Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
On Sunday last week, Damascus fell to Salafi terrorists and other imperialist-aligned forces. Regardless of the flaws of the ousted government, this is a horrible situation for the Syrian proletariat as well as for the people of Palestine, Lebanon and others. We can only hope for the perseverance of the Syrian workers and the remaining anti-colonial resistance.

Remember, Lion of Damascus will return one day, he is alive and well in Moscow unlike Gaddafi, the only question is when! 🇸🇾
Nah, Assad would rather work as an eye doctor in Russia.
Proletarian revolution in Syria when?
He will definitely continue working as doctor while staying in Moscow, but why wouldn't he return once all this shit in Middle East ends?
He never really wanted to be president, he had always studied to be a doctor first.
At this point, I sure hope Russia and/or China start supplying nukes to Iran and any country that faces the threat of annihilation at the hands of empire (like Iraq, Libya, and now Syria) should be looking to acquire nukes as soon as possible.
He is very unlikely to return. There's immense propaganda against him, most of his supporters in Syria are already denouncing him. Russia has reportedly asked him to completely disappear from public eyes, as they want to normalize with new regime and maintain their naval base in Syria. He has no chance to defend himself politically or make a comeback if this is true.
