So is it still possible to travel to 'a trillion US bases in Syria' now that the border with Iraqi Kurdistan has been shutdown? Are they completely cut off?

Probably go through PKK controlled mountains. Pretty sure that's how they've been getting across so far.

Tankie spergouts aside, what about the likely prospects for ᎠFNFЅ in the future. Will Assad be able to unlimber enough manpower to directly threaten ᎠFNFЅ, or will there be enough persistent threats (possibly just over the border rather than inside Syria itself) to make war against ᎠFNFЅ too vulnerable? Will the Turks be removed, along with any other potential threat such as Iran or Iraq, giving ᎠFNFЅ more breathing room? If arrangements between Assad and ᎠFNFЅ becomes more concrete, how far would Assad be able to bend things back before ᎠFNFЅ responded with force?

Everything coming out the Rоjavа, the SAA and Russia indicates there will be talks about how to integrate Rоjаvа into Syria in a mutal manner. Considering Russia is backing this, the place is safe mate.
The question is what the fuck happens to the Turkish occupied zone?

Elijah Howard
Wait, did BO seriously take away the y.p.g. flag. How can someone be so butthurt
Anthony Carter
most of BO's reasoning isn't that she's unsympathetic to the cause of the People's Protection Units, but that she believes them to be naive, doomed to failure by the inevitable betrayl at the hands of the state dept, a mad cabal of sheiks, the Kremlin, etc.
Joshua Morris
No, his delusion runs deeper. He thinks that the mere presence of socialist parallel power in Syria will deal such a crippling blow to the Ba'athist government, that it will inevitably send Syria toppling into the same state of disorder as Iraq, ignoring the fact that most of the blame for the civil war in Syria falls squarely on Assad's shoulders, with substantial US meddling only happening long after his crackdowns had pushed things past the point of no return. Also, that the ᎠFNFЅ is an American puppet, in spite of the fact it has Russian forces based within it, much like Assad's Russian puppet regime.
Ian White
R*java wouldn't even be a thing without America at this point. They got bailed out a couple of years back. When America leaves they will diminish.
Blake Hill
Just like Assad would've been steamrolled years ago if he hadn't glued his lips to Putin's ass? The present is what matters, and since ISIS is a dead man walking, while basically none of the FSA cares about ᎠFNFЅ, the end of US backing wouldn't hurt ᎠFNFЅ much.
A more interesting question, IMHO, is Turkey and Iraq/KRG, all three of which are on rocky terms with Assad and ᎠFNFЅ alike, though they have a worse history with ᎠFNFЅ.
Mason Martinez

Socialism will not come through US interventionism. Either the Kurdish revolution is self-sustainable and vigilant, in which case it can defend itself without being propped up as an US proxy, or it is not.
Asher White
Kurds: we're literally allowing the US to colonize Syria in exchange for political support and we're crafting alliances that will allow them to perpetuate their interventions in the Middle-East just fyi
Anarkiddies: oh come on, that's just being pragmatic. Was it also "imperialism" when the U.S. gave money to the Soviet Union in WW2? It's the same thing!
Zachary Jenkins
Serious question to over a dozen US military bases in Syria supports, is a few cooperatives and female "soldiers" worth the destruction of Syria? How can you call yourselves leftist, this is essentially virtue signalling, a few pointless gestures.

Adam Roberts
Private property is literally enshrined on its constitution and they're supported by the biggest capitalist power in the world, any illusion that this is a socialist revolution should have been long gone by now, and even they were indeed a Socialist project it doesn't mean you can allow yourself to be a puppet and a proxy for a foreign capitalist power. Saying they're justifying in taking land that isn't theirs by right or by ethnical affiliation (as most living under their government are now Arabs, not Kurds) because they're more left-leaning than Assad is the same logic of neocons who think Israel deserves uncritical support because hey, "the only democracy in the middle east!".
The agenda of using Kurds to split secularist-nationalist regimes was already used in Iraq and elsewhere step-by-step, and just because these kurds are now leftists it doesn't make it any less of an imperial project. The US may even be happier now, as since "socialism" and their federalism will help fragment power in Syria and make the entire region easier to influence. And here's a tip: if your political project fits like a glove on a capitalist global power's agenda in your regional, it's time to rethink things.
Luke Ward
Trotskyists actually follow that logic.
Noah Jones
Hopeful it transfers to a socialist Mode of production once the situation is less critical and needs less pragmatism Using that logic the SU was a US imperialist puppet and we should have supported NS germans against US imperialism See the above point Thats some spooked thinking Then its a good thing that its a multi-ethnic project the Good thing it isnt a nationalist project then
The rest of the shit was here just more debunked "Muh imperialism" stuff
Joshua Miller
Yeah let's just give away a fifth of our territory, several of our cities, many of our oil fields when that's still a quarter of the government revenues and allow the new #revolutionary regime there to install a network of military bases by the same foreign power that spent the last few years investing 100k dollars a year for every anti-Assad "moderate rebel"
My country will be fine after that
Justin Young
It will still be part of Syria but simply under federalized self rule That's the Syrian government fault for making their economy entirely reliant on oil it's not at all the D FSNS's fault Temporary and to fight IS this has been explained a hundred times
I find it strange how so many red liberals will put national borders before revolution
Hudson Anderson
Thank god the U.S. is all about socialists modes of production
What did I say?
Like a fucking broken record.
The same spooked thinking that justify their U.S.-sponsored land-grabbing, ironic huh?
So is Syria, and american military isn't one of the welcomed groups in this one.
Oh not at all, when they talked about self-determination they meant self-determination for Kurds, and uh… Arabs on the north and uh… oil fields and uh… any city that we can conquer with the aid of western air force, yes, that's who we represent!
Yeah bro, a civil war that killed half a million people in the same country that borders Iraq, Israel and Turkey. This anti-imperialist talk sure is bogus in this context.
Also, I'm not sure "debunked" is the term I'd chose to described the arguments and narratives targeted by your low-IQ shit
Adrian Carter
pure wishful thinking The SU only got supplies, no military base, and it wasn't trying to take territory form a sovereign nation, it was defending itself for a foreign invasion. Except is is How would you like it if the US backed rebels took a chuck out of your country? Its a Kurdish dominated project, by Kurds and for Kurds. It a Kurdish project and we all know it
Michael Lopez
If Syria wants the american military bases out, will the "federalized self-rule" expel them? Then it's not their territory.
I won't dignify this with a response
Usually I'd expect this from someone cynically pretending to believe official narratives, like the people who pretended to believe Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction, but in your particular case it's hard to tell, because you would be dumb enough to fall for it.
You are literally defending a "revolution" that is based on the idea of borders and adjusting them according to an ethnicity/culture.
Lucas Ward
North Syria isn't either I'd feel a bit shit Good thing the D FSNS isn't secessionist then No it literally isn't Show me one place in the D FSNS ' consitition or one official claim or announcement or law proclaiming it a Kurdish project Protip: You can't See above and give me proof
I find it funny how you guys will support Shia militant militias and The Russian government but not a leftist militia that has been a great ally to Assad and Syria

Pro-R0java people are basically covering their ears and shouting "I can't hear you" at this point. The amount of shit they're fooling themselves to believe in, or pretending to believe in order to save face, is becoming straight up ludicrous

Hate to quote Mr An-Crap but "Not an argument"
Michael Bell
See…
Jaxson Carter
Which basically invalidates the one weak "claim" for self-determination they had. If they're multi-ethnic are they conquering and segregating along what lines, if not "whatever we can get"?
And when "whatever we can get" happens the be the extent the U.S. is willing to support you, then you're a puppet and a vehicle for foreign invasion.
It's more like AKA the idea you can grab territory and natural resources and just say "well, your fault for not having other things!" is way too ludicrous to merit response, so I'm not going to bother. Getting a #woke #confederalist #anarchist to subscribe to imperial logic in order to sustain his delusions is the best thing I can achieve here anyway.
I'm just here to teach you about yourselves, and bring forward the underlying sentiments, prejudices and illusions behind being in favor of Kurdish self-determination at this point.
Asher Young
It's not claiming to be fight I for Kurdish autonomy it's fighting for the ability to create an autonomous zone within Syria that will operate under the principles of democratic confederalism along the federalization of Syria
It's got nothing to do with Kurdish autonomy like the end of your post implies
Now I've got a question for you Do you actually genuinely think that protecting abstract borders is more important then workers revolution?
Charles Ramirez
I don't think over a dozen US military bases in Syria is helping the workers revolution.

"SDF project will collapse in few months." Former #SDF Spokesperson Talal Sillo first statement since defecting from over a dozen US military bases in Syria
Propaganda or true?
Brayden Rogers
Propaganda that Rоjava will collapse for that Sillo defected?
Mason Rodriguez
Whether he has even defected or not His statements don't mean anything without backing, but who knows what has really happened One shotty picture isn't proof
Parker Sullivan
It's odd how Sillo himself noted how Turkey has assassinated his own comrades in the Seljuk Brigade. So it's either fake news or Sillo is a spineless shitter who probably got bribed a lot of money to defect to his enemies.
Gavin Anderson
oh so youre new here. before you found out what Holla Forums was we were debating on the siege of raqqa

Raqqa was being discussed in the thread but the only talk on evacuations was about the Deir ez-Zor oilfields. And fuck off with that newfag shit; I've been here since March 2015.

Matthew Jones
Yeah I did; here's all the archived threads I looked through. I'm guessing the thread you were talking about was deleted or something because I made sure I didn't miss a thread by matching up the creation date of each Rоjava general.
Benjamin Hughes
Hey look, it's you guys in the 30s talking about how cool and socialist Israel is.
Colton Jenkins
The Kibbutzim were originally seen as a positive influence on the area by the Muslim peasant class against exploitative Muslim landowners, the real problem with the Kibbutzim was that they integrated with other settlers who shared neither their ideology, nor their original compunction against exploiting the labor of Muslim peasants. The closest equivalent of such corrupting influences in today's Syria would be either the KRG across the Iraqi border the ᎠFNFЅ are longtime rivals with, or the Ba'athist regime itself they exist in opposition to.
Zachary Sullivan
This entire argument is so fucking retarded. Yes, it's obvious the US has imperialist ambitions in the region and fighting ISIS is just an excuse, yes, they'd like nothing more than to make over a dozen US military bases in Syria a puppet. How the fuck is that an argument? What other possible alternative could over a dozen US military bases in Syria do that they haven't tried? Completely rejecting the US would've ended with their extinction and ISIS doing significantly more damage before their much more delayed defeat. Regardless, the over a dozen US military bases in Syria have clearly shown they are ready and willing to negotiate with Assad and Russia and they have no desire to be a good US puppet. What the fuck could they have done then engage in a dirty alliance with the US? Allow their deaths and the defeat of the project to maintain some retarded ideological purity? Do you think the leaders are retarded and don't understand what the US wants, or that they're opportunists and selling to sell the revolution out for a mansion in Miami?
Jordan Sullivan
nope.jpg
And this is besides the point. The very fact that people no longer associate Israel with its egalitarian roots and that it has turned into an aggressive military power just shows that deeper contradictions of geopolitics and imperialism can't be overcome by palliative egalitarian property, or palliative egalitarian constitutions. These will remain secondary to the interests of the invading powers, just like the Kurd's "socialist" confederalism is now just background noise to the ongoing process of U.S. intervention in the region.
Seriously think about the fact you just said the Kibbutz were indeed good projects and what it lead to regardless. Would any socialist with a half a brain look back at a century of occupation, war, segregation and genocide and say it was worthy it because a few utopian socialists had the opportunity to become starry-eyed at a semi-Narodnik commune for a few years? Then let's not make the same mistakes again.
Hunter Cox
Nice leap in logic also Its not US Intervention
Camden Stewart
It's called a comparison, and making predictions based on established patterns. If those are alien to you then I'm sure you won't have troubled siding with the US in future conflicts
lol
Bentley Lopez
I find quite a difference between DemCon and and Zionist "socialism" Not an Argument
Joseph Morales
The greatest hurdle of ideological purity for the Kibbutimz was specifically their ethnic sympathies with other Jews, and their ultimate unwillingness to collaborate with the Muslims. ᎠFNFЅ has already overcome both those potential problems, as they are now majority non-Kurd, and their relationship with the KRG is antagonistic aside from the partisan support of the PUK.

Holy shit, get off the US' dick, already. They also have ideology training which specifically poises them against the US. If that isn't a cynical relationship, I don't know what is.
Hudson Cruz
Anarchism denotes various traditions of theory which descended apart from Marxism, and De Leon, Luxemburg, and Pannekoek differentiated themselves as libertarians through a strict Marxist framework. This framework generally keeps out the undesirables who go on about "social revolutions" and permit class collaborationism, among other things. There is overlap in structural function, but libertarian Marxists have various distinct qualities, such as not being opposed to hierarchy as such. I refuse to be lumped together with the same ideological framework that eventually allowed "Towards the Queerest Insurrection" to be put to paper.
Easton Anderson
based
Cooper Rivera
Decent explanation from leddit:
"Whereas Anarchist Communism is seen as a plan for a post-capitalist society with many differing paths towards achieving said society, Council Communism views communism in the materialist sense of the "real movement that abolishes the present state of things". To Marxists, communism is "not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself". The Council Communists claim that workers councils are the true organ of working class power is based on historical observation rather than a belief that councils are the most "ideal" or "democratic" form. They saw that throughout history whenever there has been a period of revolutionary upheaval that the workers have come together and formed councils and saw that these councils could extend to form the basis of the dictatorship of the proletariat (a concept that most anarchists reject) which would then lead to the establishment of communism. For them, workers councils were not the basis for communist society but merely its catalyst.
If you're an Anarchist Syndicalist you should know that the Council Communists are highly critical of unions to the point of rejecting them outright."

Ryan Reed
over a dozen US military bases in Syria
Charles King
They're both worse actually, because anarchist and communalist revolutions literally cannot work, so it's pointless from the start, in fact if anything, this impedes the work of progress in syria by impeding economic development by its national bourgeoisie in order for the proles to be prepared for socialist takeover.
Lincoln Sullivan
I guess the Russian Revolution shouldn't have happened; they should've waited for the Tsar to industrialize and advance the economy more.

Nice try, the problem is that over a dozen US military bases in Syria is a "stateless" revolution which impedes it, and is counterrevolutionary in nature.
Easton Nguyen
I know, I read in a blog post by them that they had moved to fight in Kobane. I forgot the name of the group though.
That's not a rebuttal. You should learn more before giving your opinion. Demcons are not Anarchists and there is very much a state in Rojavá and they don't pretend otherwise. What revolution are they countering?
Connor Ramirez
oh they do, but they usually wont acheive shit without backing. see revolutions like in catalonia and the miners strike against tatcher vs "revolutions" like euromaidan and the arab spring.
Kayden Cruz
anyone else worried that Turkey will never Leave Syria, and Idlib and North Aleppo will be yet another occupied syrian territory like Hatay and the Golan Heights? When you think about it, and Turkey is part of Nato, they really have no reason to give it up, or Assad any power to stop them.
John Jones
I thought of the same thing. As long as the over a dozen US military bases in Syria is a thing and Sultan Erdog is in power I can't see them leaving unless there's some unholy deal between them, the regime, and Russia.
Caleb Rogers
Oh for fucks sake I can't even say D.F.n.S. ? Fuck off
