What's the socialist non authoritarian government that was ousted?

They are probably talking about this:

I am too tired to explain why this influenced the 1979 Islamic revolution but it is not the main cause. Also it's not that you guys are interested to hear my side of the story.

Not a socialist, so I guess they were referring to somebody else. Thanks for trying though
