The German Ideology

 "Syrian rebels tried to get me killed," says Channel 4 correspondent*

 Very stupid if true. On CNN last night they were talking of people fleeing the fighting between the army and rebels (as if they were equal threats), it only takes one incident like this to endorse a picture of a struggle between two equally [il]legitimate forces, just as it would only take one actual sectarian massacre by opposition supporters (say in response to the one in Qubair) for the government and the Russians to say that's all there is to the anti-Assad forces. They do that already, but they'll start to sound believable.

 Here's Marx on how the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas.
