Imagine someone who writes under the banner of 'Direct Democracy Movement' advocating even more imperialist Russian control over the uber-repressive, genocidal Syrian dictatorship, which boasts the world's biggest torture gulag, in order to save it.
As for the claim by Abraham that "the funding and equipping of the rebel forces by the NATO agency would constitute an imperialist initiative," well the problem is of course that there is zero such funding of HTS and the Syrian rebellion by "NATO" or the US at all, in fact the statement by the National Security Council made clear they consider HTS a "terrorist organisation," which just happens to be the same word used by the South Front article, " On November 27, terrorist groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham began a major offensive ..." Odd, because until just a couple of days ago Abraham was saluting the new uprising against Assad. South Front of course is a Russian-owned far-right publication, which also tries to impress gullible leftists. For example, in relation to the Australian far-right (and of course pro-Putin) Austrian Freedom Party (FPO), here's some choice words from the site: “One can say that this election is not only a choice between right and left but also a choice between conservative and liberal. This election was crucial for political developments within the European Union. Now, in addition to Hungary, there is also a strong critical movement in Austria against totalitarian politics from Brussels. Even if the FPÖ does not come into government, the party has the opportunity to do a good job in parliament. In addition, this party will now continue to advance. The party can now continue to build up its structures and will also have good opportunities in the regional elections. But the most important thing is the effect on European politics. This election has shown us that a party also has a chance of coming to first place, even though all the structures of the system are mobilizing all possibilities against this political force. This fact will give many political forces in Europe great courage to continue the political struggle. The small country of Austria sent an important signal to all countries in Europe by this election. Continuous efforts in politics can still mobilize voters even at a time when the system’s media is omnipotent. *Even scandals in the FPÖ’s past and divisions in the party did not manage to prevent this victory. In the long term, this party will play an important role in future politics in Austria. And other patriotic parties in Europe can also have this future.”* *https://southfront.press/austrian-freedom-party-fpo-wins-parliamentary-elections/ <https://southfront.press/austrian-freedom-party-fpo-wins-parliamentary-elections/>* Or the far-right Islamophobic, anti-immigrant riots in the UK following the horrific killing of three girls by a young Christian UK-born citizen: “It is unfortunate when the masses resort to violence to be heard, but the people of the UK have finally snapped after years of begging their elected officials to close the borders. Around 672,000 illegals entered the UK in 2023 alone, with 84,000 claiming asylum. The foreign-born population reached 14.5% by 2021, and has doubled since the beginning of the decade. The open border policy never faltered when Britain left the EU. Nigel Farage is one of the only politicians in the UK to question what is happening in his country. “I just wonder whether the truth is being withheld from us. I don’t know the answer to that, but I think it is a fair and legitimate question,” Farage stated when the riots first began. He has condemned the riots but has at least acknowledged why the people are enraged. “The majority of our population can see the fracturing of our communities as a result of mass, uncontrolled immigration, whether legal or illegal,” Farage said. “Yet to attempt to debate this in the public arena leads to immediate howls of condemnation. A population explosion without integration was always going to end badly. I have said this for many years. We must have a more honest debate about these vital issues and give people the confidence that there are political solutions that are relevant to them. A recall of Parliament would be an appropriate start to this.” England is hardly a Christian nation as the migrant crisis has permanently changed the landscape. In the United Kingdom, for example, Islam is the second-largest religion. … There is nothing inherently wrong with the religion of course, but it is understandable that people want to maintain their own nation’s traditions, religion, and morals.” https://southfront.press/riots-in-uk-far-right-thuggery-or-popular-protest/ Yay, let’s have some more analysis from South Front on marxmail!
