Between the repression of the Islamic regime and the agenda of a Western-backed liberal opposition lies a suppressed tradition of Iranian revolutionary socialism. Marxism from Iran recovers this vital legacy through the writings of Mansoor Hekmat, one of the Middle East’s most formidable Marxist thinkers. Spanning from the 1979 Iranian revolution to his untimely death during the early days of the War on Terror in 2002, this essential collection brings together Hekmat’s most influential work.
Challenging the foundations of capitalism and the state, Hekmat exposes how culture, ideology and morality are weaponised while laying out a visionary path towards social revolution and communism. Crucially, he establishes the principles of ‘Worker-Communism,’ the unapologetically internationalist Marxist current that he was central to developing.
Expanding across decades of radical thought, this book also tackles the most explosive geopolitical issues of our time. Hekmat offers sharp critiques of nationalism and imperialism alongside uncompromising defenses of women’s equality and Palestinian freedom. Bold and clear, Marxism from Iran reclaims a revolutionary legacy urgently needed in our own moment of crisis.
