Do we like Assad here? He's an anti-imperialist right?

Ba'athism is based
Of-of course, BO-sama!!!
My opinion is this:
1. He is fighting genocidal jihadist proxies armed by the US, EU, and the Gulf States.
2. He actually is a dictator who is armed and propped up by imperialist Russia & China. Prior to the Libya-style insurrection of armed jihadists made him a pariah in the West he did quite a bit of business in the UK despite his family being on the CIA's list for a long-time.
The EU contribution to the rebels is pretty minor. Turkey, GCC and US are the big suppliers.
He's got my support as soon as I find out The PKK's somehow useful in the eternal burger's grand imperialist plan.
trying to fight American hegemony is imperialism?
Iran in particular has interests in Syria that go far beyond "death to Amerikka"
Eastern imperialism is any better than Western imperialism.
*Is not. Woops
Yes, when their goal is to usurp the U.S. as the dominant imperialist power.
Every true leftist supports socialist countries like Iran, North Korea and Russia.
Fighting for imperialist power is imperialism, regardless if Russia or the US is doing it. inb4 I get a two week ban for this post
China is not an imperialist nation
The hoxa fag has got it right
DFSNS > Syrian Government

It's important to keep in mind the whole picture of imperialism and not just fall for the propaganda of anti-US/anti-Russia-China contrarianism. EU-UK's role in imperialist war and crises must be exposed as well.
DPRK? Yes
Iran and Russia? Not really
Agree, their conquering of Africa is based on altruism and solidarity, not capital doing imperialist expansion as usual
they're not conquering africa
that's a false equivalence conjured up by western capitalists to cover for the historic crimes of imperialism
Then what *are* they doing?
I've already responded to the claim that China isn't imperialist on /marx/: >>5714
Btw Ismail still hasn't replied to my arguments about China, he said in another thread that he would but still hasn't. I think that says everything, even the most knowledgable revisionist posters like Ismail can hardly defend China anymore.
China is the other great imperialist economic super-power besides the United States. It's capital export is enormous and its integrated into the imperialist world-system as a whole.
Exporting the revolution
Hey I'm with you. They're just there to help out bro
(yes the us still commits imperialism on an order of magintude more, but they chinese are still trying to get resources through agression)
Here's how you do it.
>>>/marx/5714
Better than the alternatives, but that's not saying much.
They are trying to counter American hegemony, you don't honestly think Russia wants to become Imperialist again after how it worked so well the last time?
It's not though. The east no longer cares about being a superpower. They are against the whole concept of "superpower", which is why they are trying to undermine American proxies. Ever heard of the Monroe Doctrine? It's the same fucking concept.

That guy is a fountain of knowledge on historical matters but his extreme revisionism ruins it.
I'm just laying down Russia's actual motives for you.
They are not trying to build an Empire. They are just prioritizing internationalism over globalism, like any sane coalition would.
Of course I love based Assad, haha we anti-imperialists are so cool.
*drops note on the floor and walks away*
I remember not understanding this comic at all when I was a newfag. This is refreshing to read now.
Praise Hoxha.

Go suck some corn somewhere else Khruschev.
American here. I don't care. If he wins the civil war and stays in power I don't care. If he loses and he rebels take control I still don't care. I'm sick of my tax money being used to fight wars in the Middle East for other countries. I want out.
he's good, but not like that dude from Burkina Faso. god I love third world filthβ¦
No.
...
So imperialism is not inherent to capitalism? Only to western capitalism?
Even if not legitimate the land claims aren't simply "made up"
If there's no historical basis why does π¬π§π¬π§π¬π§Taiwanπ¬π§π¬π§π¬π§ make the same claims without even the means to take it like China has
protip; imperialism is a system of world economy, not something a country can or cannot be.
I really wish that picture of the camo bikini girl was not in that webm. Our comrades wouldnt appreciate it, they are still very sexually conservative.
I like Assad
