    Extremely funny you say this in this situation since there is a group here fighting for freedom and democracy but they’re stinky reds, so you’ll hate them.

    The other things you said can be accepted as opinions, but here I’ll have to correct you: In this conflict, Bashar al-Assad is the socialist (Ba’athist), and the group “fighting for freedom and democracy”, as you put it, is Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham. They are a far-right islamist religious fundamentalist terrorist organization.

    So essentially nobody in Syria is fighting for any sensible definition of democracy or freedom.

      I was talking about AANES, not the “socialist” Assad or the clearly religious authoritarian groups in the area.
