Masoud "Ahmadzadeh" Heravi^[2] (2 March 1945 – 4 December 1972) was a Iranian-born political theorist. Though often described as a Revolutionary Communist, his work mostly dealt with the grounds that Struggle is concerned with 'Strategy' and 'Tactics'. His work centered on the fact that defeat of Capitalism and Comprador Capitalism is possible by "Armed Struggle; both a Strategy and a Tactic".^[3] He left Mashhad in 1964 and he went to Tehran and studied Mathematics at the University of Tehran. His works deal with the nature of comprador Capitalism, and the subjects of politics, Guerrilla Warfare, monarchy, and dictatorship.^[4]

He was executed in prison for his political activities.^[5]
