The Psychology of Revolution with Fathali Moghaddam

[@Nilu1114]

The most sane psychoanalysis of revolution I ever heard. Thank you

[@homayounshirazi9550]

Read my response to this speaker. A pseudoscientist.

[@homayounshirazi9550]

SANE ARGUEMENT IS BASED ON SANE THESIS. HE HAS NO THESIS TO SHOW THAT A RELIGION ADOPED BY 1.5 BILLIONS OF MOSLEMS, INCLUDING IRANIANS, HAS NO BASIS OR LEGITIMACY. THESIS IS AN ELEMENTARY REQUIREMENT IN ALL LOGICAL ARGUEMENTS. HIS STATEMENTS AVOID THIS BASIC REQUIREMENT OF LOGIC, NOT TO MENTION HIS BIASED OPINION.

[@sohailosmanali6499]

Heard the beginning and it is the stuff i want to learn more about. He voluntarily returned to Iran after the revolution, but in 2 years....what happens after revolution? Fascinating subject.

[@marcseghatol6583]

Brilliant analysis , thanks .

[@Lobishomem]

Excellent presentation ! Thanks

[@homayounshirazi9550]

What he said was a PSEUDO-SCIENCE. NOT SCIENCE!

[@omarsharifi5663]

Brilliant talk.

[@Not_Yourbusiness]

The best topic to speak about it

[@realfinderrftube6140]

Really interesting

[@HuynhPaul]

excellent.

[@Kuleto]

Thank you to all involved and for uploading this really interesting talk. Hopefully it gets more views but I doubt the burgeouise would allow that.

I like the parts when he is talking about the power struggles after revolution that are probably based on personal experience, I'm very sceptical on the human nature approach and the idea that the Soviets just did not work hard enough. I mean they persisted for 70 years, started from a very low basis and had just terrible mismanagement due to ideological restraints - one might even consider the possibility that people had to work considerable harder just to keep the system going under this circumstances.

[@changedNameSorry]

Concerning the specific topic of the collectivization of agriculture it is more than attested that Soviet peasants consciously hated collectivization as they had their own ideas about private property that had grown from specific historical and cultural circumstances. This does neither need psychology, nor shaky references to human nature, especially as this fits well into a pattern of strained relationships between urban revolutionaries and the rural population (e.g. in the French revolution).

دقیقا دلیلی که تا به حال ج ا براندازی نشده بعد از ۵ اعتراضات سراسری که ۲۵ سال پیش شروع شد نبود دولت آلترناتیو یا جامعه ای که مردم تصور کنند جایگزین فعلی میشود

[@hadisadrosadat1913]

This discussion does not apply to ALL revolutions - as many examples were mentioned, including US, Rwanda, South Africa, India. It was however, an accurate account of the five revolutions listed.

[@mohammedrafiyi]

Why does a dictator take over from another? The equation is so simple. The so-called free world (the West) provides the dictator with unconditional support, and, in exchange, the dictator becomes their faithful stooge. In case the dictator has to quit under duress, they (the West) replace him with another under the same conditions. International politics is defined by national interests and power politics.

[@MichaelBoelton]

and the millions of people are like cattle? do they not have a role and responsibility? everything is always someone else's fault and always the victim.

[@hansfrankfurter2903]

This entire talk can be summarized by “l like western liberalism, everything else bad” .

[@MichaelBoelton]

funny how western liberal democracies are where most people in the world like to immigrate to.

[@martinneal5240]

It also ignores the Dictatorship that western "democracy" has imposed on the bulk of the rest of the world. He see's none of the millions killed by "democracy's" lying wars. He is a complete pratt.

[@JDNM2024]

Are you sure - back in 1979 Iran - you were in search of freedom and democracy - whatever that now you understand of it?

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Iranian revolution was engineered by USA therefore in this case psychology was not a factor!

[@MichaelBoelton]

oh come on.

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

@@MichaelBoelton It takes decades of academic studies and research to understand the role of America in many nasty revolutions and wars in the world.

[@RippleDrop.]

Psychology is always a factor when it comes to humans

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

@@RippleDrop.we are talking about the main cause of Iranian revolution which was USA plot to prevent the fast development of Iranian economy and military same way USA has been doing to Russia and China. Psychology, biology, physics and chemistry are always a factor in everything including the earth atmosphere!

I don't support anyone or any types of govrnment in the world.. sometimes Dictatorship is better and sometimes democracy.. science is not democracy.. physics have rigid rules and is a dictator.. gay marriage is not the purposes of democracy.. take example of compulsary hijab.. Hijab reduces aggression in societies... if you inforce Hijab then you have to spend millions of dollars to employ police to deal with aggression.. Dictatorship is cheaper and has its advantages.. perhaps one should alternate between ductatorship and democracy. neither is the answer. as we have seen democratic countries such as USA .. has been responsible for all wars in the world after the 2nd war..

[@MichaelBoelton]

your comment and photo are a perfect match.

[@homayounshirazi9550]

"Hejab is just a piece of cloth and some people are willing to die for it" says the learned professor. JUST AS A FLAG IS SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DIE FOR IT. DYING FOR AN IDEA OR WAY OF LIFE ! THINK AGAIN PROFESSOR ! AVOID PATHOLOGIZING PEOPLES WAY OF LIFE. YOUR PSEUDOSCIENCE HAS NO PLACE IN A UNIVERSITY.

[@MichaelBoelton]

settle down baba
