Deconstructing the Mummified in Ahmed Al-Daiyn's Article

It is no surprise that Ahmed Al-Deyyan writes about the dismantling of the Kuwaiti bourgeoisie, its reconstitution, and the strengthening of state capitalism; this has been his modus operandi since he locked his mind behind an unbreakable padlock, content to subsist on the crumbs of the tables of early followers of Karl Marx, who left nothing but bones on their platters.

Nor is it strange that Al-Deyyan falls into obscurity and contradiction in his article, hiding behind complex phrases at times, and shying away from political responsibility at others. This has been his habit since he timidly “struggled” and approached politics with trepidation.

What is peculiar about his tedious article, which goes so far as to ignore the movement of history, is that he employs terms like “bourgeoisie” and “class,” without uttering a single word about the proletariat and their tragedy.

The novelty in Al-Deyyan’s approach is that he places small and medium enterprise owners in the middle of the bourgeois hierarchy, while regarding the Federation of Industries and the Contractors’ Association as representatives of a weak bourgeoisie that resists the dominance of parasites.

Al-Deyyan forgot to inform us, in his article, of his own position within the Kuwaiti bourgeois hierarchy, given his role as “General Manager of a consulting office.”
