Victory to the Syrian Revolution! Defeat US\/NATO War Drive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the San Francisco protest (9\/07) against US intervention in Syria \u00a0the CWG distributed signs and leaflets which challenged the neo-stalinists tacit defense of Assad. \u00a0 For revolutionary Marxism, it is not necessary to defend a semi-fascist like Assad and provide cover for his brutality (as does ANSWER,PSL,WWP) in order to defend the semi-colonial people from imperialist domination and \u00a0 military intervention. \u00a0 We found many participants who were not snowed by the leadership of ANSWER.<\/p>\n

Unlike \u00a0ANSWER, the CWG opposes US\/NATO intervention while not excusing or defending the Assad regime and \u00a0their mass murder of the Syrian \u00a0people. \u00a0It is the victory of the Syrian revolution which is necessary to \u00a0 unite the Arab masses, re-ignite the MENA uprising and to defeat imperialism. \u00a0 The logic of this is not lost on all anti-war activists.<\/p>\n

The CWG fights for the workers’ movement to launch labor actions to defend the Syrian Revolution and Defeat the US\/NATO war drive-with political general strikes, occupations of military production and transportation, hot-cargoing of military shipments and the formation of international workers brigades to defeat the Syrian capitalist Assad regime and the imperialists of both camps and all their comprador lackeys.<\/p>\n

The CWG fights the lie that the revolutionary street in Syria are pawns of US imperialism. \u00a0The SNC and the FSA \u00a0despite their assurances to imperialism have not been able to secure anti-tank and the anti-aircraft missiles the local militia require to defeat the regimes armaments. \u00a0 This is because US\/NATO imperialism knows the logic of the revolution is that it will not stop at the ouster of Assad but will reignite the MENA revolution and those armaments will be used against imperialism and Zionism! \u00a0 ANSWER, PSL, WWP thus abandon and oppose the revolution needed to defeat imperialism and contrary to their proclaimed \u00a0solidarity with the people of the middle east,\u00a0they \u00a0actually<\/span>\u00a0provide the left cover that helps perpetuate their oppression and subjugation to imperialism of both camps.<\/span><\/p>\n
