September 25th, 2014 -Syria

On September 23rd, imperiailsm finally fired its missiles and bombs over Syrian territory. Under the pretext of an hypothetical attack targeting the Islamic State (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra, most of the imperialist air bombing fired on the Syrian exploited. They even bombed several oil refineries where Syrian workers worked as slaves, killing several of them.
It is once again proved that the biggest terrorist in the Middle East is Obama, a blackened Bush. The imperialist powers in the region are the true terrorists. They are bombing Syria and Iraq today as yesterday invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, killing hundreds of thousands of exploited. The imperialist “civilization”, plundering the subjugated people, brings barbarism, starvation, killings and confinement in concentration camps of masses removed from their lands, as we see today in Palestine.

Of course the US missiles that today are falling over the Syrian exploited of Aleppo, Idlib, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor were fired with the support of Bashar al-Assad, to which the Bolivarian bourgeoisies of Latin America, Stalinism and a whole wing of renegades of Trotskyism (members of the World Social Forum) wanted to show as “anti-imperialist”. This wing claimed that the masses “belonged to the CIA” and that imperialism wanted to overthrow Assad. With this slander on the Syrian masses (as it also did with the Libyan exploited slandering them of being “NATO ground troops”) they wanted to isolate them from the world working class for them to be massacred.
Today it is clear that these were deceptions on the world masses, when we see Assad celebrating the imperialist bombs falling over the exploited masses in the free zones, and heliping those bombings in every way he can.
Obama, a blackened Bush, today is bombing the free zones under the pretext of confronting ISIS because of its “ruthless terrorism”. Of course its bombs didn’t fall on Damascus, since it let happen (and actually silently encouraged it) the “ruthless terrorism” of Assad, which massacred 500.000 Syrian exploited and confining 10 million to live in refugee camps in the border. It is thus clear that Assad (armed by Putin and Hu Jintao and reinforced by the Iranian Ayatollahs and Hezbollah) made Obama’s “dirty work”, and he had nothing of antiimperialist, except a label which was put by the currents that betray the world working class, in order to legitime Assad and support him, isolating the Syrian revolution and letting a genocide of the exploited masses to take place.

Assad was one of the agentes that imperialism used to crush the revolution, but not the only one. It also used ISIS to destroy the organs of dual power of the masses from within. ISSI is the other agent of imperialism, whose role is to control the revolutionary processes from within and shoot them in the back as fifth column. That’s why it was sent by the American CIA, the British MI6 and their lackeys the petty kings of Saudi Arabia to the “free zones” of Syria and then to the north of Iraq when the revolutionary masses rose there.
The Islamic State is a bourgeois army-party whose function is to discipline the masses and smashing them from within wherever they rose. We have repeatedly seen this is several opportunities in Syria and in Iraq as well. That’s what happened a few days ago, when they launched an attack on the Kurdish zone in Syria to kill Kurdish workers and poor peasants, forcing hundreds of thousands to take refuge in Turkey. It is thus clear that this counterrevolutionary action of the Islamic State was commanded by Obama, who later used it as pretext to dress himself as “democratic” and “humanitarian” and be able to directly unload bombs and missiles on the Syrian masses.

This is how imperialism used its agents, which were concentrated in Geneva 2 to isolate and smash the masses, with every agent playing its determined role. While Al-Assad, Putin, the Iranian Ayatollahs and Hezbollah do the “dirty work” of slaughtering the masses as in Syria, ISIS goes to control and impose discipline on the revolutionary masses that rose, using its “anti-imperialist” rhetoric, the same way that the Free Syrian Army (FSA) contained the masses using a “democratic” rhetoric.
This is the plan of Geneva 2, where imperialism uses its agents and smash the revolution imposing the Lebanon-ization of Iraq and Syria, reconfigurating the borders to recolonize those nations and strangle the revolution in the rising people of Maghreb and the Middle East.
With today’s bombs, imperialism is continuing its Lebanon-ization plan of Syria, in which each regional bourgeoisie controls and smashes the masses in each piece of the territory that it dominates, so afterwords imperialism enters and keeps everything for itself. That is to say, Obama used ISIS for it to smash the revolution as much as possible, but after it has already accomplished its task in Syria, imperialism gets rid of ISIS for it not to emerge as a national bourgeoise that negociates a bigger slice of the oil incomes.

This evil plan couldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the World Social Forum, which has isolated the Syrian masses and silenced the genocide. It left Assad’s hands free for him to impose the slaughter on behalf of Obama and the imperialist powers. It was the support for the whole counterrevolutionary acting of imperialism subortinating the world masses to this or that agent. There was a wing of the WSF that openly supported Assad making him appear as “anti-imperialist” while the other wing supported the FSA.

When the revolution in Maghreb and the Middle East started, this last wing of the WSF (LIT, UIT, French NPA and British SWP) said that we were before “springtime of the peoples” and “democratic revolutions”, that is to say, that we were before masses “seeking democracy”, which were supposedly armed and supported by a “democratic bourgeoisie”.
Today, when we see the bombings and that imperialism used its different agents to play determined roles, it is clear that we were before workers and socialist revolutions for bread, where to get it, the exploited must take power, otherwise the bourgeoisie will smash them with counterrevolutionary blows.
When in Syria we see this counterrevolutionary blows... What do these currents say? Do they call for an anti-imperialist fight to confront the biggest of all the terrorists, i.e. Obama, who is the actual leader of ISIS? Not at all.
These currents of the renegades of Trotskyism, that yesterday asked USA for missiles to confront Assad, are calling for the defeat of ISIS, but instead of using imperialist bombings, they propose to be done from “the subjugated Syrian people”, which of course is represented (according to them) by the FSA, to which they always supported and introduced as the “Jacobins of the revolution”.
That is to say they propose imperialism that the FSA takes the task of expelling ISIS. They are the “left” of Obama, his advisors of what’s the best way to apply their plan and defenders of the roles of the regional bourgeoisies such as FSA (and the benefits they get  from it). They are loyal members of the WSF that accuse the revolutionary masses of being “tribes” and “terrorists” (as they did in Iraq) while claim that the main task is to defeat ISIS terrorism and not Obama, the main terrorist.

On the contrary, the Trotskyists that fight for the re-foundation of the Fourth International, confront every imperialist bombing on a subjugated nation and we are in the same military front with the forces opposed to this imperialist aggression whenever that clash exist. We wouldn’t hesitate in making a military front with ISIS if it confronts the imperialist terrorist forces of Obama. But this organization today hasn’t fired a single shot against imperialism. ISIS has proven to be “brave” to massacre the masses inside the “free zones” but coward when it has to confront imperialism. Actually, it has proven to be Obama’s loyal servant. Therefore, under these conditions, we do not make any front with ISIS.

Defeat the bombings of US imperialism and its allies! Military defeat of US, French and British troops and their Gurkha troops of the region that bomb on Iraq and Syria! Military defeat of US imperialism in Afghanistan!
Confront Obama, the commander in chief of the counterrevolution in the whole region, from the Herat of the beast itself!

The best ally that the masses of Maghreb and Middle East have is the working class of the central countries. The US working class, with the war cry “Obama finances Israel’s terrorist massacre on Gaza”, has taken to the streets of all the cities of USA in support of the Palestinian masses, lowering Zionism fire power. The US exploited have risen confronting Obama, the main boss of the world counterrevolution. That’s the way forward! The enemy is at home!
Let the spark of Athens return and ignites the revolution against the imperialist Europe!
Out with Obama and the “Republicrat” regime, the bosses of Zionism, Assad and even ISIS!
Let the million men march against the war rise again! Let the occupy movement return to occupy Wall Street, which is the 1% of parasites that have turned this planet into a filthy prison!

In Syria we have to return to the revolutionary path that confronted and defeated the imperialist-lackey governments and regimes. We have to set up again the armed direct democracy organs of the masses of the Syrian revolution, fighting for expelling the agents of imperialism that smash the revolutionary masses in the free zones, such as ISIS, FSA and Jabhat al-Nusra.
We have to re-arm the Syrian resistance, expelling the bourgeois army-parties that smash the masses in the “free zones”, setting up again the Coordination Committees, to re-take Homs and march to Damascus! This way, breaking with the control of the imperialist lackeys and setting up again the organs of the masses for the struggle, is the best way to confront the imperialist aggression and defeat Assad.
Out Bashar, the murderer of the Syrian and Palestinian exploited from Yarmouk refugee camp, which guards Golan’s borders for Zionism!
In Syria as in Iraq the exploited, with their methods and struggle organizations, proved to be the ones that have defeated the imperialist lackey armies, forcing the very army of the United States to leave Iraq. On the other hand, ISIS proved be there to contain this revolutionary fight, shoot them in the back and prevent the confrontation with imperialism. Expel ISIS from the free zones where the masses rose, in order to re-take the path of the local insurrections that defeated the troops of the Iraqi army, Gurkha of US imperialism, to be able to unite with the exploited of the south and take over Baghdad!

In Maghreb and Middle East, one single revolution against imperialism and its lackeys!
Today the exploited in Yemen rose against the increase of the cost of living. Breaking the control of the national bourgeois sectors that tried to manipulate them, they have occupied all the government buildings, defeating the suppression forces and have taken the question of solving the matter of bread into their own hands. They, as in Libya, have the posed task of seizing power. For that to happen, they need to set up and strengthen their armed self-determination organs.
Today, these uprisings in Yemen are fresh air for the Syrian exploited and also for those in Libya and Iraq. The revolutionary uprisings in Yemen and the Libyan masses defeating the attempts of counterrevolutionary blows show that they are part of a single revolution in Syria, Iraq, Egypt and the whole region, that started in Tunisia in 2011 and must achieve victory in Jerusalem.
Destruction of the Zionist-fascist state of Israel! Down with the “two state” plan in Palestine!
Out with the dictatorship of Al-Sisi in Egypt, supporter of Zionism, guarantor of the Camp David pact! Let the revolutionary masses of Tahrir square return!
Down with the “national salvation” government in Tunisia and the parliament diverting of the World Social Forum!
Out with Heftar and the new Libyan parliament! For a revolutionary provisional government of the rebel brigades and the workers organizations!
This revolution has a decisive fight in Palestine. For the destruction of the Zionist-fascist state of Israel! Down with the “two state” plan!
For the Socialist United States of the North of Africa and the Middle East!
