A cogent argument here that the Syrian rebellion is well embarked on phase 2 of a classic Maoist 'people's war' strategy. The only problem that I can see on first reading is that this requires quite strongly centralised strategic direction, and most accounts of the rebellion seem to say or imply that this is precisely what's missing. Though of course we could conclude from the article that it's the reporting that's missing this dimension.
