Kurdish journalist on Rojava's inspiring revolution

Dylan Murphy interviews Kurdish journalist on Rojava's inspiring revolution.

This revolution is developing cooperatives based on a social economy as its economic alternative. The communes will be a primary force within the people's assemblies.

The cooperatives that have been founded are being given enough space within the economic sphere to sustain themselves. There exists the strength in the three cantons to found an economy along a socialised principle in the agriculture, livestock, industry and service sectors.

Emphasis Mine

The Kurdish struggle is a mixture of national liberation, resistance to genocide from ISIS, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, as well as a socialist revolution.

The development of a socialist society and economy has enabled the development of a successful military resistance which has enabled the Kurds to survive. This is similar to what happened in Vietnam where a nationalist struggle against imperialism became a communist revolution.
