Albaath , as an ideology in its both implmentation in syria and Iraq , eventhough it consider itself a socialist ideology (..) and had a sort of alliance with the socalist bloc ,.not because of its ideology but as a part of the post colonial third world countries ...
but it is more than obvious that in reality it have nothing to do with the socialism based on marxism ..
the main victims in both syria and iraq, lebanon and jordan were the communist to start with ..
Albaath is rather an ideological deformations , with lot of elements copied from the mussolini political fascism model , since from a class point of view , al Baath , like mussolini socialism , was allied with the bourgeois and industrialist class , in a form of corporatist economy ... and the collaboration that they had witht he socialist countries was mainly military and secret services know how .
while socialist marxist inspired systems both in its hard forms ( Marxist-leninist ) like in soviet union and eastern Bloc , north korea and cuba , and its soft form ( market socialism like in Jugoslavia , vietnam , china , and Czechoslovakia )never allies with any bourgeois but abolished all the social classes and socialised the entire economies and adopted socialism as a model of social , political and economical development.
Albaath is a deformed ideology and its a pseudi fascist one ,,its the main disgrace of those people and not because of israel ...
