Baath and Reviving Nazism in Syria

The madness series of Baath group (the last Baath) located in Syria is continuing. The last episode of this series, after recent outlawing of democracy in Syria, came with the Baath's decision that no business, store or any commercial activity, whatever its kind is, may name or register itself with a foreign name or trademark but Arabic.

This is not everything, also any previously registered business, store or any commercial or industrial activity with a foreign or non-Arabic name or trademark should change it, otherwise it would be fined and sanctioned with a series of punishments.

This entire Baath decree was intended to "enable Arabic language" (in an Arab country!) according to the Baath group, which is located in Syria decades ago to rule it, maybe for decades to come according to Sarkozy and their Israeli best friends besides the U.S. recently winning Democrats.

First of all, thanks heaven that there is just one last Baath remaining in the world that is this Baath inflicting Syria. This is for the world, but for Syrians, they daily pray to have three more cloned versions of Baath. The first one is to rule Israel; the second is for France to guide and assist Sarkozy; and the last one to substitute Democrats in ruling the United States, so Baath's best friends can taste and enjoy the living in the Baath paradise as we hope.

Back to our crazy Baath, which wanted to enable the Arabic language in a native Arab country more than 90% of its population have never learned language but Arabic, and cannot speak or understand any other language! This regime probably felt its ending expiration and just want any spark of hope or any survival way to take, or just want the people to suffer as it does.

At this point, I could not but to remember Bernard Lewis and his article 'Freedom and Justice in the Modern Middle East' appeared in Foreign Affairs magazine in 2005 from which I quote:

"It was at that time that the ideological foundations of what later became the Baath Party were laid, with the adaptation of Nazi ideas and methods to the Middle Eastern situation. The nascent party's ideology emphasized pan-Arabism, nationalism, and a form of socialism. The party was not officially founded until April 1947, but memoirs of the time and other sources show that the Nazi interlude is where it began".

"The leaders of the Baath Party easily switched from the Nazi model to the communist model, needing only minor adjustments. This was a party not in the Western sense of an organization built to win elections and votes. It was a party in the Nazi and Communist sense, part of the government apparatus particularly concerned with indoctrination, surveillance, and repression. The Baath Party in Syria and the separate Baath Party in Iraq continued to function along these lines".

After these excerpts, this non-understandable decree became, to some extent, understandable. The ending-expiration last Baath, returning to its basic foundations, thinks that reviving Arab Nazism and nationalism is a way of survival. I do not think so, but rather I think that exporting Baath to Israel, France and the United States is the only way of survival. So, before making Syria and its people a pariah with such Baath decrees, I advise and urge the last Baath of Syria to start packing.
