path only to get the prize, and the prize was Palestine,
before anything else. When Nasser failed to deliver the
prize (i.e., Palestine), the ANM lost its faith in him and
in his system.
A series of conferences were held by the organizations
of the ANM in the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli War of 1967
to study and analyze the causes that led to the defeat of
the Arab armies. The end result of these conferences was a
complete divorce from Nasserism which was denounced by the
Arab Nationalists as "a petty bourgeois movement doomed to
42
failure”. Instead they called for a "new beginning"
which would transform the ANM from a petty bourgeois organiza-
tion into a Marxist-Leninist party.7?
Over the past four years, we have been witnessing
an attempt on the part of the left, which emerged as the
predominant force in the ANM, to integrate Marxism-Leninism
to the concrete conditions of the Arab World. The Popular
Front for the Liberaticn of Palestine (PFLP) and the Popular
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PDFLP),
both off-shoots of the ANM, are today vigorously upholding
the political formulas of the Communist parties without
losing their organizational independence. It remains to be
seen if Marxism-Leninism will serve them as a vehicle to
liberate Palestine.
