No. never. Assuming everyone are Arab is the first wrong thing to do.
Another problem is geography. Egypt, Palestine, Saudi arabia etc. they all have different dialects and geography struggles uniting everyone in one union would be the end for “Arab” people.
For example, Palestine, syria and Egypt can merge in to one state but Saudi Arabia can’t join that state due to irrelevance of geography.
Might that imply that pan-Arab parties are possible, though? Rather than unifying these different dialects and geographies under a single polity, form a federation of cooperation between national struggles. That’s sort of what pan-Latin parties are attempting, rather than recreating Gran Colombia they just want a unified political and economic bloc between equal partners.
There’s an Arab league for this but we need to question it how it really functioned. For example, Palestine. That league didn’t do a work something to stop the genocide in Palestine. Although, that league have a sub-imperialist countries like UAE and Saudis.
In a better organized union that states would turn into a trojan horses of the union to undermine the union.
We’re getting the same place again and again. Imperialism is the first contradiction to resolve in the third-world countries.
I wish a pan-Arab bloc existed but a geography that have so much oil, imperial states would everything to dissolve that union or invade.
Yeah, oil and gas basically make solidarity impossible.
I think that’s going to change if/when the world moves away from fossil fuels (and so the material basis for imperial extractivism erodes), but it might not be possible until then.
