Syria’s Labor Communist Party, a rich political history
The Story of the Labor Communist Party of Syria (1976-1992): A Chapter of the History of the Left in Syria (al-Maraya, 2020)
Thursday 3 June 2021, by Joseph Daher
Rateb Shabo, a Syrian leftist political activist, was jailed for 16 years in the 1980s and 1990s including three years in the government’s notorious Tadmur Military Prison for his membership in the opposition Labor Communist Party [1]. His recent book, The Story of the Labor Communist Party of Syria (1976-1992): A Chapter of the History of the Left in Syria (al-Maraya, 2020), is a must-read window into progressive political resistance to the Assad regime from the 1970s to 1990s.
