Since more than 2 years, the counter-revolution in Egypt came in the form of the power sharing between 2 sectors of the state and the bourgeoisie. On one side, the muslim brotherhood, which stood for the spare wheel of the mercantile bourgeoisie and occidental states to prevent any social revolution, were running civil affairs. On the other side, the army, standing for the backbone of the egyptian state, kept a key position in egyptian economy, trhough monoopoles, but also in the political power structure.
