ALLIANCE 51
PAN-ARABIC - OR PAN-ISLAMIC
"SOCIALISM"
When we published Alliance 30 - on Zionism and Judaism
(GO TO: Alliance
30), we committed to also publishing a Marxist-Leninist analysis of
Islamic movements. However in particular the imperialist attacks on Kosova
and Serbia dictated our publishing schedules.
The recent imperialist
war on Afghanistan, and the likely forthcoming imperialist war on Iraq
- forces us back to this topic.
We have already printed our view of the World Trade
Center bombing (GO TO: Alliance
44) and a condemnation of the imperialist Afghanistan War (GO TO: Call
and Alliance
45) .
We here publish several materials. The link in these
various articles is the revolution in under-developed (colonial and semi-colonial)
countries of the "Middle East"; the Pan-Islamic movements and how Marxist-Leninists
have dealt with them.
In an Appendix (as it is tangential but of related
interest) we also give a short description of the scattered writings of
Marx and Engels on Islam.
We suggest that this issue is best read in conjunction
with Alliance 25: On the Distortion of the Colonial revolution by Khruschevite
revisionism; at Alliance
25.
