Not true, for in death you become a martyr for seditious groups to rally around. Only when your memory is eradicated from the populace, and all records of you expunged, does one truly become loyal to the State.

Also, Stalin should not be praised, he was a corrupt, bloodthirsty dictator. Authoritarianism is bad.

Just saying.
It has its place in very specific circumstances, same as, "Hello fellow white people".

What if they had a system in which they could get something in return for the product (no idea for name yet), and if enough customers give that, the good factories can take it and improve the product, and maybe even take over the bad ones and switch them to making the good product?

Simply because the nation has many aspects that rojava has. Women can go into the military, minorities are not discriminated, and it's secular.

However, Syria is a threat to Neo-conservativism, and it does have a more realistic ideology.

"More realistic" doesn't equal "better." If it did, you would have simply said "better." So you're left with the only reason for supporting Assad over Rojava being... anti-imperialism. Opposing US intervention is all well and good but doing so does non necessitate personally preferring dictators over democracies.

well, there are allegations that Rojava kills dissidence, so I see this state as a big contradiction. There are Arabs, Christians and Assyrians that don't want to live under the Kurds, so it's democracy is against the will of others.
Another reason for my support of Assad is that he has done more harm to ISIS than rojava. Not only that, he obviously does not ignore rebel groups that use the word democracy as a shield from claims of jihadism.

There is nothing libertarian about rojava. They only claim to support those things.



Honestly, Rojava barely did any of those on a mass scale.
