Statement by the Communist Party Marxist, CPM Kenya
The fall of Damascus and the collapse of the Assad government, engineered by imperialist forces, marks a sombre milestone in the unrelenting assault on Syria’s sovereignty. This is not a triumph of democracy or self-determination; it is a victory for imperialism and reaction. Turkey, under Erdoğan, has exposed itself as a lackey of United States imperialism, facilitating the destabilisation of Syria and the destruction of its independence. Yet, this fleeting moment of imperialist triumph is no cause for despair. The resistance of the Syrian people, the Communist Party of Syria, and the broader anti-imperialist forces will only grow stronger, rising to confront the new challenges ahead.
The imposition of a post-Assad regime by imperialist powers and their regional collaborators will be nothing more than the installation of a puppet beholden to Washington and its allies. Such a regime will lack all legitimacy among the Syrian people, who have borne the brunt of over a decade of war, displacement, and economic strangulation imposed by imperialist interventions. There can be no lasting peace in West Asia as long as U.S. imperialism continues its relentless drive to dominate the region and the Zionist outpost of Israel remains a cornerstone of colonial expansion and oppression.
The latest Israeli offensive in the Golan Heights, masked as a “security operation,” is another blatant act of land theft and aggression. This further exemplifies Israel’s expansionist agenda, enabled and emboldened by its alliance with the United States. The unholy partnership between U.S. imperialism and Zionism aims to subjugate the peoples of West Asia, stripping them of their sovereignty and resources. Yet history reminds us that no empire, no matter how powerful, is eternal. The declining U.S. empire, beset by economic crises, political turmoil, and rising global resistance, is steadily marching towards its inevitable collapse.
We stand firmly in solidarity with the people of Syria, the Communist Party of Syria, and all forces of resistance fighting for self-determination, socialism, and liberation from imperialist domination. The defeat of U.S. imperialism and the dismantling of the Zionist state are not merely necessary for the liberation of West Asia—they are essential steps towards a just and peaceful world.
The struggle of the Syrian people is our struggle, and we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to standing alongside all who resist imperialism and fight for liberation. The future belongs to the oppressed and exploited, and no force can prevent their ultimate victory.
Let imperialism tremble, for its days are numbered! The people shall triumph!
