1_ The Organization of Iranian People's Fedayee Guerrillas is a communist organization dedicated to the principle " from anyone according to her or his talent and to anyone according to her or his needs". It opposes imperialism and capitalist monopolies. It considers socialism as the only alternative to the capitalist society, and the path to save humanity from war and want. In its opinion, the full realization of socialism , is a global matter and the synonym to the process of weakening state. The organization considers itself a part of the global socialist and workers movement and relentlessly fights neo-liberalism and its aggressions against the standard of living and the livelihood of the people, which is leading society to decadence and destruction.
2_ A socialist order is a democratic, pluralist, and secularist, seperating religon and ideology from functioning of the state. Socialism is based on the people's. direct participation in their own affairs and the recognition of their right of self-determination. The organization any undemocratic socialism, any composition of the communist party and state, any suppressive, determinist and arbitrary socialism, opposes any interference in the private lives of the individual members of the society, and the socialist based cult of personality.

Our thoughts and theories are focused on humankind and in harmony with scientific gains. The organization is aware that in thought and theory, inevitably, there exists limitations, challenge, weakessn , and tight corners, which can only to be overcome with efforts to conform with the genuine progress of the society, as well as the recoquition of the scientific and technological gains of humanity.

The organization has placed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, its Covenants and other relevant international conventions on the top of its agenda, as a strategic principle.
