    The tankie communities are definitely seeing the fall of Assad as a very bad thing.

    Yeah. It’s bad that Assad has fallen to woke ISIS. How can you say this is a good thing for Syria? It just means more war and division for the region.

      It’s a double edged sword. Assad gone is a good thing, however it remains to be seen that it’s a good thing for the people of Syria, only time will tell. But you can’t cling onto a shitty dictator on the off chance that things might be worse. The people of Syria certainly seem to be happy about it.

      From the Tankie perspective, they couldn’t give a flying fuck about the people of Syria, only what it means for the “unity” of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.

        Why?

        however it remains to be seen that it’s a good thing for the people of Syria,

        Assad being gone would only be a good thing, if it was good for the people of Syria.

        From the Tankie perspective, they couldn’t give a flying fuck about the people of Syria

        Strawman

        only what it means for the “unity” of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.

        Yeah, the weakening of the axis of resistance is probably a bad thing for the future of the middle east.

          Why?

          You’re asking why a dictator who uses chemical weapons on people being removed is a good thing?

          Strawman

          I was basing it on threads I saw on Lemmygrad and Hexbear. Their only concern is about the impact is has on Russia, Iran & China.

            Yes. How will this lead to a better outcome for Syria? I don’t really see anyway how it can.

            I’m asking how is it a good thing when the replacement is ISIS. The brave mujaheddins of Afghanistan all over again.
