"Unequivocally, the final fall of the Assad hereditary and fascist regime is a great step forward to be celebrated by and for the Syrian people. . . The current situation in Syria also marks a broader key moment, the withdrawal of Russia from the center of the Middle East. In a swinging geopolitical see-saw, the prior humiliation of the USA in both Iraq and Afghanistan, has been in a sense reversed. . . But in the midst of celebrating Assad’s fall, caution by Marxist-Leninists is more than warranted. Marxist-Leninist analysis must avoid two opposite errors. The first is to simply dismiss the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as being a tool of the USA and Israeli Zionists from the outset. This first error is made by some elements of the so-called ‘campist’ error of pro-Putinites. A second and opposite danger is to fail to see the dangerous elements in the developing HTS government. . . An unstinting, uncritical over-praise of the HTS with disregard of its markedly reactionary past form of Sunni fundamentalism, would be incorrect. The HTS are at essence fundamentalist nationalists. . . . An additional cause for caution is the HTS leadership – now overt – overt courting of Western imperialist and Israeli backing. We believe this is a relatively new development. When it began is not clear as yet. Although its very recent development has been fostered via Turkey – a member of NATO and a key ally of the USA, and indeed of Israel. We do not believe this recent development affects the progressive nature of the HTS destruction of the Assadist state."
