The Iranian Revolution 1979 and 2009
Softcover, 24 pages
Product Details
We reproduce here two articles by Alan Woods that provide a Marxist analysis of the 2009 revolutionary events in Iran. These articles also present a way forward for the workers, women, youth, and other oppressed layers of Iranian society.
We are also republishing « The Iranian Revolution, » an article written by Ted Grant in 1979, which analyzes the revolutionary events of that year. It presents the revolution as it truly was: a workers’ revolution that, in the absence of a clear, far-sighted revolutionary leadership, was hijacked by a clique of reactionary, fundamentalists, who far from establishing the “Democratic Muslim Republic” that they promised, have ruled and exploited the Iranian working masses with an iron-fist for the past thirty years.
These documents deserve serious study by all dedicated revolutionaries, both in Iran, the U.S., and around the world.
