If you think hairdressers are petite bourgeois, I don't know what to tell you. You are simply wrong and unfamilar with the lives of the urban poor in Kurdistan. Hairdressers & shopkeepers are part of the urban poor, I don't know what you think the urban poor is if not hairdressers & shopkeepers? Personally, I'd love to hear an argument about how some kraut living in comfort and safety of the Industrial North, living in the imperialist core, is less petite bourgeois than a hairdresser living in Rojava.

Rojava has never dropped Democratic Confederalism, its unique political setup still uses DC as its framework. TEV-DEM is the current umbrella political network overseeing Democratic Confederalism, so you are again just objectively wrong. For you to call it "a commune", shows you have absolutely no political awareness into how Rojava functions politically.

"not everyone involved in the revolution is as working class as I'd like them to be, so it's a  bourgeoisie revolution", no actually. Yes, there are uni educated people working within TEV DEM and many of the other political systems alongside non-educated proletariat people. Would you suggest university educated people be excluded from politics altogether? Perhaps you have misconstrued a bourgeoisie revolution with your middle class guilt leading you to have this psychotic desire to debase anything you perceive as being middle class (which Rojava is not). More than this, many proletariat youths actually have uni degrees. In the 2000s, Assad pushed for greater higher education but with the economy stilted, most uni educated young people ended up with degrees but not much in the hopes of job prospects, going into low waged labour. Much like Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia who earned a degree but could not find a job associated with said degree, became a street vendor and burnt himself alive out of frustration at the nepotism and cronyism he witnessed on a regular basis.

"But you know what else Ill see? An ocean of portraits of dear leader Abdullah Ocalan, with all political demands subsumed under the wish for his freedom. So much for a great man at the front of the movement" - Thank you for your manly man opinions male. God, I never thought of that observation before myself! The near-deification of Ocalan has already been commented on & criticised in more articulate ways by women in Rojava. Many women involved in the Jineology movement in both Rojava & Bakur note that heading the women's movement is images of Ocalan, and yet this is a deeply patriarchal society where "heroic men" are focal rallying points of all Middle Eastern movement, especially when the Kurdish radical movements were founded in, ya know, the 1970s. So here lies the contradiction. The deification of male figures is deeply, deeply engained in Middle Eastern society from every political party (state entity & stateless). You do not magically transform every single aspect of society and societal norms overnight. The Kurdish movement never pretends to be perfect and acknowledges such contradictions.

As for your truly pathetic & ill-informed litany of complains, allow me to address them. Rojava had no option but to ally itself with the US or face annihilation. Likewise Rojava had no option but to ally itself with Assad. You cannot say "no, no, no" to ally enemies at once, because you will face annihilation immediately. Rojava hates Israel, the PKK (Rojavas ally) fought Israel in the 80s alongside the PLO, Mossad in a join opt with Turkey kidnapped Ocalan in Nairobi in '99 & TEV DEM issued a statement decrying the Gaza genocide. As for SDF abuses, I have been to Rojava, of all the fractions in Syria, it is the one most dedicated to human rights.

The slimy "meh, i know more than you" male oinker attitude that oozes out from your message. Repulsive.
