How the YPG sold its Marxist optics to young, susceptible people, including misfits, anarchists, adrenaline junkies and former US marines, who were desperate to fight for an idealistic cause
They came from the United States, Britain, France and even Hong Kong. They were leftists, rightists, anarchists, feminists and ecology buffs. They were ex-marines, former drug addicts, misfits, adrenaline junkies or just young people sucked up in the conflicting battles of Syria.
While the YPG has been endlessly eulogised in the Western media as American allies who fiercely fought Daesh militants, little is discussed of the group’s ideology, which doesn’t tolerate dissent or difference of opinion. Its jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan has evolved from being a Marxist-Leninist to someone who now adheres to what is called democratic confederalism with a dose of anarchism.
One thing that has played a significant role in its rise was social media, which has been instrumental in the organising of protests by groups such as Portland-based Rose City Antifa.
