The Saudis are quickly leaving their fundamentalism behind with the new Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

It reminds me of the way China left communism behind and adopted capitalism after the death of Mao and the coming to power of Deng Xiaoping.

I think they’ll do quite well. They could even join forces with Israel against more fundamentalist Iran.

Deng was arrested twice by Mao during the Cultural Revolution.
He was stripped of all his positions and publicly humiliated.
They sent him to a tractor factory for manual labor.
Politics can be funny even in communist countries.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a failure already with the collapse of his pet project: NOEM and The Line.
