Louis: "the PSL--unlike the ISO--is actually pro-Assad" >From a recent article: http://www.pslweb.org/liberationnews/letters/readers-thoughts-on-syria-tayfu n-gol.html "The Syrian government is bourgeois nationalist, and in recent years in particular has adopted social and economic policies that have increased the hardship on poor and working people, especially young workers. As in all capitalist societies, it deploys forces of repression like the police to protect this unequal order. Syria carries out a contradictory, but independent, foreign policy, assisting resistance movements on the one hand, but at other times aligning with the imperialists based on its own narrow interests."
