The revolutionary situation in the Middle East. By Juan Carlos Beica

After the Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy in 2008, the worker and popular struggles gave a leap due to the general strikes in Europe and the USA and the insurrections that knocked down several dictatorships during the Arab Spring.

This context and the great international solidarity enabled Palestinians of the String of Gaza defeat the poweful Zionist army, situation that gave a lift on the struggle against the national, racial and sexual oppression worldwide.

For that reason, it is not by chance that after the Palestinian victory, the Mexican assemblies and militias from the north of Syria and Turkey have spread and popularised. These are concrete expressions of the advance of consciousness among wide sectors of the mass.

The effects of the destruction of the Stalinist apparatus and the deep divisions that are taking place in the imperial heights, have strengthened this reality, promoting new revolutions, as the one that it is taken place in Yemen and the one that it is coming by the hand of the Third Palestinian Intifada.

Counter-revolutionary pacts and the law of the mad firefighter

As the imperialist's head, Obama is aware that he does not have this great tool to control the revolutions that was the Stalinism, as his parties have fallen from grace after the revolutionary events of the 90's.

Because of this, since he assumed, he has been  encouraging  the signing of agreements with the counter-revolutionary managements that still remained and have a kind of prestige to deceive  the masses, as the "bolivarianos"from Venezuela, the Castro brothers o the Iranian ayatollahs.

In that way, Obama's closest civil servants have been working during a long time to materialize the so-called "5+1" Pact with Germany, England, Russia, China, France and Iran.

The imperialists reached an agreement with the Shiite authorities to make them "stabilize" the Middle East, as the Zionist army's defeat left the traditional Yankee officer badly wounded and the other sepoy government, Saudi Arabia, has come out badly after having invaded Yemen.

As a consecuence of these agreements, war against ISIS within Iraq's territory is practically in the Iranian general's hands that apart from this, have the control of Lebanon and a big part of the Syrian territory, where they are supporting the dictator Bashar Al Assad together with Putin's airplanes.

Far from "stabilizing ", this pact has created more and deeper clashes between the bourgeois factions and the imperialism itself. As a revolutionary leader said in the past: "it is the mad firefighter law", because instead of throwing water to the fire, they are throwing petrol to it.

Obama, the european, yanquee and russian imperialism, the zionists,  the Arab bourgeoisie, the turkish government, Iran, the ISIS and Al Qaeda bands agree in smashing the insurrectionary process in thecMiddle East.

However, instead of working in "teams", they are killing and betraying each other, throwing corpses from one side to the other.  The absence of an "only and strong command"gives the revolution an advantage, because people of the region are confronting an enemy that,in spite of throwing them tons of bombs, is becoming every

time weaker.

This mega crisis in the heights enabled very important triumphs, as the one of the YPG and YPJ militias against the fascist troops of the Islamic State in Kobani.

After this victory and in spite of the conciliatory policy of the PKK and other Kurdish parties, the revolution has entered in Turkey, the country that owns some of the NATO's most important headquarters. There the mass movement has gone out to face the repression and the attacks of Erdogan and his Islamic State agents.

This general dynamic has arrived to remain in the Kurdish Irak and Iran, where worker strikes and democratic demonstrations burst; also in Yemen and Bahrein, whose people is heroically confronting the allies of Saudi Arabia.

All these events put in evidence that the main conflict between Revolution and Counterrevolution today has its epicentre in the Middle East, and that whatever happens there, it will have its effects, positive or negative,  worldwide, therefore the task of the revolutionaries cannot be other than to support the most progressive forces of the region.

From this location, whoever raises the flags of proletarian internationalism must risk to join with the most radical sectors, in order to build a management able to confront the Revolution's enemies and consequently fight for the Socialist Federation of Middle Eastern States.
