[lbo-talk] Rojava's autonomous cantons: What a revolution looks like

[Marv Gandall]

Best concise summary I’ve read so far on the origins, ideology, and radical social experimentation of the left-wing Kurdish parties straddling the Turkey-Syria border, whose militias, notably the YPG/J in Kobane, are leading the fight against the reactionary barbarism of the Islamic State. These revolutionary democratic organizations, committed to gender and ethnic equality, are presently the only light in the darkness enveloping the Middle East.
