Shoulder to shoulder with the Rojava Revolution and the revolutionary-democratic forces of the Syrian Arab people, let’s take to the streets, squares, and trenches of war!

Imperialism and the regional centers of counterrevolution have accelerated the overthrow of the regime of Bashar al-Assad and the takeover by political Islamist organizations, largely consisting of fascists, in a temporary and conflict-ridden overlapping alliance. The USA, the “Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS” and Russia, which kept their air forces and advanced technologies for various types of ground weapons under wraps, have provided the necessary support to the coalition known as HTS, which is the enemy of the peoples, women, and masses which do not belong to political Islam. HTS was able to reach Damascus without obstacles. Turkey has provided the most active support, particularly military assistance. The indirect support of Israel through special methods of warfare is indisputable.

Assad and his state forces, who show no trace of resistance or struggle and present one of the most miserable, despicable examples of capitulation, have created nothing more than a cloak with their demagogy, such as the “patriotism” rhetoric, to hide their own chauvinistic, reactionary, bourgeois, and colonial interests. Today, it is clear to the broad masses that these have nothing to do with the revolutionary, democratic, and anti- imperialist interests of the Syrian Arab people. The new regime is primarily a coalition of HTS, the USA, the UK, and Turkey. This coalition represents various interests of Israel. However, their future is uncertain. They will prepare the ground for new chaos, division, civil war, and imperialist power struggles in Syria and the region.

The Lebanese Hezbollah and the reactionary, political Islamist, regime of Iran will face new challenges arising from the internal and regional politics of the HTS-led state in Syria.

The fascist, colonialist, capitalist Turkish state and the collaborating, chauvinist-fascist interest network called SNA (Syrian National Army) want to seize every opportunity to destroy the revolution in Rojava. All imperialist powers supporting HTS and thus the SNA are directly or indirectly involved in this threat to varying degrees. The people of Rojava and the democratic and revolutionary forces of the Syrian Arab people have no choice but to resist and fight. It would be suicide to be deceived by the lies, illusions, and demagogues of the USA or any other imperialist power and the traps of imperialist bourgeois diplomacy. A glance at Afrin and Serêkaniyê is enough to recognize this.

The situation that Assad has found himself in is also instructive enough.

The democratic rights and revolutionary achievements of the Syrian Arab people, especially the Alawite Arabs, the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Armenian Christian communities, the Yazidis, and all women of Syria and Rojava, are also in great danger. Anyone who wants to see the specific future in Syria and Rojava under the leadership of HTS, which is drenched in blood, massacres, torture, rape, and human trafficking in the ranks of ISIS and shows no fundamental change in mentality, as well as under the rapacious, marauding, and collaborating SNA with the Turkish Republic, which represents the most treacherous part of the Arab people, should take a look at the practice of Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

The democratic, revolutionary, and socialist forces of Kurdistan, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Tunisia, and the Arab states of the region, as well as the progressive, antifascist, revolutionary, socialist workers, women, youth, intellectuals, artists, and scientists of Europe, the USA, and the whole world, are called upon to unite with the Rojava Revolution and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the progressive, antifascist, revolutionary, and communist forces in Syria against the coalition of HTS, the USA, the UK, and Turkey, and against the fascist, colonialist henchmen of the Turkish bourgeois state, who form a racist, fascist, political Islamist gang under the name of SNA. It is necessary to provide all support and exert pressure on the reactionary fascist govemments.

Let’s take to the streets, occupy squares, universities, and workers’ districts. Let us demonstrate in front of imperialist state institutions and international imperialist organizations. Let us defend the Rojava Revolution and the revolutionary democratic achievements of the Syrian Arab people by all means and in every form. Let us defend the revolutionary and democratic demands of the women of the people of Rojava and Syria. Let’s exhaust all possibilities to reach the trenches of war. We must, with all our strength, build the revolutionary and socialist alterative in the region against the new reactionary, fascist, imperialist, and colonialist domination.

Let us confront the imperialists and their collaborators who are creating new disasters in the Middle East, imposing new chains of slavery on the peoples, spreading despair and frustration, creating the most favorable conditions for exploitation and plunder, and trying to create regimes in line with the interests of Israel, with the resistance and struggle of the working class, women, youth, the poor, and the working people. Let us strengthen the united struggle of the peoples.
Let us fight for freedom and socialism.
