"whatever became of the Syrian capitalist class established in the 1970s ?"
They rule Syria, of course, as ruling classes do. You might have noticed that they've spend the last decade waging a genocidal counterrevolutionary war against an uprising based overwhelmingly in the working class and semi-proletarian shanties around Damascus and Aleppo and in the poorer regional towns, those most hit by Assad junior's neo-liberal "reforms." The class divide in Syria was probably clearer than in any of the Artab Spring uprisings. One specific aspect, though, is that a large part of this capitalist oligarchy are family friends and close friends and cronies of the Assad family.
