The linchpin of capitalism? It is not, Hossam. And ‘the’ not even ‘a’ linchpin? That demolished the Marxist analysis of capitalism.
It is a tool, an instrument of the capitalist state. Previous states had similar tools of class repression.
The private ownership of the means of production and the generating profit /surplus value is the linchpin of capitalism.

How did you compleyely ignore the middle class. After all Kifaayah was led by middle class individuals.
Whether in Ehypt 2011 or Chile 1973, the middle class is crucial in radicalising, initiating a revolutionary pricess or joins the counter-revolution. It can split in its relation to the working class.
I invite you to enrich your approach by exploring the sociological work of Göran Therborn.

It may also be a good way to have a public backup of your writing. A lot of the the journalists I follow had their writings disappear from the web when the media outlets changed hands or redesigned their websites (or ignore the web and move to silos run by genocide-supporting Meta & hateful billionaires).
