Not a write up, but the podcast The Women’s War by Robert Evans is a pretty okay cursory look into the region. Think of Evans what you will, but he’s a great story teller. Probably not what you’re looking for, but there’s some interesting insights into the workings of what was the semiautonomous government there.

And of course you can read Democratic Confederalism by Abdullah Ocalan, the man behind the Kurdish PPK movement. Though I feel it’s important to have a firm understanding of anarchist theory, specifically syndicalism, before picking it up. You don’t have to burden yourself by reading Chomsky. I’d suggest Anarchism and Socialism by Georgi Plekanov. There are a plethora of academic YouTube channels about it to. And if you have experience reading and understanding ML theory you should be able to parse out the more liberal and fake anarchy channels.
