Palestine between permanent war and permanent revolution


Palestine between permanent war and permanent revolution

It has been over a decade since the Arab revolutions erupted across North Africa and West Asia, demonstrating that societies long perceived as stable can become centres of revolutionary power and resilience among working people. These upheavals shattered the bourgeois media's narrative of "Arab backwardness." Yet, despite these powerful movements, true victory and lasting liberation for the working class have remained elusive. Why have these movements for democratic change stagnated, and what is required to lead them toward victory, transcending democratic demands to embrace a socialist future? This discussion will explore these critical questions and the theory of permanent revolution.
