You think this is a situation to be envious of?

I think we're not only on the same page, but at different libraries. Good luck to you.

YPG-led forces recapture the whole of Kobanî city in late January 2015

So counting the recapture, it's a little less than 10 years but [t]he region gained its de facto autonomy in 2012 which is 12 years and counting. I hope you didn't think I sided with the Islamic State for some reason which sieged the city for 6 months.

Edit: Or are you victim blaming them for being attacked by the IS? In that case, I don't want to enter your library...

Aren't we going back to a Bernie Sanders thing? A socialist democracy.

The AANES has widespread support for its universal democratic, sustainable, autonomous, pluralist, equal, and feminist policies in dialogues with other parties and organizations.[

Both democracy and socialism have a wide range of meanings. AANES has a confederal council democracy, a much more direct democracy than the US or any other nation state. Their concept of socialism is much more radical than Sanders's.
