Then I discovered the anarchist revolution of Rojava, which came under attack by ISIS. I dropped everything to go help defend this revolution as my duty. I served 3 and a half months in the frontline then worked in the civil society for the economics committee for more than a year. What I saw there in one year I could not have seen elsewhere in 10 years. Rojava is the most important revolution of this century, and the first proper anarchist revolution. It is the solution for lasting peace in the middle east, and the way forward for our crisis of civilization in the west. "
The YPG aren't anarchists. Anarchists don't 'do' "nations" or "borders". Period. They also don't collude with the military special forces of imperial nations. The Kurds are a 'special kind of stupid' you know? The US keeps screwing them over and over an over again and they just never seem to learn. You'd figure they'd have nted it after the US sold out it's Iran harrassing pets, the PKK and turned them over to the Iraqis for, as the Iraqis said "deprogramming or elimination". Maybe it's because just a little over a hundred years ago, like the Sarts, a tribal group nearly extinguished now, or the Yadzis more currently, they were animist who believed in majick and couldn't escape from a circle drawn around them. They're not quite ready to play with the Big Boys, and eventually they will be either culturally assimilated into Western society as "refugees" or wiped out.

The article said, " Taaki read about how they’d created a functioning, progressive society of more than 4 million people, based on principles of local direct democracy, collectivist anarchy, and equality for women." "Collectivist anarchy"? Uh, isn't that very close to a contradiction in terms? Jim Bell

Relying on the media to correctly describe that which they are entirely unfamiliar with... probably not a good idea. They still probably don't understand simple prediction markets, crypto, cryptocurrency, etc. Do they call [voluntary] contributing to building of roads collectivist? This entire thread quotes only others, so ask them, not me.
