With Syria back in the news, here’s our article from June in which @alarian.muftah.org and @mesbushra.muftah.org reflect on the condition of the new Syrian state and where it’s headed in the future.

Full, un-paywalled article 👇

Is the New Syrian State Revolutionary?

Post-Assad Syria was, in theory, a blank canvas for revolutionary transformation—in reality, its leaders inherited conditions that narrowed the horizon of possibility before the first stroke was made.

Zaid Adhami’s article in the current issue of @muftah.org is a thoughtful reflection on the question of doubt in the context of politics and activism and serves as a fantastic accompaniment to my and @alarian.muftah.org’s article on new Syria. Read it!

Commitment in the Gray

Many praise doubt as a critical virtue—but what happens when skepticism becomes an excuse to waver in the face of injustice? As Gaza burns, intellectual ambivalence becomes a mask for moral evasion.

ICYMI, here is my and @alarian.muftah.org’s article on new Syria in @muftah.org.
I’ve seen subtweets and oblique responses that fail to counter its substance except by appeal to an insinuation of bad faith or, more superficially, calling for “non-Syrians” to STFU.

Is the new Syrian state revolutionary?

In Muftah Magazine's new issue, @alarian.muftah.org &
@mesbushra.muftah.org argue that while post-Assad Syria seemed, in theory, a blank canvas for revolutionary change, its inherited conditions narrowed the horizon of possibility.

If the motivation is in line with mainstream antiblackness and Islamophobia, it is “non-/post-ideological.”

Ideology is what other people have.
