The Arab Spring was not "bad", it was just complicated. Egypt in particular had a lot of radlib "nonviolence" peeps that got sidelined fast after Mubarak fell because they had no party infrastructure and weren't really looking to build one. All the leftists in Egypt had already been killed or fled. The only viable alternative was the Muslim Brotherhood (right wing Muslim party), which the secular Egyptian Army (which also owns like 1/4 of the entire Egyptian economy) absolutely hate. Morsi won the Presidential election, the Brotherhood became the ruling party, and they were subsequently couped by the secular military that installed Mubarak 2.0 aka Sisi.
