That's not very left wing of him.
Mildly put.
Noam Chomsky says US should stay in Syria to protect the Kurds
This. CIA was literally feeding him and his kids.
I know I'm breaking the board party line on this, but I don't even understand why this would be controversial. Left-anarchists (including Zig Forums) support Röjàvâ and the Y.P.G./Y.P.J. They were and are fighting ISIS, but were facing attacks from Turkey, as well as threats from Assad. The only thing keeping them going was US support, except for a brief period where the US withdrew support on Michael Flynn's command, since he was a paid Turkish operative. We can speculate their potential to be manipulated by the US for colonial ends, but they're the most democratic force in the region, and they're also a communalist/socialist experiment. People have reason to be weary of US military involvement anywhere, but if anyone deserves support, it's them. Now feel free to whine at me.
It's not worth it.
If the only way to achieve something is allying with the US, it's not worth it.
You've typed 13 words ITT.
Zig Forums also has the one drop rule, just instead of race it's US intervention/funding.
While I certainly share people’s concerns about the relationship between the SyDF and US, I think it’s important to remember that this relationship happened out of convenience for the US and need for the Kurds. However the Kurds actions and policies to date have clearly demonstrated an independent set of interests and agenda. A negotiated settlement with Assad is still both desirable and possible.
lol ignore this, sorry
Correct me if I'm wrong but can the relations between R0java/S.DF and the US really be considered an alliance? As far as I'm aware the americans only give them weapons/supplies shit like that and even if they are using them to destabilize Syria I wouldn't say R0java are american puppets. We need to remember the germans gave weapons and money to the bolsheviks to destabilize the russian empire but it ended up biting the germans in the ass years later.
When porkies fund socialist movements in the hopes of destabilizing their main enemy they never do it thinking they'll win. Do you think the germans would've helped the bolsheviks if they could've known they would win? It's the same thing here, if somehow Assad and R0java manage to beat all the real imperialists and religious fundamentalists mixed up in this war, I seriously believe they could merge together and form a federative plurinational socialist republic. That would be a complete nightmare to the US. Besides, it would be extremely stupid and non-pragmatic for any socialist to not accept weapons from the biggest industrial powerhouse in the world. We need to be pragmatic about shit like this, after all Marx did say "we'll hang the last capitalist with the rope he sold us" I think that's how the quote goes, idk
