I don't know where Pisspig gets the time to poo poo all over people on twitter as hes sitting on the front line at Raqqa, but he do. I check his tweets every morning hoping he hasn't died some horrible death, looks like theres some marxist god out there looking over him today!

Does he actually fight or does he just take pictures of himself with guns and stuff while pretending that he's fighting? Either way I can't give him too much poo poo, no way in gently caress I'd go to a warzone without actually being in the army again. I feel like going by yourself to a place like that is just asking to be kidnapped and beheaded. Or just good old fashioned shot and/or blown up.

Caro is better because he isn't a douchey looking twitter marxist. Also Caro survived a loving torture prison where most people went to die. You were born too late to join some marxist guerrilla war, dude. Marxism is dead. Posting selfies on twitter isn't going to bring it back.

He was fighting in mid to late 2016 and is off the front lines for a bit I think. I'm​ no expert though, I just follow him and a bunch of his friends through twitter

It is weird but I don't think it's that weird as leftist militants from the West who are way in over their heads are a thing in the Mideast going back aways

And left-wing guerrillas and the like. I think Ocalan picked up the gender equality stuff while in prison and dropped the iron-and-steel Stalinist stuff

I'm talking about YPG rather than some other kurdish group with a more traditional ideology ending up being the one that gets enough traction to push out ISIS, .

I think the other Kurdish groups just missed the boat.

So when the war broke out, the PKK-linked Kurds, who had been preparing before the war, took the initiative and started seizing territory (while avoiding direct clashes wherever possible) while the KDP-linked Kurds in Syria were not prepared. (The KDP being the corrupt governing party of Iraqi-Kurdistan.)

So that put the PKK/YPG in a strong position, now having hegemony over their area, and kicking the KDP Kurds out -- and the military collapse of the KDP Peshmerga when Mosul fell didn't help Barzani's clan much either. If you're Kurdish and want to fight, the PKK/YPG looks pretty good in comparison to the mafioso types in Erbil.

Yeah i dunno that's my superficial reading, and there may be some reason why the YPG's leftist ideology is more popular in Syria, but I think a lot of it is just luck, timing and opportunity

It's a tricky comparison but consider the terror groups. Everyone asks themselves: why are [insert disgruntled loners / select ethnicity / religion etc.] killing people in terror attacks? There must be some deep sociological-political-explanation! But really, I'm more of the mind that it's largely driven by opportunity and inertia.

Terrorist person got in touch with terrorist recruit with daddy issues and set it up. It sounds like tautology and might be, but things don't happen by themselves -- some organization is involved. People are just networked together and doing it. Unravel the networks and they stop.

The deeper political stuff is buried in there, way back, but :shrug:

Orwell left his wife in the Spanish capital while he fought, got shot in the neck,, and ended up abandoning his buddies in prison when it was clear the communists were taking everything over. I don't know why anyone would want to do all that poo poo.
