There is just no way to get around the fact that we have to deal with the global corporate feudal system.
This cannot be resolved in one dramatic blow, it will take time, and corporate power will have to be chopped away piece by piece.
An Islamist political party that campaigns on a platform to enact a Shari’ah constitution, promising cancellation of debt obligations accrued by former dictators, promising re-negotiation of all existing contracts with international firms (including energy contracts), and promising to kick out the IMF, World Bank, the US Agency for International Development, and other predatory financial institutions…as the Muslim Brotherhood should have done…could potentially advance the cause of economic sovereignty if it came to power.
However, obviously, such a democratic process is unthinkable in Egypt today.
Furthermore, the example in Greece of the Syriza party, and their helpless capitulation to the demands of global capital, indicates that seizing positions in government simply cannot have the impact it once could.
No, jihad is indeed the solution.
But this jihad must necessarily be directed at the imperialist powers, the global owners of capital, multinational corporations and financial institutions. They must be targeted directly, not through their state proxies.
This, in my opinion, is the only way to push back their control of government; the only way for anything like political independence to ever be attained….anywhere.
