    I wrote a long reply but it got deleted when i changed tab on accident.

    Anyway short version about how people should learn about how the founding of Islam was basically a revolution of the proletariat and subaltern against slave owning land owning classes of the Quraish.

    How Islam was appealing because it guaranteed rights to people to the people who were slaves and protected women from horrible mistreatment of the time and forcibly redistributed wealth to the masses from the wealthy.

    how Ali (as) and Hassan (as) and Hussein (as) were killed because they fought against revisionist capitalists who wanted to undo the gains of the revolution. And how this is necessary to understand the role of why for instance Sayed Abdul-Malik al Houthi announced the mobilization to reunify Yemen on the day of Ashura.

    Abu Dharr was talking about capital accumulation over a thousand years before Marx!

    One cannot understand the resistance without understanding Karbala and one cannot understand Karbala without understanding at least a little basics of early Islamic History.

    Maybe with the terminology above, this can be legible to the marxists.
