For a Global Campaign of Solidarity with the Syrian Revolution
The Syrian Revolution is a keystone for global justice and worldwide transformation.

A neofascist economic vision would aim to reconstitute the nation as a fully integrated organic unity capable of fighting for supremacy in global competition–a zero-sum struggle among states (and militaries) aiming to secure adequate markets and resources that they alone can exploit.
The starting point for international solidarity should center around two questions. Firstly, is there a popular uprising? And secondly are there people on the ground or elements within that uprising whose vision I share?
To be truly anti-authoritarian, any struggle against fascism and dictatorship at home should be internationalist and cannot be separated from the struggle against fascism and tyranny abroad.
Born as out of some immaculate conception, there is no parental lineage to speak of and the modern xenophobic populist party neither has to defend their belief in national socialism nor reject any connection to it.
Much of the European left’s argument against the revolution was demanding proof from Syrians on their worthiness of support, asking them to demonstrate that they are “revolutionary enough.”
The struggle against Islamophobia in Europe and for radical change in Middle East and North Africa societies still requires discussion inside the radical and revolutionary left.
