    Assad falling is good, because Assad is a dictator.

    Why does Assad being a dictator meaning his regime collapsing is good?

    The left should be against dictators

    Why? Just because Assad is an authoritarian dictator I should cheer that CIA backed Woke ISIS knocked down his regime?

    Just because Assad and Russia are enemies of the capitalist West doesn’t mean that they should get a free pass from the left to oppress Syrians and Ukrainians.

    Yet, both of these situations, the instability in the Syria and the invasion of Ukraine, can largely be traced back to decisions made by the imperialist west to agitate and destabilize these regions intentionally. Supporting Ukrainians doesn’t mean you have to support the US proxy that is the Ukranian nation state, and supporting Syrians doesn’t mean you have to back Woke ISIS using guns shipped in by the CIA.

      Assad has killed hundreds of thousands of his own people including using poison gas on civilians and operated a gigantic torture prison. Russia and Hezbollah helped him murder Syrians all day every day for the last decade at least. Assad also occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and murdered Lebanese politicians.

      As long as Arabs kill Arabs, people in the west don’t give a shit.

        All of this can be true but it doesn’t mean the collapse of the regime is “good”. The regime has been replaced by Woke ISIS, trained and armed by the CIA.

        As long as Arabs kill Arabs, people in the west don’t give a shit.

        This is correct, and the collapse of the Assad regime will simply continue this forever war for the USAs and Israels interests. I don’t see how this is good for Syria.
