The leadership of the clergy has failed; The duration of leadership should be limited

📌In my opinion, the clerical government has failed. We have to say this with compassion and clarity, and explain why the clergy was the big loser in accepting the responsibility of the government.
📌By accepting the responsibility of the government, the clergy diverted the government from its usual path and weakened the civil society, and destroyed the balance between the society and the government. To be frank, it harmed itself, the government, and the society. It also spread atheism a lot.
📌At the beginning of the victory of the revolution, we defended the inclusion of Velayat al-Faqih in the constitution. Then we realized that we were wrong and now we have to admit that the legal authority should not have been included in the constitution.
📌Entering the military into the field of politics and elections conflicts with the republic. It is in the interest of the IRGC to withdraw from these activities. Most of the soldiers are also dissatisfied with the current situation.
📌A successful revolution is the last revolution. A revolution that ends in another revolution has failed.
📌If we want the Islamic revolution to succeed, we must do something so that society does not think about another revolution. The way is democracy and economic development of the country.

📌From Khomeini's point of view, the most important difference between the monarchy and the republic was that in the republic, all temporary and elected officials are accountable to the people. Despite this, we made the leader both lifelong and divorced. This is against the republican system.
📌According to 42 years of experience, we should reject lifelong and hereditary. The leader is elected for a certain period and then leaves, like the president. This is the meaning of a republic. Khomeini's promise in Nofel Loshato was the same.
