Abrahamian's brilliant Iran between Two Revolutions, for example, really was two books rolled into one. Its core, three chapters on the Tudeh from 1941 to 1953 plus two chapters on politics during these years, built on a sociological dissertation about the "social bases of Iranian politics" and on texts such as "The Crowd in Iranian Politics" that were inspired by British Marxist social historians.103[1]

It was these ordinary people who, despite differences in religion, ethnicity, education, and gender, joined the party and the labor unions, and thus rudely intervened in state politics, historically deemed to be the special preserve of the ruling class. The Tudeh Party was unique in what it did. It remains so.[2]
American academics prefer to place the coup squarely in the context of the Cold War — not in that of north versus south or imperial versus anticolonial conflicts.[2]
...we now have a republic that continues to speak with the rhetoric of radical populism, but pursues socio-economic policies that at heart are conservative. For example, the regime has ruled that land reform should not limit ownership, since such restrictions would violate the sacred rights of private property enshrined in the shari’a. Populism in Iran shares much with populisms elsewhere in the world. It looks radical from outside, but its inner core is conservative. The obvious difference between present-day populism in the United States and in Iran is that while the former is a threat to the whole plan[e]t, the latter is a detriment mostly to its own people.[2]
