There was no revolution on Egypt

The army has taken over not the people, though the assumption is that the army is on the side of the people this is not true, they are solely maintaining their position within the Egyptian state.
So why does the hysterical left scream "revolution in Egypt!"? For them revolution is solely a change of regime, leaving in tact the apparatus of the state.

typical comments from an english 'anarchist'. revolution hasn't finished by far. don't think people are stupid to not realise this. in the mean time, fuck off to which ever country has had your 'correct' type of revolution!!!

Very funny.

Who will tell the Egyptians they have won, that they have had their revolution? The Army, the western media, the liberals, the leftists and maybe some of the anarchists.

I am very aware that the people in Egypt who have been struggling so bravely for the past 3 weeks know that this is not over, that they need to keep fighting ( as is the case today with the workers strikes ).

Lets get this straight

Revolution is yet to happen in Egypt, they have one a first victory to kick Mubarek out, and replace one regime with another, the choice is that of the Egyptian working class no one else.

Anarchist is right - however the media wants to paint it, Egypt had a military coup on Friday and is currently under martial law (compounded by suspension of the constitution). Why are we celebrating martial law and military muscle? The army are part of the old/new regime. The revolution may yet still happen; there are plenty of people in Egypt who know this is the first step on a potentially long road and hence some of the protesters have hung on. For the present, we're supposed to be sidetracked by the whodunnit of "who stole the king tut statue?" (*yawn* - notice how that wasn't asked of the GI Joes who pillaged Iraq?) rather than who stole the millions and billions of Egyptian state assets over the years? I don't rule out a revolution in the (near) future, bring it on, but while the Egyptians say that they're not like Iraq (in 2003), somehow Indonesia under Suharto comes to mind... If this is a "revolution" (change of head of regime), then so was the 2010 general election in the UK.

Good luck to the Egyptian people!

not an anarchist

there will likely be fake coalition or business as usual to maintain the status quo, thats if theres even a election, beyond farce.

Come on, who actually assumes the army is on the side of the people? Not even the hysterical left! but this IS the beginning of revolution. It may still be defeated - but negative shit from anarchists (and others) declaring that it isn't a revolution isn't helpfull. Find sisterly/brotherly ways of supporting people - not the usual sectarian crap of your revolution/politics/line isn't the gospel truth!
