LBO-Talk November 2001: From the Weekly Standard: Postmodern Ji   Jacob
Segal quoteth Weekly Standard>... Algerian writer Frantz Fanon, crystallized
the Third World
variant of postmodernist revolution in "The Wretched of the Earth" (1961).
>From there, it entered the world of Middle Eastern radicals. Many of the
leaders of the Shiite revolution in Iran that deposed the modernizing shah
and brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power in 1979 had studied Fanon's
brand of Marxism. Ali Shari'at, the Sorbonne-educated Iranian sociologist of
religion considered by many the intellectual father of the Shiite
revolution, translated "The Wretched of the Earth" and Sartre's "Being and
Nothingness into Persian." The Iranian revolution was a synthesis of Islamic
fundamentalism and European Third World socialism.

   Yup, Ali Shari'at whatta marxist!
