What do the Islamic Revolution in Iran and Donald Trump's rise to power have in common? Everything, it seems. From "A Tale of Two Marches," live now at The Huffington Post: "Just days after the country’s new government assumed power, hundreds of thousands of women took to the streets to march in protest. The unprecedented demonstrations erupted as a result of rumors that the new regime planned to implement anti-women orders, despite having risen to power under the guise of a populist, nationalist message that promised to drain the swamp, so to speak, of the nation’s elitist forces, excesses, and perceived corruption. Indeed, the power dynamics of the country had suddenly shifted in a surprising conservative backlash fueled by support among uneducated, working-class males and aided by a fractured left-wing composed of socialists, social democrats, and liberals who failed to take the threat of a potentially fascist new government seriously. Many citizens simply felt it was impossible...until it became inevitable. No, this is not the story of the Women’s March on Washington, D.C. The country: Iran. The year: 1979. The new leader: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-rarely-told-story-of-the-original-womens-march_us_58c7b1c0e4b022817b2916bf Check it out.
