Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

On Sunday last week, Damascus fell to Salafi terrorists and other imperialist-aligned forces. Regardless of the flaws of the ousted government, this is a horrible situation for the Syrian proletariat as well as for the people of Palestine, Lebanon and others. We can only hope for the perseverance of the Syrian workers and the remaining anti-colonial resistance.

I hate how many Arabs are celebrating what's happening in Syria, and I'm not even talking about just Moroccans. This makes it hard to not want to just give up on them. It's like they haven't got a single clue, they just gobble up everything they're being told by media just like before. The Arabs are so weak that a completely different culture in Iran are spearheading their own resistance.

Why are Russia, China, the Taliban worthy of "critical support", but Rojava isn't? US trade with China amounts to a total of some $50-60 Billion a year. Russia sells uranium to the US.

What is Rojava's sin? Surviving with the help of the US. The US gave military equipment to the Soviet Union, too, when they were fighting Nazis. They were even allies for a while.

Rojava is AES in the Middle East. They are the only socialist entity in all of Middle East.

Tin-foil hat mode: This Rojava hate is not organic. I mean you had Trotskyists joining ISIS to fight against the US, maybe this hate comes from them? I dunno. I just know the hate is unreasonable and certainly not in proportion to the "crime".

Rojava served their US-requested role of suffocating Syria and paving the way for the fall of Assad regime and victory of HTS. Rojava's role was to hold the longest frontline with the fallen regime's forces, be a host for US military bases and a launchpad for US attacks on Syrian gov forces, and most importantly hoard Syria's most viral resources such as oil, wheat and drinking water (which also yields electric power).

When HTS launched their offensive, Rojava attacked Syrian government forces in Deir Ezzor, only to retreat a week later and hand it over to HTS.

Watch my words, the US will abandon Rojava in 2025 now that their job is done, and you will see that they were nothing but useful idiots for the empire.
