Revolutionary Echoes From Syria

by Anonymous

Conversations with two anarchists from Aleppo

The discussion below reflects an overview of the conditions experienced by individuals who are trying to liberate themselves from the system of social hypocrisy and the mentality of subordination. Our experience is still fragile, a newborn.

During the revolution and even now the difficulty lies in our inability to observe clearly the inherent authoritarian power within the society and the state. Consequently this prevented – and still prevents – us from stripping the layers they hide behind and fighting them raw and bare.

Really interesting and clear. This little book transcribes a discussion which gives a general view of the condition of individuals who are trying to free themselves "from the system of social hypocrisy and the mentality of subordination".

intro:
"During the revolution and even now the difficulty lies in our inability to observe clearly the inherent authoritarian power within the society and the state. Consequently this prevented – and still prevents – us from stripling the layers they hide behind and fighting them raw and bare."

"Many individuals were launching a double war: one against a totalitarian regime. Another against their own forced affiliations: be it ethnic, religious or sectarian"

"Critical thinking was needed, to reflect upon the movement and see where it's going, how we can "win" the largest amount of battles with the least amount or sacrifices"

Interesting little book which challenges perceptions and adds dimension to the Syrian revolution. As more of a multipolarity and anti-imperialist type of a guy, I have a tendency to be soft on the Syrian, NK, Iranian administration's because of their efforts against Western hegemony. This of course makes me a bit blind to the revolutionary struggle within these countries. This book forced me into the micro perspective with all its contradictions - such as revolutionaries looking for Western support. Essential for those who operate on the macro and are big into geopolitics, often forgetting the micro factors that build the same. The book admittedly operates at a distance from the absolute truth, but is a step toward it.
