Arab Socialists

Arab Socialists advocate for socialist principles within the context of Arab culture and society. They seek to address economic inequality and promote social justice while emphasizing Arab nationalism. This political ideology emerged in the 20th century, largely influenced by the desire for independence from colonial powers and the need for societal reform in Arab countries. Arab Socialists often support state ownership of key industries, comprehensive social welfare programs, and economic planning to improve living standards. Prominent figures include Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, who combined socialist policies with a focus on pan-Arab unity.
