Clarification request, by strict theory are the people you describe petitboog or labor aristocracy?
If, hypothetically speaking...

They're both really just terms for "workers I don't like" if you use them lazily enough. To that extent, I think labor aristocracy is the better term since it distinguishes labor aristocracy from people you can properly call petite bourgeois.
Easton Ross
Programmers and other highly paid professionals in the US are petty booj by definition I think, not just labor aristos. Their salaries can rival Wall Street bankers (IE, they are not exploited at all, they are receiving a higher labor value than they put in), they invest heavily in the stock market (and make good gains), and programmers get all this money by exploiting end users through data collection.
Sure, not all programmers and professionals are making Silicon Valley bucks, but a lot of them in the USA are.
Eli Edwards
That's correct. In fact, there are two communist parties in Syria, both of which recognize the government of Bashar al-Assad as the only legitimate government of Syria.

foreign powers with an interest in destabilizing the region
were they to somehow gain the advantage in the conflict i could maybe see some displaced mid-level silicon valley people and working professionals flipping to protect themselves
0% chance of someone like musk or bezos. they'd either cut and run well ahead of time or fund the opposition from abroad
Bentley Morales
Rojava is anti imperialist, stinky head. They utilize the U.S the same way based Bashar uses Hezbollah
Ryan Kelly
I could see that for musk except he's openly stated that he's a socialist in reference to his endgame being full communism
If you cut him a deal where in exchange for implementing cockshot's theories in practice he got unlimited resources to establish a colony on mars, he'd take it and make it work

Would Hezbollah not turn on Bashar if it benefited what Iran, as it's politicians see as it's backyard they must turn?
Robert Allen
Hezbollah's Iranian ties are changing and shrinking. A significant portion of aid now comes from Russia and co as a counterweight to US funded Jihadism, hence why Hezbollah is now displaying its self as a less sectarian and more western presentable organization than back when Iran was their sole benefactor.
