*The Bystanders of the Syrian Revolution* */A critique of the International Socialist League/*
/By Michael Pröbsting, Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT), 13 December 2024/
The Syrian Revolution which started in March 2011 and finally succeeded in bringing down the Assad dictatorship a few days ago has known supporters as well as enemies amongst self-proclaimed left-wing forces. The RCIT and a few other organisations consistently sided with the heroic struggle of the rebels since the very beginning. In contrast, the Stalinists, Bolivarians and several so-called “Trotskyists” shamefully sided with the tyranny and its Russian and Iranian masters.
However, there has always been also a third category of people – the bystanders. We are talking about those who, while opposing the Assad regime, refused to support the liberation struggle of the Syrian people. They simply took a neutral position and watched from the sidelines while the rebels resisted against the tyranny massacring hundreds of thousands of people. Many of these bystanders sympathized with the revolutionary masses in the first few years but stopped their support as global public opinion lost its interest in the Syrian Revolution.
