My understanding of history is that the ME had significant influence by the Nazi version of socialism prior to WWII.
To what extent would that be possible given British and French control of the Middle East, and their rivalry with Nazi Germany? The Nazis firmly rejected socialism (culminating in the Night of the Long Knives) while Arab nationalists (nominally) embraced it. Arab nationalism drew upon Nazism no more than Gandhi did: the enemy (Germany) of my enemy (Britain) is my friend. Arab nationalism came about as a rejection of imperialism. First the Ottomans, then the Brits, and then the Israelis.
