TFW even anarchists are starting to realize that Rojava is >no socialism whatsoever (even if you consider cooperatives to be socialism) beyond tour guided female™ (so progressive :–D:D) basket weaving stands

I never understood my fellow anarchists trying to claim that rojava was anarchist, even before that article came out.
Did they think they were doing "We'll just call it a state so nobody realizes we're anarchists!!1!"

If this was not posted by a leftcom, it would have been a good thread

I'm sorry that the people of Rojava had to prioritize surviving the civil war over installing your ideal form of communism.
Xavier Powell
Are all leftcom posters just anti-leftist false-flags, or are there real people that are dumb enough to believe the shit they post?

Anarchists criticised Rojava before it existed, when Bookchin made his libertarian municipalism pretty much everyone hated it. But since Rojava actually exists and isn't just theory it's a lot easier to support it, the same kind of thing happened with anarchists and the USSR before Kronstadt.
Also if you say you don't like it then everyone calls you a fake revolutionary or a lifestylist or whatever. David Graeber went on a long rant about how the only reason people would criticise the PYD line is if they want to keep anarchism to themselves as an identity, they write stuff like this too to make you feel bad: anarchistnews.org/content/rojava-imperfect-solidarity-false-allies

Like clockwork, the only response is "hurr you are a lifestylist, don't anarchists not have theory lmao you aren't a real pragmatic revolutionary like the ak47 qts and my local ML party with 1000 members". It's not even approaching an argument but people will believe it.
