The main issue of the research is to examine and criticize the compatibility of the Crane Brinton theory with the Islamic Revolution. One of the topics that has importance and research potential in the study of the history of revolutions, and especially in the history of the Islamic Revolution, and is worthy of research, is the subject of Thermidor. The aim of the present research is to examine the compatibility and criticism of the aforementioned theory in the history of the Islamic Revolution (the era of the Islamic Republic). The research is of the qualitative type, relying on the historical method (in terms of using sources and data) and applying Brinton's theory of revolution. The findings indicate that Thermidor's theory is not compatible with the Islamic Revolution and the nature of Brinton's theory, although it has been considered natural in many revolutions (France, Russia, England and America), is incompatible with the Islamic Revolution and its cause is not reaction; rather, it lies in the progressive nature of the Islamic Revolution and the innate approach (justice, independence, freedom) of the revolution and the system that emerged from it. As a result, a serious warning to emphasis and adherence to revolutionary values will prevent Thermidor. |
