Tunisia is the only functioning democracy in the aftermath of the so-called Arab spring and that's why I'm very happy see the struggle of Tunisian people to be recognized internationally like this.

Every political organization would be viewed as controversial esp. in a highly partisan atmosphere so I am not surprised to hear this from you even if it contradicts the sentiment I get from my Tunisian friends online today.

By the way, I'd take a politically ambitious organizations and NGOs over military-backed rule anytime of the day. So count your blessings and have some leniency or leeway for these organization as the other alternative would a military hellhole like Egypt (Egyptian here)

I have read the whole thing and I was really surprised that they didn't mention anything about individualism or non-authoritarian decentralized governance given the "libertarian" label in their name and unless I'm mistaken, they sound more collectivist-leaning than individualist-leaning and this is very troubling esp. for communists as they tend historically to favor heavy-handed measures to reach or realize their political goals even if it means to oppress and intimidate their opponents.

BTW: I'm a leftie myself but very skeptical of collectivists and statists whether on the right or the left.

I think that you should differentiate between state communism or statism in general and Anarcho-Marxism or Marxism in general

Since Muslim literalists quashed non literalists such as Mutazila back in the Middle Ages and Islam is in free fall at least from an intellectual point of view.
