You are wrong unfortunately. Believe me I wish it weren't so, but they're sellouts.
The kurds were sellouts

What I find most troubling is so-called left wingers like Noam Chomsky and Michael Brooks explicitly supporting U.S military occupation and expansion in Northern Syria to “protect civilians and ethnic minorities” against the ‘evil’ Syrian Arab Army.
I suppose Brooks supporting U.S imperialism is somewhat typical of the first worldist western pseudo left however Chomsky should know better considering his excellent research into U.S foreign policy (his book Hegemony or Survival is a must read). Surely anyone with half a brain can see that the U.S is merely trying to Bulkanise Syria and hand over control of Northern Syria to Kurdish Oligarchs and take advantage of its natural resources including oil.

The article linked shows the details of a relatively small clash that happened a number of months ago in one disctrict of North Syria which has a rather uniquely volatile situation
(The area is under Kurdish militia control for the most part though a border crossing under joint Syrian-Turkish control also exists)
This does not support your claim of "Killing each other on the borders consistently"
Also the source is the Syrian observatory of Human rights which is literally a pro-Militant organisation

Obviously the US would benefit from this though no evidence that the Kurds wish for this to happen exists
How so?
The Kurdish forces have a constitution that explicitly supports the eventual fading out of private (Capitalist) enterprise in favour of a mix of worker control / Mutalist Co-Ops and state ownership
The North has already allowed the central goverment to continue exploitation of oil resources in the north

Interesting insight. I have a few questions;
1- Are the Kurdish controlled areas in the north unanimously controlled by Y-P-G forces and government? My understanding was that there were ongoing friction and disputes between pro-capitalist and anti-capitalist groups and prominent individuals in the Kurdish region.
2 - Also what do you think the U.S will do in the region? Allow Turkey to annex it or support more business friendly Kurds against the Y-P-G?
Thanks.

It was only like a month or two ago that IS made a counterattack and took a few villages. The war with them is still ongoing. You don't know shit

How can you both be horizoontal and also have a leader you praise like a god? This makes no sense.

In terms of "Control" in the Military sense the area is under the authority of the Kurdish forces though the goverment still operates the medical infrastructure education infrastructure (Varies) and other social services in the area while the local political system is controlled by the Kurdish forces
The US clearly has shown that it has no intention of stopping Turkish intervention in the area
It has also historically supported the Iraqi based Kurdistan regional goverment which is explicitly hostile to the Syrian Kurdish forces

The Syrian Kurds are literally using the US bases as meat shields to keep the T*rks away. The fact is that the only way the US will leave is if the Y.PG and Syrian government sign a deal and co-operate. The people saying “fuck the Kurds lmao” are literally hoping for a situation in which the Kurds will be forced to keep relying onthe US and thus they will stay indefinitely. The only truly anti-imperialist stance is to support collaboration between the Y.PG and Syrian gov, and a deal which preserves the democratic and socialistic gains of the R.ojava revolution.
