The Last Barricade of Revolution: The Kurdish Resistance in the Iranian Revolution of 1979

Mansur Tayfuri

A revolution, as a political event and a truth procedure, is not itself the truth, but it opens up a space towards the possibility of another world. We can compare it to the emission of John the Baptiste who, though he was not Messiah himself, cried out in the desert: “Prepare the way for the coming of Messiah!”[1]. Any revolution forces us to encounter what we never expected to emerge. That is why a revolution always functions as a shock. According to Marxist classical definition, revolutions always act as the motor of history. However, looking back at the history of modern revolutions, it is more apt to follow Benjamin in characterizing the revolution as the "emergency brake" of history, a brake that stops the continuous and “predetermined” movement of time, and in this way, introduces a gap or an exception into the course of history.
