The fact that so few people colluded in the fraud of exonerating El-Sisi for toppling democracy in Egypt, and re-branding him as a legitimate democratic civilian politician, is, of course, a hopeful thing. It denies the system that is managing El-Sisi the claim of a popular mandate, and that is important.
If you follow the ramifications of this, however, it becomes clear that the controlling power in Egypt is external to Egypt, and that any administration will, first and foremost, require the support of the external power system.
Ultimately, the low voter turnout only emphasizes the reality that a popular mandate is not a necessary requirement for managing the enslavement of Egypt to the global corporate empire.
We must understand from this, again, that democracy without sovereignty is meaningless, and that the struggle in Egypt is a struggle against imperialism, and a struggle against slavery. It is not a revolution against a domestic tyrant; it is a struggle for independence
