          Assad is not a communist, but in his conflicts with Western imperialist nations he must be supported because his rule is preferable to that of a Western puppet. All this stems from the dialectical materialist understanding of historical progress and political conflict and is not something people came up with just to be edgy and side with cool non-Western strongmen.

              you're not analysing the situation in it's totality and understanding how Syria got into the situation they are in now and what needs to happen to improve their situation. You look at features of the situation in Syria and extrapolate to these huge moral notions about Assad personally and that prevents you from being able to see the forest from the trees, which would be the dialectical understanding. Also, the anti-imperialism I'm talking about has lifted millions of people out of poverty and overthrown the bourgeoise in over a dozen countries.

                  ...but it is actually much more complicated than that, the history of a country and it's trajectory cannot be understood through the biography of a single person, because Syria is not the result of the will of a single despot but of a multitude of historical process. History also has a class character and every political struggle is a class struggle. The agitation for Western style "democracy" represented the class interest of the Western capitalists and would have made the country much worse off (see post Soviet eastern Europe, India, and Latin America for the concrete results of this kind of neoliberal pillaging).
