I'm glad that Mubarack was forced out by the people. However, I am a little concerned over a certain dynamic that seems to be developing.
It seems that the workers-student alliance realized their collective power. They have used this collective power to force out Mubarack, but who is replacing him? It seems that some may not realize that they had a collective enemy, not an individual enemy.
The enemy has installed a system wrought with deception, dirty tactics, selfishness, and determination. We often view the face of the system as important, but typically they are not, it's the system that holds the power, not the figurehead. Mubarack is one person, but the people who think like him and were successful in enforcing the system for 30 or so years are who they were yesterday, and they are still there.
I feel that the people that form the system may have seen Mubarack as a liability and decided to toss him under the bus in order to preserve themselves. If it is the case that the struggle stops here, then to quote D-Moe, "only the players change, the game stays the same".
So, I hope that it is not the case and I hope that the workers-students continue to ally and secure a revolution and not just a reshuffling.
