Lessons from the Arab Spring
Channel: Hossam el-Hamalawy
Date: 01/05/2020

Part of an online talk I gave, organized by Marx21, on lessons from the first wave of Arab revolutions. I discussed five points: 
- Revolution is a process. 
- You cannot take over the state institutions. You have to smash them. 
- The need for a revolutionary organization. 
- The Question of Islamism. 
- The street, ballot box, and the need to confront ultra-leftism.
