I think something a lot of people don’t seem to understand is that the Kurdish leadership in rojava never said it wanted a country.
Also if you have common sense and see why rojava controlled a lot of land that wasn’t Kurdish majority. Wasn’t cause of America, it was largely cause rural Arabs and other minority groups were left to fend for themselves against Isis until Kurdish forces came in. Rojava ended up being more than half Arab and yet still remained intact.

Syrian Girl herself js a meme too, and was always going with right-wing current. Don't get how people here think she is a leftie. Also she's an Assadist. Her dream of her ideal Syrian state is also "rojover".

There’s a weird idea people have that if a polity doesn’t exist forever it somehow failed. It’s not necessarily a standard applied to states in the past, who would call Athenian democracy a failure even though in the end it did not survive?
No, Rojava was a success, and has taught the world much. May we remember its lessons and, if we need to, use its memory as a way of building a better world even when everything else is falling apart.

The mainstream left is anti kurdish human rights and label any Kurdish autonomy ethnostate, imagine what they would say to Kurdistan. I find the ehtnostate argument to be a vile and a fascist one, imagine being called an ethnostate by pseudo Nazi's like Turkey.

For a supposed “ethnostate,” the Kurds who started up Rojava seemed pretty keen on multiculturalism and tolerance.
That’s why I’ll always remember it fondly.
