The contribution that this author makes is not a "how to" manual for Egyptian activists--that would be absurd--but his argument that the "opposition" winner (this is in dispute) in the contrived Egyptian electoral process, the Muslim Brotherhood, is in collusion with the military elite who are owners of Egyptian economic enterprises. What has happened in Egypt is basically the same fascist phenomenon that is occurring everywhere in advanced countries--the melding of economic and military/police power. It is only slightly different in that economic ownership in Egypt has directly developed within the military establishment.
He also argues that the Muslim Brotherhood only wants to become a part of the ruling class to share in the spoils of rule. That is precisely why they were allowed to participate in the phony electoral process.
