Lebanon will witness general parliamentary elections on June 7th. Many are claiming that these elections will be decisive on the direction of events in Lebanon and where it is heading.
In Lebanon, since the assassination of Prime Minister Harriri, the country was politically split into to major groups: March 8 which includes: Hizbulla, Amal movement and some small parties ranging from extreme left to religious extremists, and March 14 which includes: Harrir's party (Future Movement), the Progressive Socialist Party, and some ex-extreme rightists.
both groups were labeled as March 8 and March 14 due to the dates on which demonstrations were held.
March 8 consider themselves as "pro Syrian-Iranian" axis and accuse the others in being "pro-American" and March 14 consider themselves against any axis whether it was "Syrian-Irnanian" or "Saudi-Egyptian-US".
The problem is that the leftists in Lebanon are now split. There are ex-communists in M8 others are in M14. We lost position in the Lebanese political map. In a country deeply split into two factions we are almost extinct. Except few who still believe that we should create a "third wave", the rest have chosen to join either M8 or M14 for political gains in the coming future among which is the parlimentary elections.
The Lebanese Communist party is weak and those who left the party aren't doing alot to restore its glory.
The Leftist parties in the world should do something about this. We can't be left alone in the "Left".
