Stop U.S. war against Syria!

#HandsOffSyria

“… Syria today stands at the front line, defending itself against a massive imperialist assault. It is the last truly independent Arab state. For six years, Syrians have faced a multifaceted fight to the death against dozens of countries, yet they and their allies are closer to victory than ever before. Syria’s steadfast resistance has accelerated contradictions within global imperialism, making the ground fertile for resistance to imperialism worldwide.

The war against Syria was always about more than natural resources or pipelines. Syrian society was built on a foundation of secularism, pluralism, resistance and progress. The war against Syria amounts to a counter revolution to destroy these very foundations. Imperialism had to curate the most reactionary, sectarian forces to accomplish that goal, just as they did in Afghanistan with the reactionary Mujahideen, which they later used as a justification for occupation…

Stop the war! U.S. out!

It is the duty of those living in the belly of the beast, in the U.S., to unequivocally demand imperialist forces leave Syria. We have to combat bourgeois propaganda until our vocal cords are worn. The same media that justify the police lynchings of Black children in the U.S. are using the deaths of Syrian children to justify war.

The wars against Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya were all colonial genocides built on lies. Syria is no different. The occupations of all those victims are ongoing. The Afghanistan intervention is the longest war in U.S. history. A U.S. occupation of Syria would be no different.

Because Iran and Russia will not let Syria be turned into a “failed state,” a U.S. “retaliation” promises to make this regional war a world war. The liberation of the workers and oppressed peoples in the U.S. is dependent on our ability to unite our struggles with the independence struggles of oppressed nations.

U.S., Turkey, NATO, Israel, contras: Out of Syria!”
