I lost the plot back when Chomsky broke with tradition and said it was a good thing the US was dropping bombs in support of the Kurds… I stopped following along then, but I don’t think even then I understood that conflict.

Is there a good write-up somewhere that outlines the basics of this?

I’ve found some document from the PKK about “Democratic Confederation” which my anarchist acquaintances really talk up, but I also thought they were ML’s?

    Rojava got in trouble with the Official Left (by which I mean Westerners who never participated in a revolution) because they were obliged to form a temporary alliance with the United States in order to survive.

        hello! Syrian here who is more in touch than you ever will be with what Syrians on the ground, both Kurds and non-Kurds, actually want/need. how does it feel to have the same view on Syrian partition as the CIA?

        Nothing to respond to in this. You’re asking me my feelings??

        if you could also list the revolutions you have participated in, we’d all appreciate it I think. thanks.

        I’m not doxxing myself just because you claim the CIA would “appreciate it”.
