What position did Socialist Alternative take over the Syrian uprising? I was involved in editing a book written in opposition to StWC and campism over Syria, and a member of their leadership ordered a box of them. I hope the arguments there had some influence on their development.

Socialist Alternative (SAlt) framed the uprising within Arab Spring solidarity, aligning with anti-imperialist stances and prioritizing grassroots revolt over regime stability. Sectarian critics like the WSWS accused them of indirectly aiding US aims by supporting rebels, but SAlt rejected direct intervention.
