"liberation"
Freedom is when Al-Qaeda, invasion by 
, and 900% bread prices, I guess 
I think I've seen a Twitter post about new Syria's government abandoning "state-led development" and turning to neoliberalism. If that's the case then they're absolutely fucked
syria's new government won't be able to do anything, they will be governing over a broken syria with pieces bitten out of it and foreign imperialist interests dominating the power vacuum. it doesn't matter what they are or what they try to do, they aren't in charge
It will get so bad that eventually more civil war happens anyway. eventually someone will pull a houthi anyway or they all just starve because israel is destroying their infrastructure while the Euphrates is drying up and farmland is being lost like crazy due to climate change.
TBH, Assad already had largely abandoned state-led development. The transitional government is just trying to say all the right things required to please the west and get those sanctions removed.
The economic future of Syria pretty much hinges on wether it manages to stabilize, wether the americans drop sanctions, wether the new government recovers control over most of the country's natural resources (meaning the oil controlled by the US/SDF), how much destruction and instability Israel leaves in its wake, how well turkish industry does in making up for shortfalls, and so on. But I don't think state-led developmentism was ever on the cards. If it was it could have happened under Assad and via Russia and Iran.
900%? Why not 9,000%!
Freedom is here
Literal conquest of bread hours
Free bread? No, free dom(ination by foreign capital)
Line go up world more good!
