Slogans of the Iranian revolution

Sociologists study the slogans of a revolution to study things such as the opinions of the revolutionizing society about the ruling regime, the reasons for opposing it, the reasons for following certain revolutionary leaders, the ideals and beliefs of the revolutionary people, and their desired perfection in the foundation of the new system.

[1] According to Ahmad Salamatian, an expert on Iranian political issues and a representative of the first period of the parliament of Iran after the 1979 revolution, Iranian society has an oral culture that poetry is very important in it; Therefore, poems are significantly present in every collective activity in Iran.

According to Abbas Abdi, an Iranian political activists, the issue of political independence, the interference of foreigners and Mohammad Reza Shah's dependence on them was a key issue in the Iranian revolution that was also manifested in the slogans; But the combination of these things with freedom and the Islamic republic was formed gradually.

But Abbas Abdi believes that the slogans of the leftists did not appeal to the public and were not usually spread among the people.

He also believes that before and after the victory of the revolution, the placards of demonstrators and their slogans have a noticeable difference: Before the victory of the revolution, in the placards of various groups and factions, the photos of Mohammad Mosaddegh, Ali Shariati or the photos of the victims of repression can be seen, but after the victory of revolution, only the photo of Ruhollah Khomeini and large religious placards and flags remained.
