This article talked about Marxist revolution with the oppressive regimes that have been in power over middle eastern populations. It invoked the name "Arab Spring" as a symbol of the resistance and fight of the people against those in power that have denied the people in Syria, Egypt, and Libya as instances of this revolution.

In this article, there seemed to be some estimation that it was doomed to fail in the immediate future based on the extremists taking over the revolution and corrupting into just another bad force of power. Egypt was given as an example with the muslim brotherhood taking over the power and instilling another militaristic version of the past dictatorship. In fact, the military which was once considered hand in hand with the people who wanted freedom is now taking away rights in the name of stability. Really they are just the hand of a new collective dictator named the Islamic Brotherhood.
