Uprising for bread in Swayda, southern Syria, in the territories controlled by the fascist al-Assad
On Sunday, February 6, a gigantic uprising of the workers and exploited began in Swayda, in southern Syria, who by thousands took over the city centre. The claim was for dignity, against hunger, poverty and misery to which they have been subjected by the Bashar regime. They affirm that 10 years of revolution have already passed and the regime can be no longer. This is an uprising for dignity! The Syrian revolution is the revolution for a decent life! Let the fascist regime of Bashar al-Assad fall!
The forces of repression came to disperse such a mobilization, which withdrew, but did not give in. The next day they took over the city down town again, interrupting trade and the activities of the local government office, imposing a strike in that area. They also cut the highway that connects that city with Damascus. They once again faced the crackdown of the fascist forces of al-Assad, claiming that they will not back down, that this is their fight for their dignity, for their lives. They claimed that they will return stronger tomorrow.
Once again all the deceptions of a left that slandered the masses calling them "terrorists", "barbaric", "backward" are now exposed, as it is clear that the uprisings belong to those exploited against the fascist regime of al-Assad, that they defended as “anti-imperialist”.
The uprising in Swayda has the same demands as the marches that have been taking place in northern Syria, in cities in the province of Idlib or Al Bab, for increased wages and against the rising prices of electricity, bread, rents... and even for having to live in tents buried two meters under snow after the intense storm of recent weeks. The conditions of hunger and misery once again push the masses to take to the streets. The working class must be the vanguard, setting up unions, demanding wages at the level of the family basket and distribution of working hours so that there is work for all.
Only the working class fighting for its demands can re-unify Syria, which was partitioned from the Geneva conference between al-Assad, Putin, the Sunni generals of HTS and the FSA under the command of Turkey, and the US who steals the oil from Raqa and Deir ez Zor.
Out with Al-Assad! Out with the U., Russian, Iranian, Turkish troops and all the invading forces! Down with the Geneva Pact! We must recover the weapons to confront al-Assad! We must disarm the generals of HTS and the FSA who, instead of opening the fronts, direct their weapons to impose iron-fist control against the masses, with a regime of persecution and prison that has nothing to envy to al-Assad!
We must set up unions and coordinate at the local and national levels to fight for decent wages, work for all and end misery in a unified fight! It is necessary to reestablish the coordination committees with direct democracy, expelling the local bourgeoisie who agreed with al-Assad!
In order to achieve a decent life, it is necessary to expropriate the businessmen who got rich from the war and continue to profit from the prices of basic goods, Al-Assad and his gang, the banks, the oil wells that the US now occupy with their YPG Gurkhas, and take back the wealth of the Syrian people.
This can revolt Daraa, Damascus, and all the areas under the fascist jackboot of al-Assad, supported by Putin, the Iranian Ayatollahs and Hezbollah mercenaries. Swayda's uprising cannot be isolated as Daraa was yesterday. We must open the fronts and expel from the resistance any bourgeois who makes an effort to honor the Geneva Pact.
The revolution continues, until conquering the fall of the regime, freedom and dignity.
