Conflict and competition for power construction in revolutionary systems are inevitable, but presenting an accurate and documented narrative of this process is vital to prevent distortion, transformation, and transmission of the revolutionary identity to subsequent generations. Now the fundamental question is: what are the macro narratives of power construction in the first decade of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and what is the correct narrative? This article, in response to this, uses a descriptive-analytical method to conduct a multi-level analysis of the two macro-narratives of the secular discourse and the Islamic Revolution in five axes (nature and origin, ideology and discourse, approach and method, motivation and goal, and social base) and attempts to compare and contrast them in the light of documentary evidence. The secular discourse of the revolution has considered the result of equal participation of political movements that were eliminated by the populist tactics and mass mobilization of the Islamic fundamentalist movement; but the discourse of the Islamic revolution believes that despite the theoretical contradiction and practical confrontation and the opportunity for free competition for power, they were eliminated by the people's choice. |
