== Beliefs ==
Arab Socialism believes in a [[File:Leftnat.png]] left-wing nationalist republic with a [[File:Statecap.png]] state capitalist economy, which is the idea that industries should be nationalized, which similar to Socialism, but not fully socialist.Most variants of Arab Socialism are [[File:Strato-Antifurry.png]] [[Stratocracy|stratocratic]] and and [[File:LeftAntiCom.png]] oppose Marxism-Leninism, as they want to preserve some aspects of private property. Arab Socialism supports farmer cooperatives and welfare.

'''Nasserism''' is the ideology of [[File:Nasser2.png]] Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was the second president of Egypt, serving from 1954 until 1970.

====Economic Policy====
Nasser's economic policy regime could be best described as [[File:Statecap.png]] [[State Capitalism|state capitalist]] with a highly generous [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|welfare state]].

As president, Nasser pushed for the nationalization of key industries, including those under considerable foreign influence (especially the [[File:Cball-UK.png]] British and [[File:Cball-France.png]] French)—such as "banks, hotels, insurance companies, importing companies and even the media"—and natural resources.<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326507002_The_Outstanding_Economic_Developments_in_Nasser's_Era_and_Their_Impact_on_the_Egyptian_People The Outstanding Economic Developments in Nasser's Era and Their Impact on the Egyptian People], ''Research Gate''</ref> At least ninety percent of workers were employed in the public sector.<ref>[https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft0f59n74g&chunk.id=d0e2666&toc.id=&brand=ucpress The Macro Context:
The Making of Egypt's Modern Economy], ''UC Press E-Books Collection, 1982-2004''</ref> While the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which in practice were [[File:Corp.png]] [[Corporatocracy|joint-stock companies where the majority of assets were owned by the State]], preserved the profit motive, Nasser also mandated that [[File:WPD.png]] [[Socialism|nearly one-third of the board of directors had to be elected by workers]].<ref>[https://countrystudies.us/egypt/34.htm Nasser and Arab Socialism], ''Country Studies''</ref>

It should be noted that two-thirds of the Egyptian economy remained in private hands: [[File:Distributist.png]] [[Distributism|Mostly small-medium enterprises.]]<ref>[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780312286835/page/138/mode/1up?q=private Nasser: The Last Arab] by Saïd K. Aburish</ref> Nasser made many members of the [[File:Cap.png]] national bourgeoise key allies of his regime; he absorbed them into SOE management and suppressed [[File:SyndieSam.png]] union opposition to them.<ref>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/163640 Labor, Capital, and the State in Nasserist Egypt, 1952-1961], ''JSTOR''</ref><ref>[https://www.socialismtoday.org/archive/147/nasser.html Nasser’s Egypt and Arab nationalism], ''Socialism Today''</ref> His land reform, though marketed as peasant-centric (and to some degree it did improve their lives through the promotion of [[File:AgCoop.png]] [[Agrarian Socialism|farmer cooperatives]]),<ref>[https://www.ide.go.jp/library/English/Publish/Periodicals/De/pdf/65_02_03.pdf "The Agricultural Co-Operative in Socialist Egypt"] by San-eki Nakaoka</ref> was seen as a step towards widespread unionization.<ref>[https://merip.org/1982/07/egypts-transition-under-nasser/ Egypt’s Transition under Nasser],''Middle East Research and Information Project''</ref> By the 1960s, Nasser began [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|deregulating the petit-bourgeois-dominated private sector]], [[File:NeoMerc.png]] [[Protectionism|subsidized exports]], and sought foreign investment in Egypt's capital goods.<ref>"The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square" by Steven A. Cook</ref>

Nasser also enacted several anti-poverty programs; including, though not limited to, universal healthcare, unemployment insurance, and old-age and disability pensions.<ref>[https://www.e-ir.info/2018/07/23/egypts-social-welfare-a-lifeline-for-the-people-or-the-ruling-regime/ Egypt’s Social Welfare: A Lifeline for the People or the Ruling Regime?], ''E-International Relations''</ref> Nasser sought to decommodify food through a comprehensive system of consumer cooperatives, although several food shortages were blamed on this system.<ref>[https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/41782 The Democratization of Well-Being in Nasser’s Egypt],''Jadaliyya''</ref> Despite such shortcomings, Nasser's social insurance schemes ensured minimal resistance to his policies and generally increased living standards for the average Egyptian. He also implemented [[File:Corptism.png]] [[Corporatism|corporate-based representation in the National Assembly]] (e.g., students, labor, and industry) so that economic policies are reflective of the various interest groups in society.

"Socialism gives workers and peasants their rights. Socialism gives opportunities to everyone. Socialism provides healthcare to everyone."

Arab Socialism is an authoritarian left, Arab nationalist, anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, and socialist ideology. He supports leaders such as Gamal Abdul Nasser, Bashar Al Assad, and to a lesser extent Saddam Hussein, and believes in Arab Unity. Unlike many other socialist ideologies, Arab Socialism rejects globalism and Communism. He believes in wealth redistribution, and the nationalization of some key industries, but does not want to abolish private property.

Beliefs

Arab Socialism believes in a left-wing nationalist republic with a state capitalist economy, which is the idea that industries should be nationalized, which similar to Socialism, but not fully socialist.Most variants of Arab Socialism are stratocratic and and oppose Marxism-Leninism, as they want to preserve some aspects of private property. Arab Socialism supports farmer cooperatives and welfare.

History

Egypt

Nasserism is the ideology of Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was the second president of Egypt, serving from 1954 until 1970.

Economic Policy

Nasser's economic policy regime could be best described as state capitalist with a highly generous welfare state.

As president, Nasser pushed for the nationalization of key industries, including those under considerable foreign influence (especially the British and French)—such as "banks, hotels, insurance companies, importing companies and even the media"—and natural resources.[2] At least ninety percent of workers were employed in the public sector.[3] While the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which in practice were joint-stock companies where the majority of assets were owned by the State, preserved the profit motive, Nasser also mandated that nearly one-third of the board of directors had to be elected by workers.[4]

It should be noted that two-thirds of the Egyptian economy remained in private hands: Mostly small-medium enterprises.[5] Nasser made many members of the national bourgeoise key allies of his regime; he absorbed them into SOE management and suppressed union opposition to them.[6][7] His land reform, though marketed as peasant-centric (and to some degree it did improve their lives through the promotion of farmer cooperatives),[8] was seen as a step towards widespread unionization.[9] By the 1960s, Nasser began deregulating the petit-bourgeois-dominated private sector, subsidized exports, and sought foreign investment in Egypt's capital goods.[10]

Nasser also enacted several anti-poverty programs; including, though not limited to, universal healthcare, unemployment insurance, and old-age and disability pensions.[11] Nasser sought to decommodify food through a comprehensive system of consumer cooperatives, although several food shortages were blamed on this system.[12] Despite such shortcomings, Nasser's social insurance schemes ensured minimal resistance to his policies and generally increased living standards for the average Egyptian. He also implemented corporate-based representation in the National Assembly (e.g., students, labor, and industry) so that economic policies are reflective of the various interest groups in society.

WIP

Algeria

The Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) is a former militia and Algerian political party. It was formed during the armed struggle for the independency of Algeria from French colonization. It ruled the country as a one-party state until 1988. It has also won every single election but its support has dwindled in recent years.
