How come Marxist thought never sprouted in the Middle East or Muslim-majority countries?

How come Marxist thought never sprouted in the Middle East or Muslim-majority countries?

Marx perfectly outlined the argument for historical materialism, why has leftist thought only flourished in the West but not in these countries?

during the cold war the middle eastern governments were pretty cosy with the soviet union

it was only after the USA started deposing and imperialisming that it ended up how it is today

Because communism is a western creation. Besides europe, north and south america nobody else should build communism, they should instead follow their own paths.

Reported for being a faggot

this. fuck thirld world.

you really have no background in history right?

there have been multiple attempts of communism in the middle east, the most famous causing the afghanistan war in the 80s

Naw, fuck you whiny faggots.

It did. Iran, Palestine, Turkey/Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq have all had or still have strong Marxist political parties.

It did. Then CIA armed and trained the hardcore Islamists and nationalists to fight the commies. See how well it turned out.


Kill yourself

Because Muslims think everything remotely socialistic must be referred back to the Quran and whatever the caliphate did 1000 years ago.

Marx is too Jewish and Hegelian for them.

That doesn't make them Marxist though. Ba'athism is turd positionism, not communist.

One step at a time.

Lebanon too.

was surprised to find that the commanders of Al Nusra actually knew who Hegel was kek

...

That's probably all they know and its false

Have you never heard of Soviet Central Asia? Azerbaijan? Albania?

Palestine has the PFLP
Lebanon has a strong socialist movement
Iran had one before the US/UK started meddling, the Tudeh Party
Even Israel has communist MPs

OP.

Go to your nearest library, and pick up a book on the history of eurasia in the period ranging from 500 until the 1700s.

Read it.

Then come back and post something more intelligent.

Hamas is the bigger player in Palestine and Gaza, don't deny that.
true, that's admirable
they were also a monarchy before the meddling.
Under the Shah, Iran emulated everything from Western society except democracy,
True, but we're not going to see Israel turn left any time soon. PFLP opposes a two-state solution, while someone like the punk bully Netanyahu at least gives lip service to a two-state solution.

Israel supported and astro turfed Hamas in order to destroy credible Palestinian like the PFLP and the PLO.

Algeria too but our communist movement was robbed by multiple dictatorships and it never could flourish

READ
A
FUCKING
BOOK

...

Leftist movements have a habit of getting hijacked by Islamists or military dictatorships in the Arab world it seems.

I was more talking about the history of "progressive" thought in the ottoman empires, as opposed to the west, and the fact that marxism is a response to capitalism, something the middle east didnt have the right material conditions for to develop before europe did, hence why marxism and socialism originated in the west, and the rest of the world just adopted it because inventing the same thing over and over again is only something capitalists do due to copyright and patents.

Gaza yes, West Bank no.


Nope, look up Mosaddegh and the Western coup to stop him nationalising oil reserves

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'état

Yeah, it's like they never even bothered to read the Right Hegelians.

What? Why are you simply assuming OP's ignorance when it clearly was not their question?

OP is basically asking:
Because there was no reason to, it makes no sense to invent something for something that doesnt exist for you. And when its inventented its dumb to reinvent it.

Sorry if i sound a bit angry.

Not really. You just made that assumption based on the idea that anyone who isn't full leftist indoctrinated is a racist reactionary.

When Marxism itself is opposed to "backwards" religion, particularly the state-corporate-religion synthesis that is Political Islam.

The short answer is it did up until the 1970's, but the US, UK and others fucked it up and backed the Islamists, partnered with Wahhabist Saudis, creating the conditions for the current situation.

The history of Arabic and Islamic contributions to thought through the middle ages while the West remained "backwards" is a separate issue.

I just made the assumption most people should at least know elementary school history.

They're sitting on oil.
The Cold War happened.

Combine the two and you have your answer.

Reagan is legitimately one of the worst people of the 20th century. Cunt

b-but the Mujahideen groups in Afghanistan were inherently leftist, because they were anti-imperialist and defending themselves against the Soviets!

Which puts him in the running for one of the worst people of all time.

Is there a soul alive that makes that argument?

You're underestimating a person's ability to contort himself and the mental gymnastics they are able to perform.

I've known people to post it online. Whether they were being ironic or not is hard to say.

Yeah

MIM anyone?

kys

There's no such thing as Socialist Imperialism.

Because Muslims are literal morons, I saw this info graph on Holla Forums that had all the races, and their Autism Level, and they were near the bottom. That's probably why they're so religious also considering there's a direct correlation between religiosity and low Autism Level.

...

So when is mommy going to clean the steaming hot diarrhea out of your diaper you fucking faggot

isn't the islamic state a socialist state minus the atheism?

IS's economy could be a considered a mix of looting and feudalism. Considering generals etc have titles.

It is difficult to believe someone is this stupid

No, ISIS is fully automated luxury space communism.

what about the Islamic state of Iran?

Nationalist welfare republic with theocracy.

definitely
it's really sad

what's that?

Condensed autism

I think the stats you refer to are regarding the impact of prenatal/childhood malnutrition and generations of inbreeding (kissing cousins in particular).

The Maoist Internationalist Movement. Hyper-sectarian proto Maoist Third Worldists famous for insisting on spelling 'America' as 'AmeriKKKa' whenever they wrote it. During either the 2008 or 2012 election they wrote and endorsement of Osama bin Laden.

Don't forget 'persyn'

...

You kill yourself you dumb turd. You want to impose your views on non western countries?
Those countries have different cultures, different perspectives, you want them to force them communism? fuck you corrupt maggot.

...

...

t. i'm a generic dumb turd

say something interesting for a change. Fucking hell…

...

Stay spooked faggot.

How is it a strawman?

Communism is the only way. I come from a non western country and if one's "culture" cannot adapt to communism, it deserves to be eradicated.

It's not white man's burden, communism is not a white man's thing. And nigger, read Lenin, you don't know what imperialism means.

sounds like eurocentric imperialism to me

We already messed a lot on their affairs. Non western countries have the right to be wtvr they want to be. They should reject communism because it does not suit them at all. Especially on sub saharan Africa and Australia where the natives don't see progress and civilization as technological advancements and material possessions.
Fuck this western mentality that we know better. There is no race, there is no right or wrong path, there is no finish line.

Well, you see, the United $tate$ of Amerikkka has always oppressed the neo-afrikans and persyns of color of North Amerikkka and this is made more apparent by their daily attacks on wimmin, wymmin, wimmyn, and other non-men, so therefore first-worlders are imperialist shills who understand every facet of the system and want to genocide all non-white people.

antideutsche please go


WEW LAD


I love that art style, any more like it?

is there a name for it?

The only problem with the white man's burden was its frequent insincerity and compromise by spooks like religion.

I am eternally grateful for the advances given to my culture by conquering Romans and Persians.

There is nothing eurocentric about communism

b-but marx was a white male sinner

Its almost like there was some sort of cold war were america and the soviet union both funded groups and american won

Example of the third world wanting to chose communism themself
Latinamerica is pretty european
African americans have a western culture

cant forget the classics

I'd rather be surrounded by poltards than scum like you

PFLP? Mao? Angola? Anti-Apartheid? Rojava? come on son

...

There have. Notibily South Yemen (1967-90) and Afghanistan (1978-92)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Yemen
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Republic_of_Afghanistan

Somalia was the only Marxist-Leninist country with Islam as its state religion.

Communist movments have been active in other parts of the Middle East.

Probably one of the reasons why Marxism hasn't been as popular there is its association with atheism in a very religious part of the world.

How do you do that?

Kissinger. Kissinger is second only to Hitler.

whats you're point?

The Left wants to pretend that Algeria never existed. This is why you know nothing about it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_(Algeria)

National socialism spread throughout northern and eastern Africa during the 1950s and 1960s.

That communism is not "Eurocentric". Communists want to end domination of the world by any one power, race or continent.

cancer

except in many chases firstworldists says it isn't real communism becaue it dosen't fit their eurocentric worldview of what communism is

you stink and i hate you
REPORTED

You have a point, Marxists don't really follow Marx's writings, they only hitch their wagon to his name.

fucking snitch
