Hizbullah against the poor

Some progressives in the West don't know about Hizbullah.  They think that Hizbullah--because it so effectively fights against Israeli occupation and aggression--must be a progressive party.  Far from that. Hizbullah is a right-wing party and in the government it has championed neo-liberal policies and its MPs in the parliamentary session yesterday were enthusiastic for liberalization of the market.  The former Hizbullah minister of Electric Energy, Muhammad Fnaysh, proposed a privatization plan for the sector that won approval from Hariri.  And when Marxist Minister, Sharbil Nahhas, fought for the right of workers and the poor, Hizbullah was on the side of the capitalists in Lebanon.
