Mustafa Shu'a'iyan and Fada'iyan-i Khalq: Frontal Politics, Stalinism, and the Role of Intellectuals in Iran
2007
Overview
This paper presents a glance into the life and times of the forgotten Iranian revolutionary and political theorist, Mustafa Shu'a'iyan, and his engagement with the orthodox and militant Iranian Left of the 1970s. A brief biographical sketch situates Shu'a'iyan in the context of the leftist groups of his time. In particular, the paper shows how upon his agonizing organizational relationship with the People's Fada'i Guerrillas, he set himself the unenviable task of launching the pathology of Stalinism that dominated the Iranian Left for decades. In this context, his bitter debate with the Fada'i Guerrillas on the role of the intellectuals in revolutionary struggle appears as a step toward unravelling the plagues that have won the Iranian Left its ill repute of being ideologically and organizationally undemocratic.
