[Marxism] Fwd: Who are the Syrian rebels: The Genesis of the armed struggle in Syria – P U L S E

[Louis Proyect]

Plenty has been written about the armed struggle in Syria, but on 
left-wing and alternative media sources much of it has been laden with 
conspiracy theories, or is merely recycled Assad regime propaganda. In 
this article, soon to be published as part of a collection about the 
Syrian Revolution, Mark Boothroyd explores the roots of the armed 
struggle, and what drove the rebellion to the situation it finds itself 
in today.

Khiyana: The Unmaking of the Syrian Revolution seeks to uproot the false 
information, reactionary “anti-imperialist” dogma, slurs and slanders 
which have characterised much of the analysis of the revolt in Syria. It 
will contain articles by Idrees Ahmed, Budour Hassan, Sam Charles Hamad, 
Leila Al-Shami, Javaad Alipoor, Louis Proyect, and Michael Karadjis.
