Equality in dignity is the essence of the cultural institution of a new politics in the Arab world

The West spoke of exporting democracy, especially to Iraq and Afghanistan, in the language of arrogance and arrogance, but on the ground it supported all the results that were in its interest and supported what was in line with his prejudices. He really wants “Cinderella democracy” in the Middle East, and there is no doubt that there are those who refuse to say that social and political norms have been exhausted, and emphasize that only democracy, as the colonial West sees it, it is the correct political system, at a time when the Western recipe for democracy has created temporary dictators. They are no better than the original dictators. The peoples of the Middle East know this, despise and condemn such behavior, and perhaps it is largely a matter of perception, but it is also a fundamental question, which has greatly undermined the credibility of the West in the eyes of the Arab peoples.
The same refusal, regarding the acceptance and protection of democratic paths, was recently renewed with the observed stance of the West towards the military coup against the government of the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Suddenly, “elections are no longer the basis of democracy and its purpose in the mouths of Westerners,” according to Michael Andrew. Muslims in the Middle East and beyond this confusion “with a mixture of contempt, contempt and acceptance of the status quo”.
The ruling elites in Arab countries are weak and defeated and most political systems have turned into real obstacles in the process of change and reform, and still cling to slogans and illusions. And if the oppression and violence of authority is the least of what some regimes can offer to break the people’s will for liberation, then with this action they continue to accumulate the objective conditions for their fall. And what is forming from a revolutionary scene in the Arab political space is the beginning of a real march towards change on the way to get rid of political tyranny and the destructive effects of authoritarian regimes.

The rebellious peoples will not return to them, nor will they deviate from the demand for freedom and dignity. As for the justification for the continuation of authoritarian regimes in the region under the pretext of external threats, the logic of conspiratorial enemies and the reference to the Israeli threat and national security, these are factors that fail to explain the survival of authoritarianism and its desperation. in clinging to its positions on whether these regimes were close to or actually involved in the regional conflict or not. Such justifications no longer deceive anyone, and everyone considers them simply a continuation of previous justifications such as “either us or chaos” and “either tyranny or foreign interference”. Everyone realizes that sick political bodies, in more than one Arab country, have abused power, absent a recognized public morality and aggravated the corruption of the bureaucracy, which has become a “power without political identity” that clearly expresses the organization. irrational of social life. When the state turns into a despotic power, the question is resolved by the will of the masses. It is not possible to bet much on the role of the coercive security services and their desire to defend the regime which exists alongside the media of the authority, and which hinges on access to the regime’s intelligentsia. And if it is the collective factor that explains his survival and his resistance to attempts at reform and demands for change, then his downfall will inevitably come, and staying in power like this is not eternal, no matter how long the regimes of oppression and tyranny The Arab masses have challenged the security machine of oppression that protects the regime, and the voices of millions have echoed more than once in the liberation squares and public squares. The slogans of social justice, human dignity and a break with the domination of the gangs of looters of popular wealth were the core of the movements and their fundamental motivations. They were inspired by the hope of change and the decline of authoritarianism, breaking the bonds of political backwardness and the upheaval of the Arab situation. Popular movements have revealed similar regimes that suppress public freedoms and ignore human rights. It has established a class, social and political polarization between a group that monopolizes power and possesses wealth and impoverished, isolated and marginalized classes, which are not addressed until during the period of the electoral campaign, and the sympathy to obtain votes, even though the entire electoral process is formal and unfair in most Arab circles.
Equality in dignity is the essence of the cultural institution of a new politics, and so on is the absence of the condition of free coexistence, which is corrupted by the artificial forms of differences of a legal and political nature. It is impossible to imagine the sovereignty of a state that ignores the value of the individual citizen. The obstacle of the mentality that tends towards global authoritarianism is what hinders the project of a true citizenship, and the inherited tyrannical nature increases the rupture between the state and society, and therefore the trust of the people in the rulers decreases, the legitimacy it erodes and the government’s chances of survival diminish and the issue leads to democratic retention, leaving cases of confusion present. At any moment, it is the most dangerous situation within the dynamics of people’s lives, who are not comfortable with their present and future. It is a reprehensible realism that sends signals of rejection towards prejudice and the absence of reform and modernization projects. On the other hand, unless individuals in their society negotiate on the basis of a social activity that entitles them to political presence and the enrichment of social space, the proposals for democracy and political freedom become mere slogans without meaning. A representative authority can be brought to the fore, which in reality does not have a decision, and the logic of the loss of participatory governance continues. This is why some emphasize the need to establish a democracy of control, which would free society from the hegemony of direct democracy, in case it hides general concepts that serve the individual in power and obey everyone according to his choices.
Ultimately, effective democracy requires stable states, in which growth rates are high, their economies and education systems develop, the power in them rotates, and within which the bargaining discourse rises to its political levels. and social. Democratic culture remains essential to the democratic transition process and the main pillar for the fight against terrorism. In the absence of legitimate governments that believe in these paths, ensure their continuity, dig their foundations, provide political stability and achieve economic development and social justice, the phenomenon of terrorism or other impurities of deviation and extremism will not end. When you vote for dubious parties, you are actually voting for dubious policies. Application with empty minds gets lost in obscurity and knowledge if it does not vary with your breath is unreliable.
