It's a double edged sword. Assad gone is a good thing, however it remains to be seen that it's a good thing for the people of Syria, only time will tell. But you can't cling onto a shitty dictator on the off chance that things might be worse. The people of Syria certainly seem to be happy about it.

From the Tankie perspective, they couldn't give a flying fuck about the people of Syria, only what it means for the "unity" of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.
