Studying the impact of Iranian intellect on the Tudeh Party of Iran, as a major political party in spreading Marxism in Iran, this article finds that to what extent the Collective Fantasy – an intellectual- cultural heritage in nation- influences the process of changing the concepts of Marxism. Mediology theory from which the term Collective Fantasy has been adopted, analytically studies on the impact of message intermediaries on transfer process. Since in this intellectual ground the cultural concepts have nonsensibly been transferred by political unconscious, which itself is a component among collective fantasy, the recognition of fantasy elements seem quite significant. Based on historical- analytic approach and using Mediology theory, the article introduces Religion Tendency, Religion- State alliance and Dualism as the elements of Iranian collective fantasy. Accumulated in Iranian Collective Fantasy by political unconscious, these elements ultimately influenced the Tudeh party of Iran. Accordingly, the article provides a ground to a new recognition of Tudeh party of Iran, then Iranian Marxism.
