Reality: "But during this period the party suffered internal divisions and defections, and since then party unity has been elusive. In 1987 there were at least four separate factions claiming to be the authentic inheritors of Saadah's ideology. The two most important were led by Issam Mahayri, a Sunni, and Jubran Jurayj, a Christian. Each faction was trying to settle disputes by means of violence".

Poetry: This is old news. Please update your sources.

Mr. FAK, here's what an SSN wrote, Mr. N. C., don't have to update my sources, look in your own backyard on this forum"... As for which faction of the SSNP I follow, ... in good faith, I will tell you. I happen to be with George Abd El-Massih, whom, you should know, never got involved in the war and never formed political alliances with the SAR..."

Reality: "During the 1958 disturbances, the SSNP militia supported President Shamun, who rewarded it by authorizing it to operate legally"

Big Liar: "During the 1958 disturbances, the SSNP party did not side with anybody. It was only involved in combats where its existence was jeopardized. SELF DEFENSE!

Greek Orthodox, always, to date, are trying in vain to topple the Maronites politically. Try harder!

Reality: "In prison, the party underwent serious ideological reform when certain Marxist and pan-Arab concepts were introduced into the party's formerly right-wing doctrine."

Don't put your head in sand: Some SSNP members did present ideas that were close to socialism (On the economic level only). SOME OF THESE PEOPLE LATER LEFT THE PARTY!

Finally! They passed Philosophy "école secondaire" and realized the days of Al Muttanabbi, wal buka'a 3alal Atlal are gone! They woke up to the hard reality that the Society's daily engine is not about matching "Skulls" and theoretical anthropology but about Socio-Economics.

PS FAK: Socialism is about economics dude! I like your attribute (at the economic level!)

Pragmatism: "Since the 1960s, the party has become more leftist"

Ultimate Poetry: We don't feel the need to label such an ideology with terms that are not genuine to our people and to our socio-political history.

To be Continued...
