RE: Early Iranian Communism: Mirza Kūchak Khan
I can't believe it never crossed my mind that the communist movement was even a thing in Arabic (Musilm) countries. Thanks for the post!

A pleasure! Though, as much as Persia/Iran is majority Muslim, it definitely not Arab ;) Most Iranians are Indo-European, not Semitic like Arabs are :)
I'm not so knowledgeable about Arab states, but there was a Communist strain in the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic, too, but those movements didn't really gain much support in the late 19th and early 20th century.
I'm glad you appreciated this!
Thank you for the info. As a Croat, we really learn little about non-European history in school. I will definitely look for a documentary on the subject. If you have one please do share a link.
In South Africa, too, we only really learn South African history and European history. Hopefully that becomes more diverse in both our countries!
I'm looking now for documentaries on Mirza Kuchak, Iranian communism and Turkish communism but I can't find anything with decent English subtitles, let alone in Croatian!
This documentary series on Mirza Kuchak is on Youtube, but the English subtitles are auto-generated. They're not great, but you could try!
Thnx. My stepmom is from South Africa :)
No ways! :D It's a small world :D
