Abstract
Abstract The formation of a theocratic state in Iran after the 1979 revolution has had profound and lasting ramifications within the country and beyond. This article presents a renewed Marxist feminist analysis of Iran’s quest for freedom and democracy in the context of the rise of theocratic capitalism. I contend that Jîna’s Uprising implores us to revisit the symbiotic relations between Islamic fundamentalism and capitalist imperialism. This crucial connection is often overlooked in historical accounts and theoretical analysis.
