Arab Socialism is an authoritarian left, Arab nationalist, 
anti-imperialist, 
anti-Zionist, and socialist ideology. He supports leaders such as 
Saddam Hussein, 
Bashar Al Assad, and 
Gamal Abdul Nasser, 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.

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.

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.
