Syria - September 10, 2022

Hundreds of thousands of dead, millions of refugees, thousands and thousands of political prisoners under torture and a devastated and partitioned nation…

Down with the infamous pact of reconciliation that Erdogan wants to impose with the fascists al-Assad and Putin!

Out with all the occupation troops of Syria!
Out with the regime of al-Assad!

To stop the barbarism:
For a workers and peasants Syria, supported in the coordination committees and the militias of the revolution

The Turkish government announced a few days ago the reconciliation with the fascist al-Assad in Idlib and all the liberated areas in the north. They want the reconciliation with the murderer of hundreds of thousands of Syrian that rose up for bread and freedom; the one that tortured and keeps five hundred thousand Syrian in his jails, true human slaughterhouses; the one that reduced all the workers neighbourhoods of the main cities of Syria; the one that condemned millions of refugees to live in tents in the middle of nowhere as outcasts in their own land or in other countries, sometimes risking their lives to get to Europe, leaving their blood in the Mediterranean Sea.

They want to impose in the liberated north what they did in Daraa in 2018 and then in 2021, where the local bourgeoisie rules under the flag of al-Assad and this means persecution, jail, murder and exile of the resistance while every day the fascist bands of al-Assad make raids and arrests.

They want to settle “lasting peace in Syria”, namely “the peace of the cemeteries” of the Syrian people, supporting the genocidal regime of al-Assad in Damascus after one of the worst genocides of the 21st century.
They want to settle the partition of Syria, the occupation of the subjugated nation by the different counterrevolutionary forces, in which USA takes the lion’s share plundering the oil and the rest of the hyenas share and dispute the businesses of the spoils, even re-establishing the borders, over the basis of the blood, over-exploitation and misery of the Syrian people. Turkey intends to establish a strip of 30km inside the Syrian territory from the border in the north, in which they establish refugee camps (which are already being built), true ghettoes, slave labour force reservoir at the service of sweat shops and where Syrian that are in Europe can be deported.

They want to settle 85% unemployment, 87% poverty, the misery for lack of drinkable water made cholera to return as a big epidemic, destruction of the infrastructure, working 12 hours a day with no right, for a 2 dollars wage per day which only can afford 15% of the typical shopping basket.
This is what the infamous pact between Turkey and the regime of al-Assad and Putin is about. This is what they have been doing from the conference of Geneva-Astana-Sochi, under the US command. Now they want to finish imposing in the whole Syrian territory and for the Syrian revolution to be not even a trace left.

The resistance waged and keeps waging battle

Once the announce of such a plan was made, the Syrian masses took to the streets in the entire Idlib. Systematically, they have opposed to the attempts of defeating their revolution in several opportunities, showing they haven’t given up and from the resistance they wage battle.

We saw it also in Daraa where after being sold out in a reconciliation pact with the regime in 2018 by the local bourgeoisie, the masses insurrected again in 2020-2021, liberating cities and today, after the isolation to which they were subjected and the massacre and the new sellout they suffered, the resistance keeps on responding to the Assadist and Iranian occupation forces with actions and isolated disperse military clashes, marching occasionally to free the prisoners and frustrating the raids of the fascist bands.

We also saw it in Damascus, with massive demonstrations taking to the streets under the very noses of the fascist al-Assad in struggle for the alive appearance and freedom to all the prisoners, which were brutally suppressed by the regime.

The reformist left internationally has to account for their actions to the world working class because of their betrayal to the Syrian revolution, which is today once again clear

The Syrian masses did everything over these 11 years and a half of revolution. If we reached this situation it was not due to the lack of heroism of the masses but because they were sold out in Syria and betrayed internationally.

The leaderships of the world working class gathered together in the World Social Forum in 2013 and 2015 in Tunisia to besiege and betrayal the Syrian revolution. They said “the enemy is ISIS” and gave support to all the counterrevolutionary action of USA, France, al-Assad, Putin, Turkey and Zionism which acted on behalf of “confronting terrorism”. The reformist left were key members of this “anti-terrorist front” which was unpunished when it drowned Syria in a bloodbath because they made the whole world working class believe that those slaughtered in Syria were all terrorists.

These leaderships took charge in separating the Syrian revolution from the workers of the world, openly supporting those who drowned it in blood as al-Assad and Putin, or the other end of the same rope of Geneva of the FSA, which with Turkey ended in the pact that imposed the partition and bloodbath of Syria.

All of them have to explain before the world working class their policy of supporting the executioners of the working class and the Syrian people, which ended up partitioning and draining the blood from Syria. They have to explain why they affirmed that in Syria USA and Turkey were fighting against Russia and al-Assad, when they were all together in a pact over the blood of the Syrian people. They need to explain why they affirmed the only progressive was that the Kurd YPG succeed and called to support them internationally, and they ended as the security guards of the US oil companies that plunder Syria. They have to explain why they slandered the masses of being terrorists, which gave support to the massacre and occupation of Syria.

They have to explain, because they are the cause that explains that today the Syrian revolution, and with it the workers of the world, bear bitter defeats of the great revolutionary processes that shook Middle East and the planet on their shoulders.

To defeat the plan of reconciliation with the regime and expelling the invader troops, we need to recover the weapons, set up again the coordination committees and expel the generals of the Sunnite bourgeoisie that are part of Geneva

They Syrian masses do not accept the plan of the reconciliation with the fascist al-Assad because they don’t sell out the blood of the martyrs and they are not willing to leave the prisoners of the revolution in the dungeons of torture, nor they give up the fight to recover their houses. They want the fall of the fascist war criminal regime in Damascus.
Down with the plan of reconciliation regime that Erdogan wants to impose! Out with al-Assad! Out with all the invader troops! Open the fronts to confront the regime and those who support it!

But for this, we need to recover the weapons that the generals of the Sunnite bourgeoisie took, whether from the FSA which is directly aligned with Erdogan and its reconciliation pact, or HTS and other alike that let these demonstrations go through to negotiate better their cut. They all have been part of the agreements of the partition of Syria, with which they filled their pockets with millions of dollars sentencing the masses to misery. All of them were part of the counterrevolutionary agreements of Geneva-Astana-Sochi. They are the guarantors of keeping the partition of Syria. Out with the generals of the Sunnite bourgeoisie from the resistance!

The resistance in Daraa cannot be left isolated once again. We need to recover our structures for the struggle. Let’s set up again the coordination committees and its militias of workers, peasants and partisans as in 2011.

This struggle would undoubtedly awaken enthusiasm of our exploited brothers and sisters who are under the fascist jackboot of al-Assad, as in Damascus. We have the same demand of ending with hunger and misery, recovering our homes and having a decent house, freeing all the detained of the revolution, punishing all the murderous genocides… Therefore only the working class can unify Syria and end with the partition imposed by imperialism and its agents from Geneva.

Let’s revolt the masses in the entire Syria! Expropriate all the businessmen that got rich at the expense of the blood, plunder and hunger of the Syrian people, starting with all the oil wells and the central bank and the exchange offices! The wealth belongs to the workers and the people of Syria!

For a provisional revolutionary workers and peasants government! This is the only one which can guarantee the solution to the problem of hunger and housing. Only this government can guarantee a unified workers independent Syria. For a workers and peasants Syria based in the coordination committees and its militias!

In the whole Maghreb and Middle East, one single fight against one single enemy: imperialism and its lackeys

The Syrian revolution and the struggle of its resistance today against the attempt of completing its defeat is and always was a link of a single struggle in the entire Maghreb and Middle East. In the first place, it is directly linked to the Turkish working class, to which they will impose the worst attacks on wages, work, flexibility, using the slave labour force of the Syrian refugees as blackmail. In Turkey, it is necessary a fight of the whole working class before the brutal economic crisis for wages equal to the typical shopping basket and distribute the working hours among all the available hands to produce, at the war cry Equal pay for equal work! And full rights and documents for all the Syrian refugees.

It is necessary to weld the unity between the Syrian resistance and the Palestinian masses. The more al-Assad, Putin, Hezbollah and the Iranian Ayatollah advanced over the Syrian revolution, the more Zionism was strengthened, recovered firepower and its borders are well guarded, and today it has launched “operation breaking dawn” with bombings over Gaza and raids and arrests in the West Bank, seeking to impose the rendition to the whole Palestinian people. For years, the leaderships of the Palestinian bourgeoisie kept us divided to different sides of the Golan. The same thing the treacherous leaderships of the working class did, as we already said. It is time to end with this division!

In Iraq, the masses took over the government facilities taking advantage of the gaps between different agents of the US oil companies. The unity of all the exploited is at the order of the day, whether we are Sunni, Shi, Kurd… to confront imperialism and all its servants that steal the black gold and leave us in the most absolute misery.
It is the same fight we share with the exploited of the whole region, which would stand up again in conquering bread and end up with such misery imposed by the plunder of imperialism and its lackey governments. It is the same fight with the workers of the imperialist centres, which also are starting to suffer the attacks of its imperialist bourgeoisie.
