The new movement had neither sufficient ideological
preparation before its foundation nor adequate time after
its foundation for theoretical study as it immediately plunged
itself into the organization of mass struggles. As such the
new Movement and‘its leadership have run into many’ difficulties
in their work, and have taken quite a few unnecessary detours.
In the first place, the founding leaders, under the pressure
of circumstances, hastely formulated a political program
divided into two phases. The first phase was that of the
political struggle which would eliminate Zionism and
imperialism from the Arab World and create a united Arab
state embracing the Arab people from the Persian Gulf to the
Atlantic Ocean. The second phase would be that of a socio-
economic struggle which would usher in "Arab socialism" and
35
democracy. This simplistic program failed to appease the
prevalent craving for an "Arab ideology", and demonstrated
the immaturity and weakness of the new movement . 2° The
Ba'thists among others were especially critical about having
the struggle divided into distinct phases one leading to the
other. They insisted that the political and social objectives
could not be achieved apart from each other, and as such the
fight should be carried at the same time on two fronts
externally, against Zionism and imperialism, and internally,
