eventually they will run out of opponents with such a large security apparatus
You'll always have a younger generation of people to extract labor-value from, and that younger generation will always begin as dissatisfied with their lot. This is the "Perpetual Revolution" leftists say they pine for. But, in truth, it is simply a cycle through which the bourgeoise children inherit and improve the security apparatuses of their parents.
Look to France for this cycle on full display. The people are always rebelling and the Bourbons are always coming back in again to quell and subjugate their lessers.
the movements in the middle east are pretty complex, a lot of them did used to be socialist or left adjacent but some of it was due to material backing from socialist countries.
The Middle East is a... ahem land of contrasts. And while they're certainly not unfamiliar with socialist or leftist revolts, they also play host to significantly sized counter-revolutionary institutions and enclaves, from which the next generation of security state enforcement is sourced.
