 [machine translation]

For over two years, the Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), is engaged in a specific revolutionary 
process. Stay long away from that proposed in Syria because considered too influenced by 
the pan-Arab nationalist ideology, then facing a revolution against internal and fascist 
religious takfiri the Rojava develops its own social institutions, troops hunting plan 
Bashar, and faces the politico-religious and Arab nationalist forces trying to destroy 
that dynamic autonomy. ---- If then develops a popular mass scale social, economic and 
political self-organization dynamics, based on a draft "confederalism democratic 
"including the struggle for gender equality, inclusion of religious, national and sexual 
minorities in the local institutions. ---- democratic confederalism This project is 
supported by the KCK (Kurdish confederation), combining popular movement (TEVDEM) and 
political parties PYD to the PKK.

PKK, initially influenced by a Marxist-Leninist ideology posing the Kurdish issue in terms 
of national liberation struggle for the establishment of a nation-state, has evolved under 
the influence of its founder Abdullah ?calan, to positions critical of the nationalist 
logic, the Marxist-Leninist doctrine and its centralizing character. Influenced by the 
ideas of the American libertarian communist Murray Bookchin, libertarian theorist 
Municipalism and social ecology, he criticized the nationalist strategy ( building a 
nation state) to substitute a strategy of development of autonomous local institutions, 
ensuring the development of Kurdish culture without building a centralized framework and 
homogenizer. This development, if it has not been smooth , and is still struggling with 
some authoritarian legacies, is of great importance for the region: it marks the prospect 
of a break with a contrarian nationalism of cultural and social diversity of the region, 
with a religious patriarchal and conservative ideology with a secular and socialist vision 
of the Kurdish question.

Meanwhile, this strategy relies on the development of an armed vigilante popular movement 
with the creation of militia (YPG and YPJ) guaranteeing a large place for women who allows 
self-defense Kurdish, especially Kurdish women face different regions and religious 
fascists. turcQUEs Our comrades anarchists Syrian, Iranian and Kurdish did not make a 
mistake: they and they declared their full support for this People's Self-Defense 
movement, which opens another path for the Middle East. Whatever the criticisms that they 
make and the party political form, what they believe and they be insufficient criticism of 
state institutions, and recognize them in the revolutionary process Rojava a valuable 
asset to be preserved to extend and defend by all means deal with religious fascists, 
movement of the Turkish State and Western imperialism, but also the regime of Bashar 
Assad. In the name of anti-fascist unity and revolutionary solidarity. As for us, and for 
the same reasons we believe that the Kurdish movement of popular self-organization 
deserves our full support in dealing with religious fascists.

This involves the denunciation of the hypocrisy of Western states continue to classify the 
PKK as a "terrorist organization" while tolerating the support of the Turkish state 
religious fascists. Who exploit the situation to power within their borders a racist 
policy, and to defend the Middle East their geostrategic interests, sacrificing if 
necessary Kurdish populations. , States which see the creation of a "buffer zone" so that 
a solution it is only an occupation that would lead to an end the liquidation of popular 
autonomy Rojava. For us this solidarity is reflected in our support for workers and 
Kurdish workers in struggle and when they claim:

Arms for Kurdish revolutionaries, thus preserving their political autonomy and allowing 
them to ensure their self-defense against the fascist regime and
The late filing of the PKK as a terrorist organization by the EU and stop the 
persecution of Kurdish activists and solidarity actions with the Kurdistan
Opening a corridor for Kurdish fighters so they can send reinforcements to Koban?
The breaking of any law enforcement and military cooperation with the French government 
the Turkish state
