Morsi, SCAF, and the Revolutionary Left

Click here to access article by Hossam El-Hamalawy from Jadaliyya. 

This appears to me to be the best post-election analysis of the political situation that exists in Egypt.
The MBs are not a unified bloc. While the organization is in effect run and controlled by multi millionaires like Khairat el-Shatter, seeking compromise and reconciliation with the regime, their base cadres who hail from middle, lower middle and section of the working class are a different story. Across its history and with every twist and turn the Brotherhood were subject to splits.
It is clear from this article that the class war in Egypt is merely entering a new phase.
