Tunisia: A New Uprising

We need to remember a decade-long song sung by Western and non-Western media, academics and pundits:

“Transitional justice”, “transitional justice”, “transitional justice”, ad nauseam. 

As long the ‘revolution’ is not about material equality that threatens class interests at home and the major powers and international institutions interests and domination, is championed and “human rights” and “democracy” are the catch words that must prevail in the same way ‘Arab Spring’ phrase has prevailed. And we can talk about development everyday as long as it is the type of ‘development’ dictated by the same socio-economic system and the same ideology.

 A return to the police state?
