to criticism, but rather avoids criticism.
Statement of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Iran
In response to the recent positions of the People's Mojahedin Organization against Komala
The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran has now issued such a statement because of a small criticism. If it were in power, it would probably have massacred everyone. Mr. Rajavi's People's Democratic Republic is the same as the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.
🔹 The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran recently issued a statement full of insults and non-political language in response to an interview with the BBC by Comrade Ebrahim Alizadeh, the first secretary of Komala. This interview dealt with various issues regarding the situation in Iran and the region, and only about a minute of it was dedicated to the People's Mojahedin Organization. Of course, in the past 46 years, no one has seen an example of the People's Mojahedin Organization going outside this framework when it comes to its political opponents. If they have, please remind them. There is much to say about the MEK, but we will only briefly mention a few points related to their recent announcement:
1. Komaleh and support for Massoud Rajavi’s candidacy
🔹 That Komaleh supported Massoud Rajavi’s candidacy for president in 1979 is true and is related to a responsible motive to fortify against a danger that threatened the entire democratic achievements of the 1979 revolution. Although this stance is understandable in those circumstances, Komaleh officially criticized this stance on several occasions, including at its sixth congress in the spring of 1988.
🔹 But can the MEK deny its initial alliance with Khomeini and Bani-Sadr? The same Bani-Sadr who asked soldiers and IRGC members not to take off their boots to suppress the counter-revolution in Kurdistan? This alliance continued until Khomeini did not accept them within his system and rejected them.
🔹 Has the leadership of the People's Mojahedin Organization ever criticized itself for the several disasters that have befallen its own members as a result of the organization's policies - for example, in the final days of the Iran-Iraq war, during the internal ideological revolution, during the evacuation of Camp Ashraf and Liberty, in the events around Kirkuk during the Kuwait war, etc.? In such cases and in no other case does it criticize itself or accept criticism, because it derives its legitimacy from its ideology. While all of these are documented historical facts and no one can deny them at will.
2. Komaleh and the issue of compulsory hijab
🔹 Our criticism is directed at the hijab in the Mojahedin organization as a "compulsory uniform". This criticism is not directed at the individual beliefs of the members, but rather at the imposition of an organization that shows no flexibility in the face of internal diversity and pluralism. Komaleh considers the hijab to be a personal matter for people over the age of 18. Our criticism is that in the structure of the MEK, the hijab has been practically imposed as an organizational requirement and not an individual choice. Iranian society, especially in the “Women, Life, Freedom” uprising, has shown that it is opposed to any kind of coercion in the individual spheres and personal lives of people.
🔹 How can an organization that does not accept diversity of clothing within itself claim individual and social freedoms for the future of Iran? What they say about democracy and people’s rights will simply fade in the face of their unchangeable ideological beliefs when they come to power. Didn’t Khomeini speak of the freedom of women and communists in Paris? But the requirements of his ideological beliefs simply burst all those promises like a bubble.
🔹 Can this Mojahedin organization eliminate the stereotype of those days of its publications, which contain historical evidence about their positions on the hijab of women in general and not just women members of the organization? What image will the Iranian youth, who burned their hijabs or were impaled on stakes during the "Women, Life, Freedom" revolution, have of the possible rise to power of this organization in the future? They see in the faces of today's members of this organization the true face of the promised secularism of their future.
3. Mujahideen and the Kurdistan Movement
🔹 The Kurdistan Movement faced Khomeini's jihad fatwa and the bloody repression of the people. At that historical juncture, the criterion for measuring the strength was their position on this tragedy. The Mojahedin organization never explicitly condemned this attack and today prefers to remain silent about that period.

"Avoiding criticism" and "not tolerating criticism" may sound similar but reflect different attitudes and behaviors. Here's how they differ:
1. Avoiding Criticism
This means actively trying to steer clear of situations where one might be criticized.
Characteristics:
-
Preemptive behavior: You might play it safe, avoid risks, or refrain from expressing opinions to avoid being judged.
-
Fear of judgment: Driven by anxiety or insecurity.
-
May involve people-pleasing: Trying to be agreeable or overly accommodating to dodge negative feedback.
Examples:
-
Not speaking up in meetings to avoid potential disagreement.
-
Choosing not to share creative work (like writing or art) for fear of critique.
2. Not Tolerating Criticism
This means reacting poorly when criticism is given—regardless of whether it’s constructive.
Characteristics:
-
Defensiveness or anger: Even mild or helpful feedback is met with resistance or denial.
-
Ego sensitivity: May stem from pride, insecurity, or a need to feel always "right."
-
Blaming others: Instead of reflecting on feedback, the person may shift blame or attack the critic.
Examples:
-
Responding to a suggestion at work with hostility or sarcasm.
-
Cutting off relationships with people who offer honest (but respectful) criticism.
In Summary:
| Avoiding Criticism | Not Tolerating Criticism | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Avoiding situations where criticism may arise | Reacting badly when criticism is given |
| Motivation | Fear of judgment or rejection | Ego defense or emotional intolerance |
| Behavior | Withdrawal, silence, over-cautiousness | Defensiveness, aggression, denial |

Is criticism avoidance a mental illness?
Criticism avoidance is not a mental illness in itself. However, it can be a behavioral trait or a symptom associated with certain psychological patterns or mental health conditions, depending on its intensity and impact on a person’s life.
Common Reasons for Criticism Avoidance
Criticism avoidance can stem from a variety of factors:
1. Low self-esteem
People with low self-worth may fear criticism because they internalize it as a confirmation of their inadequacy.
2. Perfectionism
Perfectionists often avoid criticism because they equate it with failure. Even minor feedback can feel threatening.
3. Social anxiety
In social anxiety disorder, fear of negative evaluation is a core feature. People may avoid situations where they could be criticized.
4. Trauma or negative past experiences
Someone who’s been harshly criticized or shamed in the past (e.g., during childhood or in toxic relationships) may develop a strong fear of criticism.
5. Personality traits or disorders
Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD): Characterized by extreme sensitivity to rejection and criticism, leading to social withdrawal.
Narcissistic traits: Some individuals may avoid criticism because it threatens their fragile self-image.
When Is It a Problem?
Criticism avoidance becomes a concern when it:
Interferes with relationships or work
Causes intense emotional distress
Leads to avoidance of growth opportunities
Reflects deeper psychological issues
What Can Help?
Therapy (especially CBT or schema therapy) can address thought patterns behind fear of criticism.
Building self-esteem
Learning assertiveness and resilience
Reframing criticism as a tool for growth rather than an attack
If criticism avoidance is creating real issues in your life or feels overwhelming, talking to a mental health professional can provide clarity and strategies for coping.
