Ba’athism

The name given to an Arab nationalist ideology that seeks to promote the creation of a unified Arab state through the leadership of a vanguard party over a progressive revolutionary government. It is a form of Arab socialism, a political ideology that combines the doctrines of socialism with Pan-Arabism. It has gained a lot of traction on the political side of the internet as a meme, resulting in terms such as “Ba’ased”, a portmanteau of the words “Based” and “Ba’ath”.
