Syria has long suffered from a chronic illness: the imposition of the ideology of a "leading party of the state and society." 
While it is already disastrous for a political party to claim leadership over the state, the true catastrophe lies in its claim to be the sole leader of society itself.

A party rooted in unilateral ideology—incapable of division, intolerant of political diversity, and blind to differing perspectives—inevitably gave rise to regression, tyranny, and corruption. 

These were the symptoms of that illness, symptoms which eroded national unity and fractured the Syrian social fabric.

What is even more troubling is that this illness has not remained confined to the one-party regime and its affiliates.

It has seeped deep into Syrian political thinking—so deeply that it has become a societal doctrine rather than a passing affliction.

We believe that the solution begins with changing this very mentality, which has become embedded in the Syrian consciousness and structural psyche. 

Reforming our present and safeguarding our future requires this transformation.

 “The founding members believe that change and reform are twin objectives necessary to advance all national matters. 
Such progress cannot be achieved by any one party, movement, bloc, group, or council in isolation.

It must be realized through cooperation, complementarity, equality, and fair competition—without exclusion, marginalization, superiority, domination, or coercion, whether ideological, physical, or psychological.”

We believe in the importance of pluralism as an organic product of Syrian society throughout history—an outcome of its collective social experience, human development, and evolving civil behavior. 
Pluralism is a pillar of sound national progress. 
Despite stark differences in opinions and positions, exclusionary tendencies remain alien to Syria’s identity.

In any exclusionist approach, there are no real winners—only collective loss.

We recognize the urgent need to carve new channels into Syria’s parched soil and to weave stronger networks among its citizens so that all Syrians can benefit from the nation’s resources, share in its expertise, and contribute to its energies—if only we can integrate those capabilities in a way that serves the nation and supports its people.

We firmly believe in respecting pluralism in all its forms, and in rejecting unilateral thinking that denies diversity and attempts to impose a single mold upon everyone.

We view diversity and pluralism not as weaknesses, but as signs of cultural richness and civilizational depth.

It is not a static or rigid model, as some might suggest, but rather a state of continuous renewal that reflects both authenticity and modernity while embracing the future.

We believe that unilateral thinking and the rejection of difference have led to today’s zero-sum relationships between Syrians. 
Each faction claims exclusive ownership of the truth, supported by its grip on state resources and levers of power—dragging Syria into an open-ended conflict.

We believe that agreeing on clearly defined national goals may serve as a harmonizing framework—one that can reconcile differences, unify fragmented efforts, and lead to a roundtable of dialogue, not discord.

A table that excludes no one, unites Syrians without conditions and rejects the toxic culture of mutual accusations. 
Around such a table, a genuine national alignment can emerge, paving the way for a Syrian-led solution, based on “no victor, no vanquished,” where the sole winner is the homeland itself.

We are convinced there is no alternative to the cooperation of all national forces. Continuing with the current state of unilateralism and political individualism will only ensure the survival of the Assad regime and the fall of everyone else—forever.
This is the heart of the Syrian political crisis. 
As the saying goes:
 “We neither reached the land nor spared the camel’s back.”
