This isn't the 18th century. The Arab people are not engaged in a struggle against feudalism but rather the organization of capitalism on an international scale.

Might as well point out the obvious... this is a pretty chauvinist assertion considering what France (and particularly republican France) has done to North Africa for the past two centuries.

This needs a double facepalm macro for that crappy bourgeois documentary, but I'll refrain from posting one since this thread isn't in chit-chat.

The Arab world right now isn't similar to 18th century France. Argument destroyed.

Oh, that is a lot of cant! Arabs can learn mightily from the French. A dictatorship of the proletariat can find its incarnation, embodiment or expression in the leadership of a single person whether Robespierre or Nasser. That person will have to utilize revolutionary terror in order to subdue the remnants of Mubarakism, whose secret police and torturers will slink off into the shadows long after the tyrant leaves to claim his 97 suitcases. Long live the revolution!

[Geiseric]

I would try to skip the revolutionary terror, since Robesspeire was going pretty nuts and killed basically anybody who had anything bad to say about him or the gov :/ and he eventually ended up at the guillotine himself. Can't there be a fucking revolution without an aura of paranoia?

Great. Pointing out the difference in centuries and modes of production is cant.

Proclaiming a {false} identity between Robespierre and Nasser is concrete revolutionary analysis.

Don't think I'll bother to unpack and settle down here, if you know what I mean.

Not so much capitalism as it is political corruption. That's what their current goal is.

Uneven and combined development, comrade, it applies as much to how a revolution develops as it does to the development of capitalism.

Funny, because I was think that the Caesarean Socialist ruler should evoke the national memory of Nasser while terrorizing (and then some) the bourgeoisie and comprador petit-bourgeoisie out of existence.
