This is indeed a very interesting question that we may not be able to answer in 500 characters, but in the last paragraph of our analysis of our daily updates we were reflecting bout that. Those analysis are being published in the blog of Tekosina Anarsist, you can check it from there:

Oh, that's very useful, thanks a lot!

Our resources are very limited at the moment, since time behind a computer is time we are not in the front lines, that now that things calmed down a bit is possible but maybe in the near future is not.

And about anarchism in Syria, we are organizing something about it! it is not yet public because is been coordinated with different comrades from different places, and we expect it to be public very soon :)
