“We make the revolution of mentalities”

  • The 19th of July marks the tenth anniversary of the Rojava revolution in northeastern Syria. For ten years, the Kurdistan Liberation Movement has been working on the development of the Democratic Confederalism system, creating communal structures, fighting against the Islamic State and fighting Turkish invasions, among others. The alarm situation has just settled on the territory, with the approval of NATO, because Turkey is going to start a new attack. The ideological reference of the liberation movement is the CCP, Kurdistan Workers' Party. His militants are political cadres and his dedication to fighting stands out. When they come together, they give up private property and affective sex, and they give life in the mountains in the battle of the guerrillas or in social dynamization. There are thousands of CPC political cadres around the world that have a short life of a few years. We interviewed to learn about his work and vision, as well as the Rojava process, in the city of Bashur, south of Kurdistan, a 22-year-old CCP Ronahi Kurdistane painting.
