The PKK and the Revolution in Kurdistan has me really hopeful at both beating these Daesh scumbags and creating the foundation of what comes after all this.
More hopeful than I've been in years. These people have the potential to create an free society in the 21st Century. That should create a lot of inspiration for the working classes around the world, fueling the flames that Ferguson and Garner have started.
Of course, i'm very afraid that this does have the possibility of heading down the road of the Catalonian Revolution where amidst the Civil War the Stalinists and Francoists crushed the anarchists while the world turned a blind eye.
At the very least we're not going to see the international community side with the radical Kurds. They'd rather lose the region to ISIL than have a revolution spread through the region.
That's why i talk so much about this stuff that it comes out of some peoples ears here. But it's our responsibility to spread the word about this and drum up support among the people. With instant communication I think that's an easily achievable goal, so let's do it!
Rojava won't survive isolated and since the left, radical left and Kurdish population is essentially united now at least in some aspects..They won't.
I think that even conservative people should support the Western Kurds, even if they are far left. If only because a women shooting a Jihadi slaver in the face is a pretty badass image no matter what side of the spectrum you're on.
