👉 Socialist-nationalism in the context of Corrective Revolution (Syria)

The Corrective Revolution (Arabic: ثورة التصحيح, romanizedThawrat al-Tashih), also referred as the Corrective Movement (Arabic: الحركة التصحيحية, romanizedal-Ḥarakah at-Taṣḥīḥīyya), or the 1970 coup, was a bloodless military coup d'état led by General Hafez al-Assad on 13 November 1970 in Syria. Assad promised to sustain and improve the "nationalist socialist line" of the state and the Ba'ath Party. The Ba'ath party adopted an ideological revision, absolving itself of Salah Jadid's doctrine of exporting revolutions. The new doctrine placed emphasis on defeating Israel, by developing the Syrian military with the support of the Soviet Union.

Assad would rule Ba'athist Syria until his death in 2000, after which he was succeeded by his son Bashar al-Assad who in turn ruled until the collapse of his regime in December 2024.
