Spartacist League Forms Syrian Battalion in Support of ISIS

RAQQAH, SYRIA Marking the first time since the Bolivian National Revolution that Trotskyists have rallied in armed defence of their values, members of the Spartacist League of Britain have travelled to "the Caliphate" in order to defend ISIS from "imperialism".

The formation of the so-called "Hammer Battalion" follows an announcement earlier this week of Spartacist League support for ISIS military victory.
"I can't wait to have a chance to go to the slave market, I'm going to buy a 10-year-old Yazidi girl. They're imperialist stooges", explained "Abu-Bakr al-Permanenti".
His comrade, "Haydar al-Fourthinterationali", was selling newspapers on a Raqqah street corner when he agreed to speak with us about the experience thus-far.
"We've been having some trouble with ISIS's line on North Korea, but mostly we're in agreement. We both hate the Soviet Union and the US with a rage that could be characterised as blinding', we both believe in some perfect worldwide moment of enormous change that many others from similar backgrounds characterise as fanatical', and of course, we both enjoy raping small children."
"Muhammad al-Britani", another UK volunteer who directly joined ISIS last year to take part in the fight against the PYD and Assad, a clear-cut anti-imperialist struggle if ever there was one, discussed the integration of the new Trotskyist battalion.
"We're actually learning a lot from them. They told us all about how they agree Stalin was a senseless murderer, and about Kronstadt", reported "al-Britani", declaring his "new-found respect for the Jewish infidel, Trotsky".
However, a senior ISIS source has hinted that not everyone in the movement is supportive of the group's actions: "They spend more time condemning others for not being ISIS enough than actually fighting. Three of our best men were killed last month in a fight over whether the Soviet Union was a deformed' or degenerated' worker's state."
Responding to the widespread belief among the UK Left that the usually provocative Spartacist League had gone altogether too far this time, battalion leader "Uthman bin Stephen" had this to say: "ISIS is fighting US imperialism, the greatest threat to the people of Syria, including the Kurds who they are bent on destroying. The PYD, on the other hand, have always been under Washington's command, and that's why Washington rewarded them with control of Northern Iraq after the 2003 invasion."
An attempt at correction was rebuffed: "Oh that's the KDP? Look, a Kurd's a Kurd. You ever see a Kurd fighting Israel? Didn't think so. Even if it's just taking some guns, their objective role is clear, expanding US power and influence, same as Assad."
"Oh, Assad's with Russia? Well, they should stop fighting him."
Losing patience, our driver pointed out that ISIS was fighting Assad, and the PYD had declared their willingness to work with Assad under the right conditions, and had been in touch with Moscow. "Bin Stephen" was unmoved.
"Look, the point is, this is quite edgy shit. I've really pissed off my Labour-voting relatives with this. I'm not gonna go supporting some left-wing national liberation movement allied with communists in Turkey fighting Islamists, because that might actually cause British people who don't burn US flags in their free time to feel sympathy for socialism."
A joint response was issued by the MLKP, the MKP, the TKP/ML, and the Communist Party of Kurdistan: "As anti-revisionists from Turkey/North Kurdistan, we've never actually had to speak to a Trotskyite in real life. We finally understand why we're supposed to hate them now."
