一名希臘裔美國政治學家和中東歷史學家帕納約蒂斯·傑拉西莫夫·瓦蒂基奧蒂斯（Panayiotis Jerasimof Vatikiotis，1928年2月5日至1997年12月15日）在他的一本著作《納賽爾和他的一代》（Nasser and his Generation，1978）中，他認為納賽爾主義是一個因領袖崇拜而興起的意識形態[19]，之所以能夠受到推崇，完全是領袖的「魅力」而不是他的「領導力」。瓦蒂基奧蒂斯詳細描述了納賽爾利用言論作為政治工具來影響他的選民，雖然他們被剝奪了對其領導人政策的任何參與權，但他們依舊支持著納賽爾。同時也指出，納賽爾透過廣播、電視和大型集會上向群眾發表講話，內容多為反帝國主義與反錫安主義，這在當時觸動了埃及人民的想法，激進且慷慨的演講，也讓人民被激發到歇斯底里。[19][20]

Some of these generals 「thickened」 their populism with nationalism and transnationalism.
