All those Closeted shitlib, Shitlib & Fashlib morons in Empire who were talking about egg prices & somehow hoping that will make Nazis unpopular, well, Nazis & Closeted Nazis dont give a fuck about it.
They care more about humiliating & harming others. Humiliation is the point. Keeping the weak in their place is the point. Persecution is the point.
All bullshit "Worker Solidarity" politics (erasing all other real oppression characteristics, and demand all of the subsume everything into artificially constrained worker identity) leads only here. The "worker solidarity" people, who are unwilling to confront Nazis from dominant segments, are & will be completely unprepared for Nazism, when it starts entrenching & strengthening itself.
Many of the proponents of "worker solidarity" people will even join Nazis once they realize Nazis have taken over everything & they dont face as much heat as those other people, because many of them belong to the dominant segment themselves. At that point, even if you want to build Anti-Nazi groups, the pool of people available to recruit has already diminished significantly from dominant segment of society, as large number of people already see they get better deal from Nazism than opposing Nazism. So, they become Nazis themselves.
This is one reason (not the only reason) why OG Nazis too were able to convince large segments of "German" society, to let them target each group, one at a time, till the regime reached the ultimate stages it has reached.
This public humiliation ritual, terror & harm by dominant segment of society against targeted groups is all Nazis need to be able to recruit more Nazis into the fold & make themselves popular. Nation–State & its concentration of power at the top, is a must for Nazism to establish its foothold, grow & execute much larger Nazi plans successfully.
This behavior will only escalate from public humiliation rituals & "legal" kidnappings, to much higher level in stages.
Based on current trajectory Empire is in, soon this will evolve into cataloging all random crimes involving white people where the alleged perpetrator is not white, and those alleged crimes will be boosted into white people's timeline in West (esp Empire).
This goes on for a while till street level Nazis acquire strength & over a period of time, there will be physical attacks against minorities & some of these will escalate to killings too. These attacks/killings is what builds them more credibility within Nazi circles & those who are closeted Nazis, the Nazis will be presented as the saviors of dominant community members, the Nazi manufactured (always State enabled & Capital funded) large scale friction will be painted as dominant population being under constant attack by weaker segments in society (despite being systematically persecuted in society).
This a time tested strategy of Nazism, successfully field tested in so many societies. Our criminal & authoritarian regime installed a Nazi regime (from my community) in our shithole, with many decades of experience with this sort of shit. I have seen exactly same shit playing out successfully in many other shitholes too.
There is no guarantee that the trajectory is the same in every shithole incl Empire, but this simple Nazi path is a time tested & field tested strategy, proven to work in many other shitholes.

We will know what each of our society actually is, when there is an unanticipated rupture with the past.
When there is such a rupture, some start constructing a fictional past that was great & long for it, while others see that the rupture is showing us what past has always been & what past has successfully hidden from us.
Later kind learns from rupture, while the former doesnt. Former kind not only not learn, rather double downs on it & want to restore the same past that led to the present.
One needs to have contempt for the former kind as they represent everything wrong with past, because even tho its a rupture (if it exposed underlying rot ⇒ current state is worse than previous state) even if its bad, is trying to teach us a lesson & those who long for the past that led to rupture dont want to learn any lesson (or) learn wrong lessons.
When we are in the situation where there is a rupture, some useful set of questions to ask are:
What kind of rotten system/s would bring us to the state we are in now?
Why should we long for the same shit that brought us to current state, rather than identify & work for a new & better state that would never bring us to the bad situation we currently are in?
What more did we not know about our past (or) successfully hidden from us, that led to the ruptured present?

# Signature of an agreement SDF - Provisional Government
On Monday, March 10, SDF commander Mazloum Abdi and Syrian President Ahmad al-Shar’a sign an agreement formalizing what was already discussed and confirming cooperation towards a shared security framework. It ensures Kurdish political rights and paves the way for integration of major institutions. DAANES institutions back the agreement gladly, hoping that it will put an end to the different conflicts like the clashes erupted on the coast, will safeguard rights of Kurds, and will enable the return of IDPs and refugees to Afrin and other occupied territories. In the following days, the UN and relevant international state actors, such as Gulf states, European states, and US welcomed the SDF-Syrian government agreement.
# Aftermatch of Coastal insurgence
After few days of coordinated insurgent attacks on the coastal region of Latakia, the stronghold of Assad loyalists, forces of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) are, more or less,in control of the situation. Several insurgents had been killed or arrested in wide security operations, as well as several fighters linked to the MoD, mostly caught in ambushes by the insurgents. Many civilians, mostly Alawite population, have been killed or forced to flee looking for shelter in the Russian military base. Security operations continue, combing the insurgent areas. Insurgent attacks, even if not in the scale that they had been, also continue. Interim president al-Shara made declaration briefly acknowledged accusations of extrajudicial killings by HTS-led forces and promised that those who “exceeded the powers of the state” will be held accountable. Shara also appointed two Alawites and several competent, professional judges to a committee to investigate the crimes committed by government troops.
# Provisional Constitution of Syria
Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara signed a provisional constitution on March 13, claiming to initiate a five-year transition period. The document is based on Islamic jurisprudence, remarking that the president of Syria must be Muslim. The constitution defends the freedoms of opinion, expression, information, publication and press, also defends religious freedom. The Constitutional Committee emphasized that the document ensures a separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. However, it ensures a lot of powers to the president, who will appoint a third of the "Peoples Assembly" and select a committee that will appoint the other two thirds. The president will also select the seven members of the Supreme Constitutional Court, also have right to declare state of emergency with the approval of the National Security Council, formed by the minsters of Defense, Interior, Intelligence and Foreign affairs. This grants al-Shara a massive influence over the formation and direction of the Syrian state. The SDC and other institutions of the DAANES, including the opposition party of ENKS, made declarations rejecting this constitution and denouncing how it perpetuates the presidential model of the Assad regime, not reflecting the plurality of Syria. Druze authorities also made declarations in the same direction.
# Turkey continue on the offensive
After the agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, there was a question of how much this implies the end of hostilities between SNA and SDF. But clearly nothing really changed on the ground. Turkey continued their attacks with planes and drones over the Eufrates region around Tishreen dam, were the civilian protests still ongoing. There have been renewed attacks with heavy weapons on differnet points of the M4 like Til Temir and Ain Issa frontlines. Turkish foreign minister made declarations declaring that will monitor closely the implementations of the agreements with SDF, calling to make no concessions for any attempt of self-administration.
# Continuing repatriations from Al-Hol camp to Iraq
After Iraq halted repatriations from Iraqi citizens in al-Hol camp for a short period, and following coordinated efforts between DANNES and the Iraqi state, more than 600 Iraqi former arrested had been allowed to return to Iraq. This also comes after The provisional government announced that they are ready to take control of the ISIS prisons currently under control of SDF.
# Points of agreement signed by SDF and the provisional government:
Political Participation – Full representation and rights for all Syrian communities, including Kurds, in state institutions based on merit rather than sectarian or ethnic background. Kurdish Rights – Recognition of the Kurdish community as an integral part of Syria, ensuring constitutional rights and citizenship protections. Security and Stability – A ceasefire across Syrian territories, aiming to reduce hostilities and facilitate political dialogue. Institutional Integration – The merging of all civil and military institutions in northeast Syria into the national framework, including border crossings, airports, and energy resources. Refugee Return – Guarantees for the safe return of displaced Syrians to their homes under government protection. Sovereignty Protection – Joint efforts to counter external threats, including armed groups and foreign interventions that destabilize Syria. Combating Extremism – Enhanced cooperation in counterterrorism efforts against ISIS and other extremist factions. Ending Division and Sectarian Rhetoric – Rejecting hate speech and ensuring national reconciliation.
# Evaluation
The recent agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, happening at the same time than the massacres against Alawite population, leaves a bitter taste. The agreement brings nothing new, nothing more than what was already discussed. It is the formalization on paper to reach common agreements for Syria. It takes a step to make sure that no national-scale decisions and talks are made without people of northeastern Syria. Still, it is hard to see the future of the revolution through the large scale moves of state-level diplomacy.
At the same time, we need to ask ourselves: what would we like to see? What is the alternative? What could be done in this situation? Is there any better way to proceed, something that aligns better with anarchists values and respects the will and the needs of the people of north-east Syria? Honestly, these are very difficult questions.
We need to reflect what all this means. What it means for the people here, wearied by war, with the Turkish threats of a full scale invasion still looming? What it means for the revolution, with the collapse of the Assad regime but with a new authotitarian goverment rising over the same structures of nation-state? And also what it means for us, revolutionary anarchists who committed to support and defend this revolution?
In comparison with everything around it and beyond, NE Syria is clearly the most exciting political proposal in the region. Can it survive the war, the lack of resources, the attacks from all sides, the cooptation Can it avoid collapse and annihilation? Can people defend what they fought and died for, and live their lives in dignity? Time is desperately needed to ensure positive answers to these questions. And the moves we see in past weeks do buy the revolution some time. What we are trying to do here defies th logic of capitalist modernity, and this is not an easy thing to do. And as every revolution, whatever happens will bring lessons for the next ones to come.
I'm only 24, turning 25 this year, and I'm glad I found my way early on. Some people might think @nsf_iaa is just some propaganda group, but to me, they're true to anarcho-syndicalist ideas.
I might not see an anarcho-syndicalist society in my lifetime, but I'm happy to be part of it by joining @nsf_iaa. Even if they're not as big as they used to be back in the 1920s, every little bit helps in making another anarcho-syndicalist's day brighter.
I love anarcho-syndicalist ideas and I won't apologize for them. I hate how money, bosses, political parties, and hierarchical systems control our lives.
What I really want is to make things based on what people actually need, not just for profit. I'd rather create stuff for my local community, not some big company that doesn't care about us. I want to work with my union to make decisions that benefit us, not just some distant corporation.
I've never been a fan of bosses or systems where someone tells you what to do. I've never voted for a political party, and I'm not into monarchies either. And while I use money because it's necessary in our capitalist world, I've always felt weird about it. The thing is, no one knows what I need better than I do myself.
All these things are exactly what we anarchists and syndicalists are fighting against.
Anarchists, especially those aligned with anarcho-syndicalism, seek to dismantle all forms of hierarchy, to create a society where individuals and communities can organize themselves freely, particularly in workplaces and communities, without external control.
Syndicalists, especially those aligned with anarcho-syndicalism, focus on building democratic unions that let workers manage their workplaces through solidarity and mutual aid, aiming for a society where resources are distributed based on need.
In the end, it's about building a society where workers manage their own workplaces and communities through democratic unions and solidarity, free from the control of bosses and the state, and where resources are shared based on need, not profit.
Despite sharing some of their values, such as those related to computer operating systems, privacy, security, decentralization, and direct democracy, I believe that any political party, whether it's communist, pirate, fascist, liberal, or anything in between, ultimately leads to corruption and suppression.
I want workers to be in charge of their own workplaces, working with their union. The idea is that they produce what their local community needs, and the decisions are made by the workers themselves through democratic unions. This way, the people who actually do the work get to say what happens at their workplace. It's about communities taking care of their own needs directly.
Over the past five years, I've been on a journey of self-discovery, and I've ended up as a radical leftist anarcho-syndicalist who loves Linux and values decentralization!
