From Anarkismo:
Interview with the Kurdistan Anarchists Forum (KAF) about the situation in Iraq/Kurdistan
The experiences of many of us have proved or at least shown that it is very, very hard for a libertarian/anarchist idea and direction to grow and develop inside a hierarchal organization. Not only this, it is impossible for such ideas and directions to remain or stay and continue in an ideological nationalist organization. We can always separate or distinguish between the social movement and the leftist political movement whatever form they have because the leftists and politicians are always authoritarian and corrupt. We can see in reality the leftists are always trying to tame and control struggles and the movement of the mass people and use them to achieve their own political aims, making political capital out of it.
What do you think
of the US bombings?
Before the US decided to bombard and hit
the ISIS bases, there were a lot of rumours and news that ISIS was
created by the US, UK and Israel. The more reliable evidence that we
can refer to was from Edward Snowden about this. Now when they (UK
and US) decide to attack ISIS and sell weapons to the KRG, it is to
undermine Edward Snowden's information and the rumours that spread
widely.
We are against intervention from the US and Western
countries and also selling weapons to the KRG. We know this is big
business for them, that can make a lot of profits through this trade.
We also do not want Kurdistan to become a battlefield for all the
Jihadist groups in the world against the US, Western countries and
the Kurdish, in which so many innocent people would be killed and
many places would be destroyed. In addition, the war situation
creates more haters between Kurds and Arabs, between Kurds and
Sunnis. In the meantime it caused the emergence of many racist and
fascist groups.
The only winners in the wars are the big companies who sell weapons and war equipment, and the losers - as always - are the poor people.
