Aleppo? Facing a fascistic enemy that has massacred twenty times as many people as ISIS fascists could ever manage, is not full of Good Kurds. It is full of Arabs. And we all know what western imperialist leaders, the far-right, neo-Nazis, Trumpists, racists, and “left-wing anti-imperialists” think of Arabs, especially when they live in Syria. They are all backward, blood-thirsty, barbaric, “jihadis” and “head-choppers,” *all* of the above categories tell us, yes, the left-fascists just as emphatically as any of the others. So those men, women and children, schools hospitals, markets, every sign of life, are not deserving like Good Kurds are. Indeed, the left-fascists are now all over social media, in unison with their far-right co-thinkers, expressing their great joy with the victory of the most violent, most mass-murderous counterrevolutionary massacre of our era, expressing how happy they are that a fascist regime with an airforce, backed by an imperialist state invading with its airforce, have together bombed a whole country to pieces for 5 years

As an anti-fascist organizer, one of the most important principles to recognize is that the enemy is fascism. The other thing to remember is that fascists are tricky and hide behind clever disguises like being a communist. Sometimes, the fascists don't even realize they are fascist! That's how insidious fascism is.

Now, some of the left-fascists out there (I will call them the alt-left for the remainder of this piece) might be asking why would a good anti-fascist call the expulsion of western-backed terrorist groups from Aleppo a counter-revolutionary act. That's simple, because these groups are actually a broad left-wing coalition against Despotism:

Over the past five years, I have written 204 articles about Syria in the hopes that I might convince the left to support the Syrian rebels. The Syrian revolution is our generation’s version of the Spanish Civil War. Unlike the 1930s, however, much of the left today is backing the Syrian equivalent of General Francisco Franco’s fascist military in Spain

My close work with the Bellingcat organization tells me of cries of "No Pasaran!" from the streets of Aleppo as the jackboots march into Aleppo. The crowd-sourced translators are still working on the full translation but you can see the video here:

Louis displays his incredible courage yet again by exposing that the real problem isn't just fascism, it is Stalinism

there is an element of Stalinism that explains why so many on the left back Assad

A good case can be made that crypto-Stalinism exists today. I see displays of it every day on the Internet

Now, you might think that the crypto-Stalinist alt-left might be harmless, but when a website stopped Louis from doing Important Anti-Fascist Work through blog comments, he pointed this out:

I suppose I am fortunate that I am only censored. If these people had state power, I probably would have been tortured or killed by now.

Keep fighting the good fight Louis against fascism, left-fascism, Islamofascism, Syrian fascism, Hezbollah fascism, and crypto-Stalinofascism.

@Obscureobjet @GBabeuf anything sympathetic to Ahmadinejad. I believe Yoshie caught him with an IP trace.
