Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Baathism is an Arab political ideology, based on the ideas of the Ba'ath Parties of Iraq and Syria. Baathism is a mixture of socialism, Stalinism, militarism, nationalism, and Pan-Arabism. Its mostly secular ideology is often contrasted against that of other Arab governments in the Middle East, which tend to have leanings towards Islamism and theocracy. This article is from Wikipedia.
