Syrian uprising crushed from all sides

The uprising in Syria, as part of the regional Arab Spring, consisted of nationwide demonstrations against increasing levels of inequality, corruption and repression, by working class movements. The brutal response of the Syrian government, and the subsequent involvement of a range of reactionary and imperialist actors, has led to the destruction of most of the country. The biggest losers have been workers, their families and communities. Nevertheless, there are still working class communities fighting for justice and peace.
