The outbreak of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 was the result of the accompaniment and alliance of various social, political, and cultural currents that entered the field of struggle with different goals and motives. This article analyzes the goals and ideals of the participating currents in a comparative-descriptive method and tries to answer the question of how convergence on negative goals was easily achieved, but never aligned on positive ideals. The article is based on the hypothesis that the victory of the revolution was basically the result of a comprehensive tactical convergence in the form of common negative goals (such as the end of tyranny, the overthrow of the monarchy, and political independence), but the fundamental contradiction in the positive ideals (the definition of a desirable political and social system) after the collapse of the previous structure led the participating currents to confrontation. This article examines the role of religious, nationalist, and leftist currents, to show how overlap in negative goals led to the success and the lack of agreement on positive ideals and the dominance of religious discourse, led to the marginalization of other currents and the redefinition of the power structure in the post-revolutionary era. This article also concludes that the revolution is polyphony in nature, but the complexities of the transition from a comprehensive revolution to a comprehensive revolution A single political system inevitably sacrifices many ideals.
