nternational Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) has announced that Queer Insurgency and Liberation Army (TQILA) has been formed to combat ISIS in Syria.

Being a component of the International Freedom Battalion, the IRPGF was formed on March 31, 2017. The IRPGF, which is an anarchist group, consists of volunteers coming from various countries to fight ISIS in Syria.

The IRPGS in its statement issued yesterday to announce the TQILA said that “Our resolution in our struggle against authority, patriarchy, oppressive heteronormativity, queerphobia, homophobia and transphobia has strengthened with revolutionary advancements and struggle of Kurdish women”.

Jesus...

In all seriousness this is good work on their part. Ideally they wouldn't be fighting on the side of a group affiliated with terrorism, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

Edit: be sure to visit the source, there are some pictures there I couldn't fit in this post.

We're hitting levels of identity politics that shouldn't be possible.

The IRPGF is a bunch of liberals LARPing as Ancoms.
“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.” -J. V. STALIN
Ernest Hemingway wrote:Anyone who loves freedom owes such a debt to the Red Army that it can never be repaid.

Napoleon Bonaparte wrote:“To understand the man you have to know what was happening in the world when he was twenty.”

I thought they were a bunch of ancoms trying to reenact Barcelona. Either way they fight ISIS, which is pretty neat.

'Identity politics' is a buzzword. If used in a internally consistent manner instead of as a bludgeon against everything anyone doesn't like, identity politics would go back centuries.
