The failure of states in the Arab East is due to many factors, including the lack of understanding by Arab nationalists, such as Ba’athists and Nasserists, of their situation, problems, and ways to solve them, unlike European nationalists,Consequently, there was their resounding failure, which did not end with the failure of the homelands, but rather developed into the assassination of these homelands,The flaw was in the evaluation, analysis, practice, and finding a cure for the problems. In short, European nationalist thought succeeded in establishing states, and Arab nationalist thought, the Brotherhood ( muslim ), succeeded in the failure of states, Arab religious thought was germ-ridden fromMuslim birth, The Ba’ath fell on its own and was not brought down by others, and the situation of Nasserism is no different from that of Ba’athism.
They fell and brought down countries that were in the process of being established with them, In the fall, theMuslim Brotherhood played an important role equal to the role of the Arab nationalists, The first problem that forced everyone to take a position on it was the Ottoman Caliphate, which had to leave and disappear after the First World War, Here, the Islamists played the role of the fifth column defending the survival of the Ottoman Caliphate and the continuation of this Caliphate and the continuation of its occupation of the country (the concept of submission). Some Ottomanism is still present to this moment, While the nationalists wanted to get rid of the Ottomans and the Caliphate, a dispute occurred between them and the Brotherhood later, which ended with the victory of the Arab nationalists for a short period.
One of the points of divergence between religious Arab nationalism and European nationalism was the European struggle with religious thought, In Europe, secularism triumphed, and religion was separated from the state, The Muslim Brotherhood and Arab nationalists, however, merged religion with the state, In Europe, nationalist thought succeeded in addressing the citizen’s living conditions, implementing development projects, and consolidating democracy,Under the leadership of Arab nationalists and the Muslim Brotherhood, there was no attention paid to the citizen’s living conditions, and development occurred only in the realm of reproduction, which took on an exorbitant, “rabbit-like” form, for example, 3.2% in Syria, European nationalist thought understood the freedom of the nation as the sum of individual freedoms , Arab nationalist-Brotherhood thought understood the freedom of the nation as the sum of individual enslavement. For the liberation of Palestine, it was deemed necessary to abolish freedoms and obstruct any democratic initiative, They said, “It’s not the right time.” Now, the struggle for independence and the liberation of Palestine has become a permanent state of affairs For the sake of independence and Palestine, the oppression of the citizen has become a permanent condition, Elimination of enslavement has been achieved through enslavement, and the cause of the problem has become the cure, Because of this problem, the Arab nationalist and muslim Brotherhood did not understand that democracy and pluralism are a strength, not a weakness!
All the deceptive and cunning efforts were directed towards getting rid of colonialism and achieving independence, When the possibilities of deception regarding the independence of 1946 and regarding the independence of 1922 were exhausted, they invented a third and fourth independence, The year 1963 was the year of the third independence at the hands of Hafez al-Assad, the year 1970 was the year of the fourth independence at the hands of Hafez al-Assad, and the year 2000 was another year of independence at the hands of Bashar al-Assad,The series of “glorious” independences at the hands of those who called themselves the makers of modern Syria has not stopped since the end of the First World War.
The whole thing was a vulgar farce and a blatant lie, After every illusory independence, there was an additional real colonialism, and there were efforts by barbaric means to enable internal colonialism to establish its foothold and cling to power, Regarding independence, the Syrian people did not remain in the same place, but rather lost a part of real independence after every illusory independence, until the matter ended with the final destruction of the country, which is beyond repair or restoration.
There are matters related to women’s rights and human rights that the West has developed forward, while the East has developed backward,The same was true of foreign relations, especially with the West, which have deteriorated, The reasons for rejection and hostility towards the West a century ago are no different from those of this era, and nothing has changed in this regard.
The success of a concept is not only related to its abstract quality, but also to the form of its applications, The form of the applications is related to the party to which they are applied, The applications of European nationalist thought were in the hands of peoples more developed than the peoples of the East,In addition, European nationalist thought was a popular thought, while in the East it was an elitist thought, In Europe, there was no possibility of confusion from religious concepts, while confusion in the East was, and still is, at its maximum strength.
It is not true that the death of Arab nationalist thought was premature, for every thought has a role to play, and then another thought comes to replace it, This mechanism is not rooted in the atmosphere of Arab sanctities, Sanctities do not like new situations and even new people, The image that Arab presidents and leaders have presented and continue to present is very expressive of the Arab intellectual and behavioral situation, As long as the leader or president is still alive, there is no need for a new president or leader, and even the clinical death of the president does not exempt him from the tasks of serving the “beloved” homeland, and some presidents are still practicing their tasks in serving the dear homeland even from their graves.
