Which point of marxist theory inspired islamic revolutionares and why?

Question

any ideas please?

Answer 1

basic social equality akin to the Islamic value of spiritual equality. also poss redistribution of wealth throughout society esp to the poor. you could try to find out more about colonel gadaffi of libya as he is a marxist revolutionary and once retorted that marx had only rejected religion as an opiate of the masses because he never studied Islam. stuff about his background and inspirations would probably answer your question best.

Answer 2

The rejection of capitalism and capitalistic imperialism is one of the strongest points in Marxism that inspired Islamic revolutionaries, particularly in the Iranian student revolutionary council during the 1970's. At that time, the Shah of Iran was a dictator, put into power by a CIA supported coup in the 1950's. One the one hand he was very repressive against Islamic fundimentalists. One the other hand, Iran allowed many western freedoms such as using the money they made selling oil to the West to support many Iranian student studying here in the U.S.

Given the freedom of speech here, and under the influence of Soviet and radical U.S. student (who were well organized at that time, having just successfully influenced the U.S withdrawal from Viet Nam) many of those students became radical Marxists. In the mid to late 1970's, there were many demonstrations by Iranian students here in the U.S. opposing the Shah of Iran. The Shah was a harsh dictator, and a strong ally of the U.S. on the Soviet border. The opposition spread to Iran. It was a huge blow to U.S. interests when the Shah was deposed in 1979, and a huge lift to Soviet expasionist efforts. Then, when the Shah was allowed to enter the U.S. for cancer treatments a few months later, the Iranian student revolutionary council members were so enraged they stormed the U.S. Embasy and took the U.S. personnel there hostages for 444 days. Many of the students claimed that they were Marxist and this was a blow to the Imerialistic U.S. government and the capitalistic oil companies. However, shortly afterward the Soviet Union invaded Afganistan and set up its own puppet government, and the support of Marxism cooled dramatically in Iran.

Answer 3

You can't claim that some point of Marxist theory inspired Islamic revolutions ;Islam sprang into life 1400 years ago whereas Marxism nearly 200 years ago.
Islam,in contrast to other religions,was an innovative one at the time which claimed equality,relatively freedom for women,who were not counted as humans,helping the poor in a way that you can't go to bed if any of your neighbours is in need for food.
Maybe those points meet some of Marxism's.
By the way,I am a member of a Muslim society.

Answer 4

How do you define Islamic revolutionaries? At this point I see no connection
