As described before (see here and here) the continuation of dictatorships, dispossessions, and wars in the Arab regions of West Asia and North Africa have generated multiple rebellions. Currently, the strongest insurgency groups are aligned either with Al Qaeda or the Islamic State (IS) groups. Both originate from the conservative and purist Wahhabist tradition – a tradition sustained by the Saudi Monarchy. These groups have exploited the social catastrophe engulfing the region. While sounding radical, Al Qaeda and IS are enemies of the working class, routinely killing workers and destroying worker organisations (see here, here and here). Only by developing class based organisations can workers defeat terrorist groups and imperialist armies.
