Nasserism, in order to assert itself and a new political and economic standard, was obliged to lean on the United States' sole adversary, the USSR, as Europe had withdrawn and lined up with the United States.

 Naharnet Newsdesk - Ghassan Tueni Conducts an Anatomy of Nasserism
The writer takes the Nasserite revolution to reckoning from the angle of the 1967 six-day war debacle, when Nasser went live on the air on June 9 to announce his resignation for his battlefield defeat at Israel's hands.
He reasoned that the intelligence apparatus rushed to maintain Nasser in office to avoid accountability for its failure to carry out its duty in preparing for the war by assessing the enemy's might and how to go about confronting it.
In a nutshell, Tueni went on, it should be noted on the 50th anniversary celebrations that Nasserism had mothered the "intelligence regime that built its survivability at the expense of human and public freedoms."

Veiling (which had declined during Nasserism and egalitarian, socialist reform) began to increase in the 1980s; however, most scholars note that this "veiling" is a protest to westernization and capitalist imperialism.

 IranianVoice.org - Confronting the New Nasser in Iran
In responding to this new Nasser, the international community might recall the original Nasser’s ability to turn military defeat into political victory in 1956, as well as Nasser’s rhetorical excesses that led to his humiliating defeat in 1967.
What made the original Nasser so threatening to the West and to the region was his transnational appeal.
This new Nasser should be of deep concern to Europeans as Europe’s problems in integrating its 20 million Muslims have not escaped Ahmadinejad’s attention.

He fostered Islamic fundamentalism to counter remnants of Nasserism after he took over in 1970 and ended up being assassinated by Islamic fundamentalists in 1981.

You know, some mention of the fact that the US is the largest supporter of the Egypt (country of the failed Nasserism) might be in order here.

Israel's pulverizing defeat of the Arab armies dethroned Nasserism, the romantic pan-Arab dictatorial nationalism that had infected much of the Arab world, particularly its intelligentsia, during the 1950s and '60s.
With the collapse of Nasserism, the overtly secular socialist-cum-fascist age in the Middle East closed--except in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Its spirit would soon die there, too, a victim of Saddam's long and disastrous war against Iran (1980-88), which encouraged the Butcher of Baghdad to emblazon "God is Great" upon the Iraqi flag.

 EXCERPT: Syria: Islam, Arab Nationalism and the Military
Additionally, when compared to other rival ideologies such as those of the Baath party or the Arab nationalist movement, political Islam paled in the richness of its thought and its originality.
A derivative of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, Syrian Islamist thinking was often burdened with the legacy of that movement, particularly in its confrontation with Nasserism.
Rather than draw some benefits from its association with the Arab world’s most illustrious and oldest Islamist movement, Syrian Islamic organizations were tainted with the failure of their ideological forebears.

Both monarchies sought to distance themselves from the nationalist and political forces tearing apart the region.
The Jordanian monarchy was successful, skillfully navigated through the Nasserism of the 50s and 60s, Palestinian terrorism of the 70s, and five decades of Arab-Israeli conflict.
In the heady days of Nasserism, the Iraqis masses were not entirely upset that the monarchy had ended, but the violent death of the young king engendered great sympathy.
