Anti-imperialist in essence, as elucidated via dialectical analysis (and dialectical logic) in Chapter Five, which is available online here <https://www.ebeefs.com/blog/2018/3/31/arab-spring-is-a-spring-of-lies> and here <https://www.pambazuka.org/human-security/arab-spring-lies>. Conceive of a very skillful cowhand taming a young mustang, essentially getting the beast to do her/his will. Roughly analogous to what happened in North Africa seven years ago. From the analysis in Chapter Five we know that the revolts were very predictable affairs. Those societies were tinders awaiting ignition. Imperialism triggered and then hijacked them. Not so unthinkable in a dialectical and concrete totality replete with, in fact defined by, contradiction. Because of false consciousness and the reified appearance of phenomena, we could not crack the mystical shell. I mulled over it for seven years but it was only after finally going back to my books and studying and applying the master's method meticulously like a devoted pupil that I was able to finally get at the rational kernel. All is revealed in the book. JS RKOB: >I am not sure if I understand what you say: do you suggest that the Arab >Spring was an anti-imperialist uprising instigated by US imperialism?
