It's besides the point. It amazing to me that even after witnessing all the horror perpetrated by the US military in the name of "fighting dictators", or "human rights" or "protecting women".. the left still wants to litigate the elected officials of other countries.
He's probably about as corrupt as western leaders, maybe a bit worse. Doesn't mean we should invade or do anything but minding our own fucking problems first.
Also please stop characterising geopolitical issues as a fight between good or bad. (Saudi Arabia is our friend it doesn't get much more evil than that)
Good or bad is merely a tool the imperialist use to get you to rationalise their latest exploitative adventure (in this case oil and gas pipelines).
he's not a socialist at all. Whatever ba'athism was pre-saddam or hafez al-assad is irrelevant as it turned into a non-marxist "socialism" based on arab nationalism and nothing any modern marxist would recognize as socialist.
Saddam didnt believe in class conflict for fuck sakes lmfao like seriously.
The assads are a run of the mil dictator family with no discernible socialist qualities whatsoever.
