In Their Words: Discursive Origins of the Iranian Fadai
<p>IN THEIR WORDS examines a selection of influential texts by the Fadai (literally, “self-sacrificers”), a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla organization in Iran that emerged in the 1960s. Despite decades of militant leftist publishing and revolutionary movement, Iranian communist thought remains removed from much of the wider Marxist canon. This zine seeks to take a step towards remedying this oversight by detailing many of the publications and periodicals related to the Fadai, which belong alongside the better-known texts of Marxists from Latin America, China, and the United States. Every revolution is specific, but all have lessons for future revolutionaries, and Iran’s is both an inspiring and cautionary tale.</p>
