WILL we remember the victory in Syria as a long overdue turning point in the struggle against imperialism and, perhaps, capitalism? Does the defeat of US and Nato machinations and their surrogate combatants in Syria inspire the people of the Middle East to transcend the divisive limits of sectarian grievances and cultural manipulation? Are we seeing the decline of artificially stoked and cruelly fuelled national and religious divisiveness and a turn towards economic justice?
Certainly some respected, insightful commentators such as Patrick Cockburn and Conn Hallinan believe that the Middle East is experiencing unexpected, major realignments and a decline in sectarian conflict.
Cockburn suggests that the decline of sectarianism is accompanied by “uprisings against corruption,” though he says far too little about the connection.
