    To tell you the truth, I am unfamiliar with what is happening here. Are the capitalist media whitewashing another tyrant-in-the-making again?

    I am so uneducated about Syria. I see comrades on here condemn the rebel fighters but then I come across a tiktok of a Syrian woman I follow who is crying tears of joy at the coming collapse of the government. So I’m confused as to what is going on.

      I mean Syrians have had to endure 14 years of war. A perceivable end to said war must be an intensely emotional thing.

      That being said, the rebels are what westerners would normally call a terrorist group with links to Al Qaida/ISIS and whatever groups there are in the ME. If Libya is anything to go by, a stable but somewhat unpopular leader gets replaced by extremists and slavery gets reinstated. As long as there is no actual People’s movement from Syrians themselves, US proxy terrorists can take over the country and do whatever they want and the joy people feel will be short lived.

      I am not so educated about syria either, but afaik the rebels want to establish a theoratic-authoritarian state and US has invested on them. So the internet will have many things about the issue

      Sorry about the spam, my internet was bugging and ended up sending more than just one comment.
