As the Allied military forces approached cities occupied by one of the Axis powers in World War II, those cities' workers launched uprisings to take the anti-occupation struggle into their own hands. Which meant that when the Allies entered the cities they found independent forces unwilling to trade one occupier for another. Unfortunately in each case the Stalinists who had usurped leadership of those uprisings betrayed them. I think we will see a similar dynamic beginning in Syria, that as the Assad regime weakens, the workers of its cities will rise up to drive out all tyrants and imperialist occupiers. Which means we have our work cut out for us to organize solidarity with the grassroots forces who have stayed steadfast against Assad for six years, and who have proven over and over again their desire and capability to run their country themselves. Victory to the FSA! Drop the anti-revolution arms embargo! _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
