❗️Syrian Kurdish leader announces complete integration into US-backed state institutions

Expand

Syrian Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi announced that the integration of the Kurdish-led administration and its military, security, and administrative institutions into the official structures of the Syrian state is fully complete, effectively concluding the region’s pursuit of autonomy.

Speaking in Qamishli during an event marking the city’s centenary, Abdi stated that the move opens a “new phase” centered on political efforts to secure and cement Kurdish rights within the country’s national constitution.

The milestone follows months of intensive negotiations and a landmark agreement signed in January by Abdi and self-imposed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa following clashes across the oil-rich northeast.

Under the implementation of the deal, government forces have entered key urban centers like Hasakah and Qamishli, while Damascus has assumed management of regional oil fields and the Qamishli airport.

Hmmmm, would you look at that, the SDF folding into the Syrian state, something they completely refused to do during Assad.

“What were they supposed to do?! They lost all arms support from the US!”

Says the western leftist, in a pitiful attempt to justify their support for an imperialist proxy.

In response I say:

THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE OUTCOME FROM DAY ONE!

“Assadists” made this clear every single time the topic of Rojava came up. That their project was predicated on the Assad government existing, and without it, the US would dissolve them immediately, having got what it wanted. Their political project was reliant on how it benifeted US imperialism, therefore making their struggle against the interest of the global working class.

This, according to a basic leninist analysis, should have disqualified support from principaled Communists. Yet, reeking of moralism and chauvnism, western leftists plugged their ears and still expressed admiration for a literal imperialist occupation of a sovereign global south country.

It would be less infuriating if these folks just admitted that our analysis was correct with hindsight at this point. However they still cling on to this notion of Kurdish national liberation eventual ethnonationalism being this thing that every leftist must support. They even go so far into justifying how Kurdish factions in Iraq (who are significantly more aligned with the US and Israel) undermine the core of anti-imperialism in West Asia, the Islamic Republic of Iran.

They are so enamored by the aesthetics of class struggle, that they can not see the material reality of how it is occurring at this very moment!

Truly this fantasy, is a completely maddening display of revolutionary voyeurism.
