Kurd Rant Incoming

Fucking backstabbing RAT! This is what happens when your self determination is based on working for imperialists! A fucking sell out of a project.

The Kurds in Syria have essentially thrown Druze, Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidis, and of course, especially, Alawites and Shiites, under the bus. Kurdish sovereignty in Syria is going to be based on the subjection of every other ethnoreligious minority in Syria, essentially creating the exact kind of scenario "Syrian Rebels" accosted Assad for.

1000s of Alawites are being massacred while the Druze turn more pro-zionist by the day, and Kurds are going to aid the Jolani regime in keeping that state of affairs going, while western leftists say "well the Kurds didn't have any choice!"

Always smol beans who are perpetual victims. Yet western leftists will never recognize that Kurds have, more than any other group in West Asia, perpetuated the interests of imperialists. They are the Ukrainian and Baltic Nationalists of the region. Whereas the former allied with the SS against Soveit "colonizers" the Kurds ally with the US against Arab and Iranian "colonizers".

Kurds can not be trusted with a state. It can only exist through cooperation with imperialists and therefore its trajectory will become increasingly reactionary. Kurdish separatists are basically just labor zionists. A revolutionary cloak over a movement that will only devolve into ethnosupremacism.

These western leftists will decry the crimes of Arab nationalism/Pan Arabism or Iranian Nationalism, but say nothing of the material impact of Kurdish Nationalism. The truth of the matter is that the crimes of Pan-Arabism, sometimes quite horrific no doubt, pale in comparison to how Kurdush Nationalism has consistently been a lynch pin for allowing the US to dominate the region. Without the cooperation of Kurds and the support of Kurdish Nationalism, the US would be unable to topple Syria, and they would be unable to sow dissent into Iran through Iraqi Kurdistan.

Some "Marxists" some who I know have largely combatted their liberalism even, are going to end up looking like Stalin in his decision to endorse zionism. A black mark on an otherwise earnest revolutionary, who misjudged the political ramifications of his decisions. However it should still be said while we are able to, that this is a mistaken analysis.
