Ba'athist ideology

Ba'athist ideology promotes Arab unity, socialism, and anti-imperialism, emphasizing the importance of a unified Arab identity across nations. It advocates for a strong, centralized state with socialist economic policies and seeks to reduce foreign influence. Originating in the mid-20th century, it combines Arab nationalism with socialist principles, aiming to modernize society, promote social justice, and foster self-reliance. While inspiring unity among Arab peoples, it has also been associated with authoritarian governance and suppression of political dissent.
