Has the Socialist Party succeeded in directing its humanitarian experience towards the marginalized of the South before unity?! (3-1)

There is no doubt that the Yemeni Socialist Party, during its progressive and revolutionary experience in the South before unity, played a tangible role in reducing the “immediate and somewhat limited” roots of the racist dilemma and confronting its heritage and historical legacy in the cultural and moral context of society. This was done through a set of procedures and executive measures that the party followed at that time within the framework of what could be called the affirmative action project devoted during its period of semi-settlement in the South in favor of raising the class level, the existential and human personality of the marginalized, which the party adopted to a degree that enabled thousands of marginalized youth…including me, of course, to obtain available and equal opportunities for life, development and education without exclusion or racial, ethnic or class discrimination… etc.
However, we can say that this experiment, as an advanced experiment “despite its unique modernist character”, was incomplete…and disastrously and frighteningly dysfunctional…given the absence of its purely legislative and legal character. Like everything that was applied in the humanitarian context during the decades of revolution during the Progressive Era, from the year of effective national independence in 1967 AD until the establishment of unity in May 1990 AD… and regardless of its effectiveness or not… was essentially governed by the purely revolutionary perceptions of the Yemeni Socialist Party… outside the context of the official state legislative frameworks of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen…so to speak. What caused it to lose (as a pioneering human experiment) was not only the characteristic of its supposed practical permanence and continuity… but also its capacity to achieve real, tangible, long-term achievements in terms of baptizing and advancing the general class life of the marginalized in the South with its living, economic and intellectual standards… where poverty remained as it was… a daily adjunct to their class life during most stages of the revolutionary process… and the same was also true in this which concerns their supposed class and ethnic capacity at that time to possess superior abilities. jobs. In a country where progress has remained very slow with regard to their so-called equal partnership in the various judicial, administrative, civil and military departments of the state… while they have continued to live in the same marginal and isolated style which prevails and is hallowed down to this time in the majority of their human gatherings during the years of the Progressive Era, crowded into their townships – and their primitive residential quarters, most of which consist of straw, mud and mud huts. worn rags covered in the worst social and climatic living conditions. Mediocrity and negligence…so to speak…etc
After that, the flame of human experience in the South would be completely extinguished with the first ideological setback that the party suffered… starting in the year 1989 AD, as a result of the policy of political and economic reform (perestroika) approved at that time by its Central Committee in its session held at the end of September 1989 AD.
Passing through the reckless and inconsiderate rush of the party and its senior leaders following the ill-fated and infamous Glasnost… towards the project of emotional unity in its structure… to a degree which led in the first place to the decline and dissolution of the political, ideological and revolutionary character of the Yemeni Socialist Party and to its complete extinction under the influence of the boring past values coming from the north with its odious dynastic, clan and tribal models… which to their tower all buried… An impact on the party’s humanitarian experiment in the south before unification… and in a way that not only undermined all our class hopes and aspirations, marginalized people, to achieve a human life… free… fair… safe… equal… etc.
As much as it contributed at the same time “as a civilizational setback” to send us back to the first square of slavery… deprived of the most basic conditions of political, class, legal and civil protection that the party guaranteed us before its dissolution in the northern swamp… which opened the way at the time at the beginning of the decline of the movement towards its progressive disavowal and in the light of the results of this merger too… to fulfill its moral, ideological and revolutionary obligations towards all the lower and marginalized social classes… led by the servant class of Yemen, who placed all their determination and hopes on themselves – that is, on the party – to regain their rights, their human identity and their alienated humanity… and to win their fair and equal place in society…
This was, of course, part of a never-ending series of deep and serious ideological and revolutionary failures from which we regularly suffered during most stages of progressive revolutionary work in the pre-unity South…which naturally led to the disintegration of the entire revolutionary process under the pressure of the growing class, dynastic, and tribal tensions at the heart of our feverish revolutionary and progressive project at that time…
