Translated from Turkish
A philosopher dies; look to the philosophy he left behind.
Ali Larijani turned Descartes' radical skepticism into a political ideology in the Iranian landscape. Its cornerstone was this: the fact that trusting the West—especially the US and Israel foremost—would lead to deadly consequences in relations with them.
If Iran today can lecture the US on logic and morality at the diplomatic table, this is the most concrete proof that Ali Larijani's philosophy has fully transformed into Iran's state policy.
Doubt everything; but doubt the Westerners especially—the ones in ties, spouting pompous words.
That's why the philosopher was killed. Not for doubting them, not for questioning them, but so that generations would grow up believing in them unconditionally and submitting.
But once the arrow leaves the bow, the sword the sheath, the philosophy escapes the philosopher's mind. So much so that only Iranians once knew of it; now all the children of oppressed peoples suffering under imperialism's tyranny know it.
We doubt you, and the reason is your track record.
And upon you peace, Brother Ali—we will never forget you.
