Terrorists funded by the White CIA to oppose anti imperialism
Highly overrated by western anarchists. Would not exist if it weren’t literally a State Dept op. Super wack
Allied with Assad to bring unity and security to Syria and end this vicious war: 👍
Remaining allies with the US post-2016 in a Faustian bargain that intensifies the conflict while paving the road to a Turkish/NATO genocide: 👎
In the end Rojava made the right choice, so they’re cool in my book
Rojava literally occupied Syrian wheat fields with the US to starve Syrian cities
The Kurds and their US ally hold the wheat as a trump card in ongoing negotiations.
“Assad needs access to cereal crops in northeast Syria to prevent a bread crisis in the areas of western Syria that he controls,” Syria analyst Nicholas Heras said. “Wheat is a weapon of great power in this next phase of the Syrian conflict,” said Heras, and he added that the Kurds and their US ally “have a significant stockpile of this wheat weapon. It can be used to apply pressure on the (Syrian government), and on Russia, to force concessions in the UN-led diplomatic process.”

Whilst also ethnic cleansing non Kurds
The non-Kurdish population is a mix of Syrian Arabs, Syrian Christians, Syrian Armenians and many of them have suffered under the Kurdish administration, which saw non-Kurds being ethnically cleansed, as they lost homes, shops, and farms at the hands of the SDF.(ibid)
They then got ditched by the US immediately and fed into Turkeys meat grinder. As if no one has ever read even a tiny bit of history of what US does to its “allies” when it is balkanising and using divide and rule tactics to destroy countries it has geopolitical strategic interest in. So not only was allying with the Great Satan a fucking terrible idea it was counter-productive for them
Unsurprisingly I’m not a fan. I remember talking to David Graeber about this on twitter and it was the most pathetic display of mental gymnastics I’ve ever seen. Like if you believe the Kurds had to ally with the Great Satan to create their Kurdish state that’s good and cool. But its then a bit rich if you shit on Actually Existing Socialist countries who had to build their nations under the conditions of opposition to US imperialism rather than as an ally to it.
The framing of that article and your post, which claims that the Kurds are “occupying” the wheat is kind of ridiculous. Prior to the revolution the Kurdish areas of Syria were treated as an internal colony, and the Kurds were forbidden from building any sort of industry or growing crops other than wheat. Rojava isn’t “occupying” Syrian wheat fields, the wheat fields are part of Rojava due to the Syrian government’s own policy.
If the wheat fields are part of Rojava why do they burn them?

that we know way too little bout the arab and assyrian ethnic cleansings
Rojava is very explicitly in favor of multiculturalism and equal rights for all ethnic groups within Syria. The claim that they’ve carried out ethnic cleansing is just propaganda. I think there are probably a lot of instances where the Kurds could’ve handled things in Arab majority areas better, but when you look at their actual policies it becomes clear that they are trying to get all ethnic groups involved with the Autonomous Administration project, they are not trying to create a Kurdish ethnostate.
does arab and assyrian perspectives inform your opinion here? What you say is very fucking clearly against what is being charged by these groups. Whichever official propaganda line or paper policies the kurds carry is completely ridiculous to argue for. We have seen western-backed progressive kurds coast on top of, and ending with the oil profits from, invasions against ba’ath regimes in that region before. a lot of the reason you know what you think you know about kurdistan - west region is because the blood money that has been pumped into media platforms and military industry by their american allies. I wont have western dipshits on chapo discredit assyrians who were the victims of a kurdish-driven genocide hundred years ago when they say those patterns are surfacing again now. we have seen all of this before, it should be obvious, yall… There are feminists with guns fighting terrorists, okay, cool. For a site talking so much about the so called social wing of fascism its funny how this isnt applied to the anglokurdish postimperial enclaves that we keep seeing being built on the backs of brutalized arab states
It’s Going Down podcast interviewed an Assyrian living in Qamishlo, and he claims that the Syrian government stoked ethnic tensions in order to maintain social control and that the Rojava revolution has done a lot to break down ethnic divisions between people:

Your post also ignores the fact that the Kurds themselves have been victims of genocide, forced assimilation, etc.
