Ok, so if you ever get into a kerfuffle with an anarkiddy about state socialism or “tankies”, then use this statement:
Anarchism is unfeasible because the lack of a state makes a nation vulnerable because it doesn’t have a centralized military to protect itself. Marx’s “stateless classless moneyless” society is only possible if the whole world is under one state socialist government first. However, what anarchists want is to go directly from capitalism to stateless socialism, which is impossible.
No, not at all actually. Western Leftists just decided to back Rojava without knowing much about it, then decided to call it “anarchist” to suit their political arguments.
Kurdistan is divided between two political groups, that manifest themselves between the YPG (and YPJ) and the Peshmerga. The YPG follows a more ‘democratic’ variation of Socialism, upholding the social and economic values of Socialism, but still believe in the state. They might have Anarchist elements, but the YPG aren’t Anarchists. Then, the Peshmerga of Iraqi Kurdistan, are much more conservative. I couldn’t tell you much about their economic values, but I can tell you they’re shitty about social values. Neither major faction is Anarchist, though.
it was just me who did that and i call it that way because it satisfies my anarchist desires of “Bottom-up” organization which is one core reason i am anarchist. Notice that there are many different people calling themself anarchist.
And yes of course i don’t like peshmerga.
