We never talk about the left in GCC countries. I remember the first time I met communists from Gulf countries. It was quite delightful. You may read about the Saudi Communist Party and the history of leftism and communism in GCC countries in `Abdun-Nabi `Ikri, "At-Tandhimat Al-Yasariyyah fi-l-Jazirah wa-l-Khalij Al-`Arabi."
