It's The System That Sucks

Noticed that the classical definitions of Left and Right are dissolving more and more?

One example. The struggle against the dictators Gaddafi and Assad was/is still counterstriked by anti-imperialist Leftists because both tyrants relied/rely upon an - admittedly crude - definition of socialism. Gaddafi is defeated in the meantime and the Libyans are on their way to experience the complex roadmap of democratic principles. The Syrians are still struggling against their stubborn self-declared leader. Viewed on the surface the naive fallacy concludes therefore:

Assad regime + socialists + anti-imperialists + Russia +China

vs

Syrian revolutionaries + republicans + democrats + Western world

Hm .. now where stands Israel? Well of course at the SyRevo side.

Does it?

After attacking Gaza a global outcry was heard whose voices also came from the Syian revolutionaries and those defending them.

Huh?

That means Israel has to be regarded as .. Assad loyalists?

Quite not. First of all the ruling political class has to be segregated from the public. The Nethanyahu government never opposed fully the Assad regime. Besides som kinky skirmishes - yes, they are - Jerusalem is in secret very glad about the fact having a rock solid dictatorship as neighbor. But the iron curtain the oppressors around the misanthropic family clan of the Assads were keeping up for more than five decades is collapsing. And a new gained freedom of the Syrian people might spill over the borders to .. exactly, Palestine. So Bibi and his ones are not amused about that circumstance because keeping the Palestinians in a state of permanent humiliation is their cemented credo.

Dilemma alert.

A deep trench drew through the SyRevo supporters' front. Those who were on the side of Israel began to argue with those defending the Palestinian cause (probably, and that is my personal opinion, that was one of Nethanyahu's intentions to indirectly back Assad during his delaying decoy. Therefore the condemnation of attacking Gaza by the Syrian state media has no real value). Fortunately some pundits declared that the whole thing is about death threatened civilians doesn't matter at which side of whatever border they stand.

Futher we have to take a closer look at the milkmaid's math sheet: despite some expressions of concern about the regime policy and some public chastisement the Western coalition wasn't able until now to support the revolutionaries with urgently needed help (I'm primarily not talking about weapons). Since Assad has spoken out the Salafi spell the international alliance hides itself behind tht napless argument. The geostrategical let's-wait-and-have-a-cup-of-tea was and is not working in favor of the revolutionaries.

Probably a new current is rising up in these times resisting both, the traditional right and the traditional left, realizing that each and all is connected and depending on each other. So are also the systems:

a vs b

red vs blue

black vs white

left vs right

To abolish the systemism as such with a finger snip is nearly impossible. But to brand the systemism as a hurdle on a longer way achieving togetherness instead of division could be an important basic step.
