Also, PissPigGranddad's past is pretty questionable. He was involved with a really edgy punk band that may or may not have been involved with far-right politics and anti-Arab sentiments. Check this guy's twitter for more: twitter.com/RedKahina
Some sample lyrics from their shitty band, Warkrime: "my pussy lib parents shame me for envoying imperial genocide! Woe is me"
That FT article seems to be merely accurate, not an endorsement. Otherwise don't give a damn about this guy. The Kurds have many hands on them: American, Israeli, Syrian and Russian. Given their geographical position, they are frequently manipulated by outsiders.

That's pretty shit, even for shitty punk bands.

Wait, you didn't know Kurds receive help from outside forces?
I don't know how much you know about playboy heiress molly klein but she's literally the most mental person on twitter, so I wouldn't trust anything she says.
I'm actually an "anti imperialst assado-stalinist" as ancoms would say, but these guys are the absolute worst, if I was a little more paranoid I'd say they where COINTELPRO tbh

Hello, fellow leftist.
No, I don't need to reevaluate shit. I always considered this to be anti-imperialist struggle (i.e. national liberation movement). Even monarchists can be useful there.
He is being deliberately obtuse, for the sake of Shocking Revelation.
So going through that twitter page, it seems they're calling him out both for identifying as Jewish and for being in an edgy band that used Hitler imagery. If he is Jewish, is it really likely that the Hitler imagery wasn't just for shock value?

Didn't Bolsheviks get funding from Germany?

Never forget, the PKK are a terrorist group, according to more or less everyone. When they stop being immediately useful, they will go back to being the bad guys, especially where global capitalists are concerned.

Breitbart in that article acts like the PYD and KRG are the same thing with the same aspirations. Basically "I'm a fucking retard with no knowledge of Syria or Kurds".
lol fuck off OP. Phil Greaves said the ghost of Fidel Castro flew over Aleppo to grant SAA victory lmao. These people are mental.
What future do they imagine in their dreams? all they do is wank over dusty old stalinist agitprop and shitpost on twitter about how must defend the """"anti imperialist""""" behemoths like Assad and Duerte

some pleb speculating over edgy lyrics. I used to be edgy fash, now i'm a socialist. either way i'll give him the benefit of the doubt

I have difficulty condemning the Kurds for what is a pragmatic strategy. They are aware that they are being used. To antagonize the United States would mean their immediate destruction. The world is not a place where you can pick your friends and enemies freely. That is an illusion enjoyed only by those who can choose to associate based on ideology - people who are not at war and can "follow" or "block" their friends and enemies in comfort. "Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past." When my own country was seeking independence, its revolutionaries were frequently accused of being agents of Spain and France. That was not without evidence, because they really did solicit the aid of Spain and France, but that was not an endorsement of Spanish or French imperialism.

not familiar with him, link?
kek, I can't help but like him. Endearingly stubborn
This. How can you blame the PYD for accepting help from any avenue possible when they literally everyone in their immediate territory is hostile to them? Salih Muslim obviously doesn't think the US is helping them because they believe in the ideology of democratic confederalism. He obviously knows the US will abandon them once the common enemy of ISIS dries up.
But were it not for coalition air strikes, the people of Northern Syria would be under the rule of genocidal ISIS freaks. To ask the SDF to turn help in defeating these tyrants down because of mythical ideological purity is the ultimate muh privilege.

Twitter was a mistake.

Ironically the Nazis made exactly the same accusation about the USSR because of its cooperation with capitalist US and UK in WWII. Pic related.

She seems to take the piss out of twitter tankies though.
