    Huge parts of the “middle east” were invaded, occupied and colonized by the british - until not long ago. You can blame their social problems on islam only, just as much as you can blame south america’s ones in christianity only. You’ll be wrong on both.

    when I see islam, all I see is an unprogressive ideology. you’re completely misunderstanding it here. Islam isn’t a party, isn’t an ideology, it’s a religion, a huge one. Just as cristhianity persisted in the USSR, Cuba, and religions persist in China, they’ll be present, and relevant, in whatever country you want to establish socialism in. A country being majority-(religion) doesn’t make socialism unachievable.

      Oh, and yeah uh… when it comes to jewish people, the opinion of the average worker in the middle east might be influenced by murder-machine Israel being right beside them. It shouldn’t, government ≠ individuals, but let’s be realistic, it does.
