The Center for Socialist Studies has launched its new website. We hope this will be a qualitative shift in the media work of the radical left in the country and the region.
The site is still in beta format, in need of tweaks. We’ll be uploading tons of material in the coming few weeks. So stay tuned.
Make sure you follow the eSocialists Twitter account for updates in Arabic about protests and industrial actions. Updates in English will be available on my Twitter.
True, the Egyptian liberal bourgeoisie cannot bring about democratization, because their interests are still tied into the current Mubarak aristocracy even when they appear at odds, and more importantly any real confrontation with the regime will entail the mobilization of the mass of workers and poor in our society, whose interests conflict with that liberal bourgeoisie. The latter will always remain coward, and opting for “smooth” gradual change.
Hence we cannot put any hopes on such corrupt self-described liberal bourgeoisie. Our coming Egyptian revolution has to depend on other social forces. The revolution has to be permanent.
Socialism, not Zionism, was once the dominant political force among European Jews. It’s time to reclaim that tradition, writes Dan Mayer.
