Israeli tanks continue their advance further into Syrian territory, as the HTS-led government allows their land to be occupied

An Israeli mechanized force is spearheading an advance into the villages of al-Asha, Abu Ghara, and Mazraat al-Hiran, located in the the Quneitra countryside of southern Syria. The HTS-government in Damascus has completely abandoned the entire south of Syria, allowing villages to be ethnically cleansed, occupied and civilians to be shot. Israel has occupied the 6 primary sources of water in the nations South, their forces are located only 15-20KM away from Damascus and commit continuous airstrikes throughout the country, even using special forces units to raid areas surrounding Hama and Homs. Instead of challenging Israel, the new Syrian government has made excuses for them and hint at normalisation.

The grasping, malicious, frenzied filthy avidity of the money-bags, the cowed servility of their hangers-on is the true social source of the present wail raised by the spineless intellectuals—from those of Rech to those of Novaya Zhizn— against violence on the part of the proletariat and the revolutionary peasants. Such is the objective meaning of their howls, their pathetic speeches, their clownish cries of “freedom” (freedom for the capitalists to oppress the people), etc. They would be “prepared” to recognise socialism, if mankind could Jump straight into it in one spectacular leap, without any of the friction, the struggles, the exploiters’ gnashing of teeth, or their diverse attempts to preserve the old order, or smuggle it back through the window, without the revolutionary proletariat responding to each attempt in a violent manner. These spineless hangers-on of the bourgeoisie with intellectualist pretensions are quite “prepared” to wade into the water provided they do not get their feet wet.

The drooping intellectuals are terrified when the bourgeoisie and the civil servants, employees, doctors, engineers, etc., who have grown accustomed to serving the bourgeoisie, go to extremes in their resistance. They tremble and utter even shriller cries about the need for a return to “conciliation”. Like all true friends of the oppressed class, we can only derive satisfaction from the exploiters’ extreme measures of resistance, because we do not expect the proletariat to mature for power in an atmosphere of cajoling and persuasion, in a school of mealy sermons or didactic declamations, but in the school of life and struggle. To become the ruling class and defeat the bourgeoisie for good the proletariat must be schooled, because the skill this implies does not come ready-made. The proletariat must do its learning in the struggle, and stubborn, desperate struggle in earnest is the only meal teacher. The greater the extremes of the exploiters’ resistance, the more vigorously, firmly, ruthlessly and successfully will they be suppressed by the exploited. The more varied the exploiters’ attempts to uphold the old, the sooner will the proletariat learn to ferret out its enemies from their last nook and corner, to pull up the roots of their domination, and cut the very ground which could (and had to) breed wage-slavery, mass poverty and the profiteering and effrontery of the money-bags.

The strength of the proletariat and the peasantry allied to it grows with the resistance of the bourgeoisie and its retainers. As their enemies, the exploiters, step up their resistance, the exploited mature and gain in strength; they grow and learn and they cast out the “old Adam” of wage-slavery. Victory will be on the side of the exploited, for on their side is life, numerical strength, the strength of the mass, the strength of the inexhaustible sources of all that is selfless, dedicated and honest, all that is surging forward and awakening to the building of the new, all the vast reserves of energy and talent latent in the so-called “common people”, the workers and peasants. Victory will be theirs.

The struggle for political rights, for the right to receive doctorates and other academic degrees, and for equal pay for equal work, is not the full sum of the fight for equality. To become really free woman has to throw off the heavy chains of the current forms of the family, which are outmoded and oppressive. For women, the solution of the family question is no less important than the achievement of political equality and economic independence.

In the family of today, the structure of which is confirmed by custom and law, woman is oppressed not only as a person but as a wife and mother, in most of the countries of the civilised world the civil code places women in a greater or lesser dependence on her husband, and awards the husband not, only the right to dispose of her property but also the right of moral and physical dominance over her. ...

My thanks to all the North West regional CPGB-ML comrades who attended our very first AGM yesterday. A very extensive discussion was had on the challenges of taking Marxism-Leninism and embedding it within the working class of our region. All comrades who attended made valuable contributions to the discussion and I feel more proud than ever of being in our party and of working to build it in the region I grew up in. We have a tough road ahead of us and our enemies can sometimes appear might but with the right education, discipline and organisation we can overcome them. When the working class of Britain start to grasp the weapon of Marxism-Leninism, the sword that will enable them to carry through their own liberation as a class, nothing will be able stop them from chasing out the revolting imperialist ruling class.

Onward to victory comrades!

Growth may be slow and stuttering at first but if you never let up the struggle, if you never choose easy "win" of opportunism, you will see results that will benefit the class struggle immensely.

The North West Branch AGM felt like another strong step forward. Great to see all the comrades and hear their contributions yesterday.

🇸🇾 Jableh: Sunni HTS jihadists hold a march through Alawite-majority city of Jableh on the Syrian coast.

Note that this is occurring while there are systematic sectarian murders against Alawites by HTS jihadists & other jihadist militants.

In 2016, the same terrorist factions carried out a massacre of civilians in Jableh:

May 2016 - twin terrorist bombings targeted the main entrance of the bus station in Jableh city, and another terrorist bombing happened near Jableh Electricity Directorate, on the outskirts of al-Amara residential neighborhood.

A third bombing happened as a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of the emergency department at Jableh National Hospital.

These terrorist bombings left more than 33 people killed and 47 others injured.
