Work aimed at expanding the base of national wealth can never be left to the haphazard ways of exploitive private capital.
We do not believe in the necessity of class struggle … or in the supremacy of one class over the others. English translation
[SECOND DOCUMENT for Gamal Abdel Nasser, covering a DISTINCT axis (Arab socialism / economy) from his existing Suez-nationalization (anti-imperialism / foreign-policy) document. content_original is the official English translation of excerpts from his 1962 National Charter (الميثاق, presented 21 May 1962); the Charter was written in Arabic (original_language=ar). Source: the verbatim Charter excerpts as reproduced in A. Sadi's 1963 analysis on marxists.org; tier-2 (a third-party archive quoting the primary Charter text); confirmed verbatim against the fetched page. The "…" marks two separately-quoted halves of one Charter sentence (split by the article's interpolation). NOTE: the ICWA PDF of the full Charter was unusable for verbatim (pdftotext inserted intermittent intra-word spacing), so the cleanly-reproduced Sadi quotations were used instead.] A distinct declared position of Gamal Abdel Nasser — President of Egypt (1956–1970) — on ECONOMY and IDEOLOGY, from the National Charter, the founding programmatic text of his ARAB SOCIALISM. The Charter committed Egypt to a state-led, public-sector-dominant socialism — "work aimed at expanding the base of national wealth can never be left to the haphazard ways of exploitive private capital," and "the socialist solution is the only way out to economic and social progress" — implemented through sweeping nationalizations (banks, insurance, heavy industry) and agrarian reform. Crucially, Nasser defined a DISTINCTIVELY ARAB socialism that REJECTED Marxist class war: "We do not believe in the necessity of class struggle … or in the supremacy of one class over the others," opting instead for a peaceful, cross-class national socialism (with a regulated private sector retained "without exploitation") under the banner of "freedom, socialism, unity." This is the NASSERIST ARAB-SOCIALISM economic pole — anti-capitalist, state-led development and social justice, but non-Marxist, national and corporatist rather than class-based — distinct from his Suez-era anti-imperialist foreign-policy document, and a foundational reference for Arab-socialist economics across the region. [Axes: economy (state-led socialism; public ownership over "exploitive private capital"; nationalization; social justice; a regulated private sector), ideology (a non-Marxist "Arab socialism" rejecting class struggle; corporatist cross-class nationalism; "freedom, socialism, unity"), regime-economy (the public sector as the backbone of development; central planning), pan-Arabism (socialism as part of the Arab-nationalist project).]
