It is only by being dead that you become completely loyal to the authoritarian.

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.

braise Stalin :333

Must resist bait.

Edit: I can't resist the bait because if I did I would get warned for trollnaming, I'm going to have to take the bait. /leftypol/ is not dank, they banned me immediately after my post claiming that Stalin and Hitler were equally bad. 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".

I wish the workers of Buzzfeed News would just seize the whole thing and turn it into a nice co-op that does nothing but journalism.

That's like switching Volkswagen to sausage production.

Rojava got some good chances but they got to industrialize imho.

Does anyone hope that Rojava gets reconquered by Syria.

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.

Thats a hard one. I would say rojava is worse- not by much. Us bombing them is the best solution.

Why is Rojava worse? And why does Rojava need to be bombed?

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.

You can't have libertarian leftists doing libertarian leftists things like building a democratic confederation with a democratized economy, gender equality and some early openness towards LGBT+ people in the Middle East. It's madness, I tell you!

Because they are bad and can’t do good things. There are no good factions in Syria.

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

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