Nasserism Nasserism (Arabic: التيار الناصري‎ ‎ "at-Tayyār an-Nāṣṣarī") is a socialist Arab nationalist political ideology based on the thinking of Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of the two principal leaders of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and Egypt's second President. Spanning the domestic and international spheres, it combines elements of Arab socialism, republicanism, nationalism, anti-imperialism, Developing world solidarity, and international non-alignment. In the 1950s and 1960s, Nasserism was amongst the most potent political ideologies in the Arab world. This was especially true following the Suez Crisis of 1956 (known in Egypt as the "Tripartite Aggression"), the political outcome of which was seen as a validation of Nasserism, and a tremendous defeat for Western imperial powers.
