The Syrian Communist Party (SCP), the bitter adversary of the Baath Party in the late 1950s, was in 1987 the second largest legal political party in Syria and an important constituent element of the NPF.
In the early 1980s, the SCP was temporarily banned by Assad; however, in 1986 it was restored to favor, partially as a concession to the Soviet Union.
In the mid-1980s, the SCP stressed its political and ideological independence from the Syrian regime and operated to a limited extent as a genuine opposition party.

 Reports of Arab Delegates to the VIIth congress of the Comintern - part II
The one-sided orientation of comrade Ferdi to the effect that Communists, by means of unmasking the national-reformists, can call the masses to struggle against imperialism contradicts the line adopted recently by the Communist Parties of the Arab countries, in favour of broadly taking up the tactics of the united front in the national liberation movement.
The party was isolated in the narrow circle of Jewish workers, rejecting work among the Arab workers, rejecting the liberation movement of the Arab masses.
However, as a result of the activity of the party it was possible to establish several cadres of Arab comrades, who, in subsequent years would find themselves tempered in the most difficult situations, who could become leaders in the party, the trade unions, and in the national movement.

 Dossier: Riyad al-Turk (September 2001)
Turk, a native of Homs, was born in 1930.
Although Turk was freed when the Nasserite regime was toppled in 1961, the new Syrian regime was suspicious of the Communist party and did not permit it to operate openly.
In 1972, however, Bakdash brought the Communist party into the newly-formed National Progressive Front, an umbrella organization comprising the ruling Ba'ath party and its political allies.

Comrade Khalid Bakdash, secretary general of the Syrian Communist Party at the time, told me that it was not appropriate to attack Soviet journalists because they were Lenin’s sons.
Among the impossible conditions set by that committee were that the party should call itself the Egyptian Communist Party and accept all 21 conditions laid down by the Comintern, and that the party should include in its ranks any communist living in Egypt, which meant opening party doors to a foreign majority.
At the Sixth Comintern Conference held in 1928, the Egyptian communists revolted against the Stalinist idea that the national bourgeois (in the second-degree colonies like Egypt) had thrown the flag of freedom in the mud, and should therefore be fought by a newly established revolutionary bloc of workers and peasants.

Bakdash - from his initial revolutionary phase to his later revisionist phases, was closely involved with the question of the relationship between bourgeois nationalism in the Middle East, and communism.
The party's basic principles were described as: the unity and freedom of the Arab nation within its homeland; and a belief in the 'special mission of the Arab nation', the mission being to end colonialism and promote humanitarianism.
By 1957, the Syrian party was one of the strongest in the Middle East.

It consisted of the Baath Party and four non-Baathist groups: the Syrian Arab Socialist Union, a Nasserite group under Jamal Atassi; the Socialist Union Movement under Jamal Sufi; the Arab Socialist Party, composed of the followers of the Baathist Akram Hawrani; and the Syrian Communist Party, under Khalid Bakdash.
Syrian forces acquitted themselves better against the Israeli forces in the October 1973 War than in the 1967 one; in fact, the war was widely regarded in Syria as a "victory" and helped to boost Syrian morale substantially.
Additional opposition came from expatriate Syrian politicians, mostly Sunni Baath politicians of the pre-1966 era who opposed the military and sectarian nature of the government and its drift away from Arab nationalist policies.

 Ya Libnan | Syrian opposition leader Riad Al Turk demands reform | Live News from Lebanon
Riyad al-Turk, the 71-year-old secretary general of Syria's outlawed Communist Party Political Bureau (CPPB) is perhaps the most widely-respected authentic communist in the Arab world.
After studying law at Damascus University, he joined the Syrian Communist party, headed by Khalid Bakdash, in 1955 and quickly established himself as one of its major ideologues and a writer for its paper, Al-Nur.
Turk was held in total isolation in an underground cell and, according to Amnesty International, "tortured throughout his detention" for the next seventeen years.1 After a particularly intense torture session in late 1987, Turk fell into a coma for 25 days in the intensive care unit of the prison.

The Socialist Party of Great Britain (Reconstituted), also known as the SPGBR, is a tiny Marxist party founded in 1991 after its members were expelled from the Socialist Party of Great Britain for refusing to adopt certain party-wide resolutions.
The Party claims the original SPGB has deviated from the strict anti-reformism principles it established in 1904, and has from time to time made accusations of infiltration by anarchists and other non-socialist interests.

These conflicting views of the conflict--one viewing it as a conflict of two national movements, the other seeing it as a conflict between a national movement and a foreign colonial phenomenon--cannot be overlooked if one wishes to find a solution to the conflict.
Two consequences derive from this option: regional domination lays the ground for segregation and confrontation which results in a permanent state of alert and readiness to react to outbursts of anger and acts of resistance.
The result was that the PLO was now split into two currents: the pro-state trends (Fateh’s majority, the DFLP, and the communists), and the "rejectionists" led by the Popular Front, and the opposition tendency in Fateh led by Abu Musa and the pro-Syrian Palestinian Ba’thists.

Although historians know that intelligence services had sought to topple the Syrian regime in the autumn of 1957, this is the first time any document has been found showing that the assassination of three leading figures was at the heart of the scheme.
The document, approved by London and Washington, named three men: Abd al-Hamid Sarraj, head of Syrian military intelligence; Afif al-Bizri, chief of the Syrian general staff; and Khalid Bakdash, leader of the Syrian Communist party.
Concern about the increasingly anti-western and pro-Soviet sympathies of Syria had been growing in Downing Street and the White House since the overthrow of the conservative military regime of Colonel Adib Shishakli by an alliance of Ba'ath party and Communist party politicians and their allies in the Syrian army, in 1954.
