The First Phase of a New War Returns to SyriaLiberals and their Western allies, among the social-imperialist left in the U.S. and Europe, are celebrating the end of the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria after the stunning sweep across the country by so-called “rebels” led by the Al-Qaeda offshoot, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Their celebratory mood is informed by a tragic misunderstanding of what appears to be more of a coup d’etat in Syria than a military defeat.

“The fight in the U.S. is to fight for a real authentic democracy! It is a struggle to shift power from this repressive minority government – this ruling class that is committed to war and rep repression. To shift power away from them to the people – to the masses of the people! Because if not, we allow for these forces to continue. They will represent and are representing an existential threat to global humanity. And I don’t think that is an exaggeration.”– Ajamu Baraka. From this week’s interview.

For decades, most Black political commentary has expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people, but recently, a new phenomenon has appeared, particularly on social media platforms, which accuses all Palestinians of being anti-Black racists, and asserts that aligning with them is either of no use to Black people or even that it is detrimental to our own cause.

The Imperialist chickens have come home to roostOne of the defining characteristics of the current crisis is the speed at which contradictory social, political and ideological dynamics can change with contradictions shifting from primary to secondary, antagonistic to non-antagonist and conflicts of interests, as well as struggles among the capitalist oligarchy producing new intra-bourgeois class alignments.
