Description:... Left wing anti-imperialism today exists as an immense accumulation of platitudes and stupidities-in terms of the bare facts, in terms of social reality, and in terms of the objectives lying beyond the theory. The problem goes all the way down, so that older travesties of the left's platforms are happily being travestied all over again. Consider the emergence of 'Stalinism without Stalinism'. None of its positions are associated with genuine beliefs. This book skewers all such illusions in the course of describing the real dynamics of the Syrian revolution and civil war. Contributors include Muhammad Idrees Ahmad, Javaad Alipoor, Mark Boothroyd, Jospeh Daher, Sam Charles Hamad, Shiar Neyo, Louis Proyect and Eyal Zisser.
