Why is the spirit of the September Revolution growing stronger?

Perhaps the indicator of the growth and diversity of the manifestations of the annual celebration of the September Revolution, which uprooted their priestly lineage, actually points to this fact. At a time when this growth is steadily increasing, while there is nothing that can be held back despite the increasing methods of intimidation of the celebrants (warnings, threats, arrests, kidnappings, etc.); this confirms to us that it is a deep rejection, stemming from a bitter experience that the convicts - those celebrating today - underwent in the heart of the red zones, forbidden to the republic.

And because they lacked the ability to practically reject the accomplished (armed) revolution, up until now, they resorted to activating symbolic manifestations of rejection by intensifying the celebration of the symbolism of the revolution, realizing that it represents a great revolutionary act in the popular imagination, as it is the objective equivalent, momentarily, to rejecting the policies and paths of the militias.

However, the increasing act of celebrating the symbolism of the revolution, in all parts of the country without exception, especially after the war reached the point of futility; is something that can be read calmly from the perspective of the revolutionary act itself; as it represents a rational, organized gradualism in the use of the available tools and means of peaceful struggle.

However, if we look objectively at the nature of this action and its spatial and temporal circumstances, then at the organizational level it is perhaps closer to being a mere spontaneous national behavior, based on the belief in the symbolic power of the September Revolution; until the reaction of the fearful militia came to strip it of its spontaneity, and to deliberately make it a fanatical revolutionary act intended to overthrow its fanatical sectarian kingdom.

In doing so, it has committed a fatal mistake, as it has transformed the course of the celebration of the revolution into a revolutionary course that is renewed in itself. This is when it has transferred the September Revolution from a collective national commonality, for the state and the people, to a mere popular revolutionary act, carried out by a revolutionary group of the people, against a ruling gang of militias.

According to Ibn Khaldun, the author of the famous saying: “Injustice is a harbinger of the destruction of civilization,” “partisanship,” which he considered responsible for the establishment and continuity of the state, is also the most prominent cause of its downfall and decline.

In the end, this is what happens on the ground: when it comes to a dynastic clan that came to restore its kingdom (lost by an immortal popular revolution), the mere celebration of the anniversary of this revolution is reflected in its mentality as an existential danger that threatens the continuity of the cohesion of its social clan, and thus the continuity of its survival.

What reinforces this and raises their fears even more is the increasing grandeur and brilliance of the September Revolution, successively, after more than six decades since the fall of their kingdom, and one decade of believing in regaining control over the soft part of the remains of their kingdom.

It is the eternal spirit of September, flowing today in the hearts of its children, the heirs of Al-Zubairi, Abdul-Mughni, Al-Thulaia, Jamal Jamil, Al-Qardaei, Al-Alafi, Al-Laqia, Mohsen Al-Hindwana, etc.
