If Nasser had been successful in his ambitions, would the world be a better place today?

What the hell is wrong with his face? At least this picture makes it seem his jaw is wider than his forehead.

There is no way on earth Arabs will ever be united, they are the most divided people on the planet, not a single Arab country is homogeneous because they are divided by clans/families e.t.c. Even if they unite and conquer the world, the second they finish they'll turn on each other.

Chicks dig wide jaws dude

Nigga look up his Union with Syria and how he fucked up and made them leave because he refused to share power

Nasser was your typical turd world strongman to which the bien pensant liberal clique fawned at. He was a faggot. Fuck him.

Could say the same for a Texan and a New Yorker, or for a Ukranian and a Kazakh

New Yorker and Texan are the exact same language and perfectly understand each other.

Iraqi and Moroccan Arabic are almost two different languages masquerading as one.

Ukranian and Kazakh are two different, wholly unrelated languages from different language families, you fucking dong.

to a point

/thread

>>strongly secularist, Muslims, Jews and Christians all have equal rights and equal religious freedoms

That's actually opposite to what Nasser did.

>The only way it works is with an iron fist like hussein did in iraq

Except it was Hussein who purged the ardent secularists and baathists and started the post-iran iraq war swerve towards Islamism.

You need to separate the ideals of Pan-Arabism/Arab Socialism that Nasser advocated for to gain popular support, and the reality of Nasser's rule and his attempts to unite the Arabs under one flag

Look at the 'United Arab Republic' with Syria - as points out, he had a tough time sharing power with the Syrians, causing unrest/disillusionment in that part of the republic and the eventual collapse of the whole plan

To 'control the world's oil flow', a Pan-Arab state would have to encompass the Gulf state. Considering their strong Western backing, and very tribal/monarchist disposition of its population, I doubt it would have done so. Much like Ba'athism or Arab Socialism never took off in the peninsula.
Instead, these states would continue in their support of Islamism to undermine the Pan-Arab state. Which would not be hard considering the popularity of Islamism among rural and poor populations - Ba'athism was a hip urban thing

The same could have been said about Europe, yet we have the European Union now.

Why did the UAR fail?

Cause Egyptians ran everything and this pissed off the Syrians

Nasser tried to impose socialism and centralization (in Egypt's favour) on Syria, which angered the business and military - the UAR fell because of a coup from within Syria

They managed to do it once before, no reason they can't do it again given the right conditions

Is this baito

Portuguese and French are the same language too

He seemed like a cool guy desu

Those conditions were an Islamic Caliphate

Africans are way more divided though

For example Nasser demanded that all Syrian political parties be dissolved, including the Ba'athists who had basically forced Egypt into accepting the UAR

I'm sure they said the same thing about Germans.

Germany had two bigass wars to burn the germanic niggers and mold them in to one nation

"African" has no cultural relevance

how can one look at his face and think he's not completely evil? Had he not been utterly destroyed in the most shameful military defeat since ever by the jews he'd have thrown them in the sea, only to form a failed pan-arab state who'd have been dissolved after 10 years like the uar did. fuck this evil failure

dude you stupid. that's like saying because India and Scotland were once part of the same empire they're going to form a confederacy anytime now.

Nasser is my favorite Arab leader too.
