Love this post. Iran is kind of model for MAGA—religious restoration after a failed attempt at modernization ("modernization"), nationalist, etc (there is a psychoanalytic reading here about hating Iran so much because because Iran reminds of MAGA of itself). Discussion of Skocpol's views on Iranian revolution here: https://undsoc.org/2014/02/11/skocpol-on-the-1979-revolution-in-iran/ "Skocpol finds that the large features of the Iranian Revolution did indeed fit the terms of her definition of a social revolution, but that the causal background and components of this historical event did not fit her expectations."

Wow, I hadn’t seen Skocpol covering Iran--thanks for that!
