- W2339750641 abstract "The article discusses the Arab revolution’s development after a year of its inception, the causes for the success of political Islam in the elections, their alliance with the reactionary ruling comprador class and the American led capitalist system and the different possibilities for the future of different Arab countries, especially Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and Syria. Why the so-called “Arab spring”? The uprising of Arab peoples as of early 2011 (Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrein and Yemen, later Syria) was not unexpected, at least by many Arab left activists, if not by the Western powers. During the Bandung and Non-alignment period (1955-1970) the Arab countries were in the forefront of the struggles of the peoples, the nations and the States of the South for a better future and a less unequal global system. Algeria’s FLN and Boumedienne, Nasser’s Egypt, the Ba’ath regimes in Iraq and Syria, the South Yemen Republic, shared common characteristics. These were not “democratic” regimes according to the Western criteria (they were “one party” systems), nor even according to our criteria which implies positive empowerment of the peoples. But they were nevertheless legitimate in the eyes of their peoples, for their actual achievements: mass education, health and other public services, industrialization and guarantees for employment and upward social mobility, associated with independent initiatives and anti-imperialist postures. Therefore they were continuously fiercely fought by the western powers, in particular through repeated Israeli aggressions. These regimes achieved whatever they could in that frame within a short period, say 20 years, and then after that went out of steam, as a result of their internal limits and contradictions. This, coinciding with the breakdown of the Soviet power, facilitated the imperialist “neoliberal” offensive. The ruling circles, in order to remain in office, have chosen to retreat and submit to the demands of neoliberal globalization. The result was a rapid degradation of the social conditions; all that had been achieved in the era of the National Popular State to the benefit of the popular and middle classes were lost in a few years, poverty and mass unemployment being the normal result of the neoliberal policies pursued. This created the objective conditions for the revolts. It is curious to note that some of the most vocal supporters of the “democratic revolutions” calling the West to their rescue are some of the former leaders who enthusiastically supported the neoliberal alignment! The revolts were therefore not unexpected and many indicators suggested them, such as the Egyptian mass strikes of 2007/8, the growing resistance of small" @default.
