IDEOLOGY Nasserism is a Revolutionary Arab Nationalist and Pan Arab ideology, combined with a vaguely defined Socialism ; often distinguished from Eastern Bloc or Western socialist thought by the label " Arab Socialism ". It is a Secular ideology, which led to conflict with the emerging Muslim radicalism, and argued for Modernization , Industrialization and the abolishment of traditional society. It was vehemently opposed to Colonialism , and argued extensively against Zionism in this context, perceiving Israel as a modern-day Western colony on Arab soil. In world politics, Nasser's Egypt played a major part in the Non-Aligned Movement . CRITICISM Nasserism operated in Egypt through a Totalitarian One-party System , and the mixture of dictatorial methods and Socialist -style Land Reform and other efforts to improve life for the poor, yet however opposing or ignoring Marxism and the concept of Class Struggle and fervent Nationalism , has prompted some opponents to compare it to Fascism . Some present-day Nasserists generally embrace Democracy , tend to stress the modernizing and secular strands of the ideology, and are generally more left-wing than Nasser himself. |
