ok so I have long giggled at the neo-Castro memes about Assad but I really don’t know much about him.
I know he leads a nominally socialist government but Syria has also, let’s say, not been a very nice place for many people for quite a while, and some accuse Assad of war crimes.
Can anyone spare a take? or point me to non-westoid resources to learn more? (i promise i am asking genuinely and not doing wrecker shit)
Assad has some bad and reactionary policies, but the stories about him using chemical weapons on civilians in territories he just liberated from terrorists is just horseshit (they were probably bombs planted by the fleeing terrorists)
In all honesty this is why the term “critical support” is used, i.e. the individual is not an angel but is opposed to western advances that would have left Syria desolate/destroyed and in the hands of regressive terrorist groups that are even more reactionary towards various groups. i.e. Gadaffi was taken out in Libya and the Arab Spring happened and then suddenly there were open air human slave markets selling women and children in areas of Egypt and Libya is a good example of what happens when “western liberation” occurs in the Middle East and is why “critical support” is oriented towards understanding that things could be EVEN WORSE.
I don’t know if there are many “good policies” outside of fighting against an invasion by the US, Israel, and western backed militias and ISIS terrorists. That is basically Syria’s modern existence. If he’s replaced by a pro-US puppet then Syria will likely face the same fate as Libya.
Insofar as my “support” means anything at all, it’s on the basis of him being an enemy of Israel whose country has been fighting for its life for a long time against terrorists and imperialists. I don’t especially like the Ayatollah (though I think he’s a smart guy), but I’d say I’m supportive of Iran for largely similar reasons, though it is a much more secure country than Syria.
who do you consider yourself to be , so your support for a war turn dystopian nightmare returning to peace and Souvereignity is such a precious good to render ?
Hes the Son of the “longterm President” Hafiz Al Assad
hes an Eye Doctor , he founded the Syrian Computer society in 1989 , where he was the first president and spread Computers and the Internet.
His Brother then had a fatal DUI incident , so he had to return to start his presidency “Candidate” nomination.
He is Marryied to Asma Al Assad that he loves dearly as his emails where hacked and they where him sending her loveletters and other just adorable stuff.
He has a Amazing Voice and should produce Audiobooks.
Palestinians have fled to Syria. They were supportive of Assad when he was declaring his support for Palestine, but I believe he’s become unpopular among the demographic after ISIS became the main priority and protests were cracked down.

Hexbear, I turn my ear to you
EDIT: thank u for all the thoughtful commentary!

I guess, what are the good policies we support him for? I’m really not familiar with worker conditions in Syria before and after his coming to power.
And again if there are good articles or whatever I’m happy to read, just not finding much from Wikipedia / other quickly accessible sources

You can cut the “propably”, Aaron Mate uncovered the entire shitshow. It was the terrorists, with cover from the west.
