What actually happens to political dissidents under authoritarian regimes? In this powerful conversation, ex-Muslim commentator and YouTuber Ridvan Aydemir — better known online as Apostate Prophet — explains why the history of Iran’s Islamic Republic reveals a harsh reality that many Western commentators misunderstand.

Drawing on historical examples and political analysis, Aydemir argues that revolutionary regimes often turn on their earliest supporters. In the case of Iran, he explains, factions that initially supported the 1979 revolution later found themselves facing severe repression once the new political order consolidated power.

So how did this happen?

In this interview, Apostate Prophet explores how revolutionary movements can evolve once they take control of the state. He explains how ideological coalitions that appear united during moments of upheaval can fracture once power is established — and why political groups that once fought side by side sometimes end up in direct conflict.

Aydemir also discusses why he believes many observers in the West underestimate the historical complexities of Iran’s political system. While public debate often focuses on contemporary geopolitics, he argues that understanding the internal dynamics of the revolution and its aftermath is essential for making sense of the country’s modern political structure.

Having grown up in a Muslim background before becoming a critic of religious and political authority, Aydemir has built a large international audience through his YouTube channel, where he discusses religion, political ideology, and freedom of expression. Since launching his platform in 2017, he has become one of the most recognisable voices in the online ex-Muslim movement.

In this episode of Heretics, he travelled to London to discuss his views on political ideology, freedom of thought, and the lessons he believes history can offer when examining modern political movements.

The conversation raises important questions about how revolutionary politics unfold, why alliances formed during moments of upheaval can collapse, and how political systems change once power becomes concentrated.

Whether you agree with his analysis or strongly disagree, Apostate Prophet offers a perspective shaped by personal experience, historical research, and years of engagement with controversial topics that continue to spark debate around the world.

If you’re interested in history, ideology, and the complex relationship between politics and religion, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.
