A high quality panel. All four of you. Interesting enough for the stream to have been twice as long.

I was hoping for Jaddaliyya to organise a panel on the momentous changes taking place in Syria. It did not disappoint. Thank you very much, Bassam, Omar, Noura and Mouin for this enlightening and educational event. Bassam is right: we should oppose dictatorship AND imperialism. I passionately support the unity in diversity of the Syrian people within its recognised international borders, including the Golan Heights.

Bassam Haddad, keep up your good work! You are one who has gone the deepest for me to help understand what's going on. Correct analysis is key for correct action. Good program, good discussion. International solidarity with Palestinians and others trying to be free (including here in the belly of the beast) is a big part of the solution to the horrible suffering we can see with our own eyes, if we look.

Anyone who has lived or witnessed the reality on the ground cannot deny it. It is like when Ta-Nehisi Coates visited Palestine and saw Apartheid for himself.

32:52 the regime was, from the beginning of Hafez assad’s kulak and feudal oriented regime, and even under the bureaucrat capitalism of Jadid, never a government with the mass base of the workers and real peasants. This by itself didn’t cause the contradictions in Syria to rise or the regime to be undermined because it was always the expression of the ruling class, the bourgeoisie. No other class has ruled Syria in the past century than these exploiters similar to the bourgeoisie. So no government has ever had the mass base of the exploited. Of course, imperialism is capitalism in morbidity. It will indeed go into economic and political crisis and all contradictions will deepen and come to a head, but this is a result of the irreconcilable class conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, who can *never* work with one another or have each other as their social base.

Great discussion. But saying that Assad should have negotiated with the opposition in the begining of the revolution is ridiculous. It wasnt just a revolution it was a regime change operation and he did try to negotiate but the opposition was not serious. They wanted to take over the country and impose their ideology

@abdulrahmanaltabbaa3502 Ай бұрын

Yes, many revolutions are "regime change operations". In this case, it was backed by the people and violently repressed. If Assad had a shred of dignity and humanity he would have appeased the protesters or stepped down.

33:26 So, the regime was, from the beginning of Hafez assad’s kulak and feudal oriented regime, and even under the bureaucrat capitalism of Jadid, never a government with the mass base of the workers and real peasants. This by itself didn’t cause the contradictions in Syria to rise or the regime to be undermined because it was always the expression of the ruling class, the bourgeoisie. No other class has ruled Syria in the past century than these exploiters similar to the bourgeoisie. So no government has ever had the mass base of the exploited.

There’s never been a dictatorship of the proletariat or a government of workers and peasants in Syria. This class contradiction, especially the agrarian question, undoubtedly drives the present mass movement and the political changes in Syria. But it’s not true to imply that this class struggle was dampened in some mythical period where Syrian masses and Assad could get along. Anyone who works with the oppressors and exploiters hand in glove is no friend and ally of the exploited. As it was sometimes said, the exploitation just got more apparent

@user-8ng1ize Ай бұрын

So, in summary, the social base of Hafez Al Assad and bashar al Assad has been the bureaucrat bourgeoisie, never the proletariat or classes aligned with it, this has never been significant to this bourgeois dictatorship, because its entire purpose is to rule the masses and exploit the workers, it has no need to represent them.

@user-8ng1ize Ай бұрын

Maybe I’m inaccurate on some elements, although I really think that from the beginning any reforms were compromised and symbolic and they didn’t change the landlord class which still has its power today. And that’s including pre-Hafez. After Hafez, the agrarian revolution was practically halted, and the alliance with capitalist farmers and feudalism became the basis of the power of Hafez Assad.

Small point, but on the topic of Hezbollah being degraded...Israel would not have pulled out of seizing the area south of the Litani if it was winning. Israel imo pivoted to Syria precisely because it was making zero progress and had to stop Iran resupply via Syria...imo again we are going to see Israel turn its attention back to Lebanon once Syria is 'contained'.
