This piece leaves considerably more doubt about Machel’s assassination than I 
think is really warranted. For people I know who were close to events 
surrounding his death, this short documentary film from several years ago 
settled once and for all any lingering doubts or questions:

I have no idea why you and Nick can't simply come out and say that this 
guy keeps coming out with outrageous statements. You remind me of of 
Sarah Sanders trying to explain Donald Trump.


In 2016, Sputnik ran an article titled "Russian Campaign Saved Syria 
From 'Becoming Part of New Ottoman Empire'":


MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia's aerial campaign in Syria has reinforced 
Moscow's positions among other countries and contributed to the 
multipolarity in the world, Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) 
co-chairman Saleh Muslim told Sputnik.


"The Russian campaign in Syria has strengthened country's positions in 
the world affairs. I believe, this was the end of the unipolar world. We 
can talk about multipolar world now," Muslim said.


He added that Moscow's aerial campaign had also changed Washington's 
perception of terrorists, pushing the United States to change its stance 
with regard to several militant groups in the region.


According to the PYD co-chairman, Russia's support of Syria prevented 
the Middle Eastern nation "from being cut into pieces and becoming a 
part of a new Ottoman Empire."


---

This is just fucking outrageous. Russia was bombing hospitals, apartment 
buildings and helping to starve East Aleppo into submission in 2016. 
This guy has crappy politics. He is as slimy as the Socialist Equality 
Party or Moon of Alabama.


I am for woman's emancipation and even utopian experiments. But this 
kind of shit makes me wonder how the PYD leadership can get a free pass 
from Graeber and the Greenleft. I guess beauty is in the eye of the 
beholder.

Opening today at the Cinema Village in NY, “Breaking Point: The War for 
Democracy in Ukraine” makes an interesting contrast to “A Sniper’s War” 
that I reviewed on February 9th. Both films begin with an introduction 
to soldiers fighting on either side of lines in the Donetsk breakaway 
republic. In “A Sniper’s War”, it was a Serb volunteer and a 
self-described communist who joined up with separatists because he hated 
NATO, especially for the destruction it wrought in his native country. 
In “Breaking Point”, it is a children’s theater workshop director who 
tells us that it is “beauty, art and love” that will save the world”. 
Those ideals convinced him to risk his life trying to recapture Donetsk 
just as the Serb’s devotion to communist ideals, no matter how 
compromised, convinced him to risk his.


Unlike “Winter on Fire”, the Netflix cinema vérité that is focused 
exclusively on Euromaidan, “Breaking Point” begins with the protests and 
takes us nearly to the state of affairs that prevails today, which leads 
one Ukrainian to ask toward the end of the film: “What did people die for?”

Salih Muslim's statement that "many who were siding with the insurrection were 
coming from the mosques" was very unfortunate in its wording.  But I think he 
was referring to the  Islamist (and Sunni sectarian) politics of much of the 
rebel leadership.  He said the goal of the PYD was a "democratic and secular 
state".  The Islamists had a different goal, so they were not allies.

When Salih Muslim talks of the "regime change project", he is not referring to 
the original uprising against Assad, but the attempt to use that uprising to 
instal a new government backed by Turkey and the West.  He makes the point that 
such a government was likely to be repressive towards the Kurds.

Sorry Nick, who wrote anything here to whitewash the Turkish state.
Look, it is not a matter of one statement by Salih Muslim in 2013,
repulsive as that one was. You need to deal with the fact that the
PYD's decision to go its own entirely neutral "third way" from the
very outset has been part of the problem, as well as the problems
arising from Turkish pressure on the opposition and the opposition's
own Arab nationalist background.

PYD leader Salih Muslim admits that they effectively declared
themselves neutral as early as mid-2011:

“Regarding our position in the conflict, the Kurds in Syria had been
fighting for our democratic rights in a country ruled by a dynastic
and despotic regime. But a few months after the uprising we realized
that many who were siding with the insurrection were coming from the
mosques and we thought that those were not good travel companions for
us.” http://kurdistantribune.com/2016/salih-muslim-time-has-proved-us-right/

Yes, thousands of Syrians were pouring out of mosques – one of the
only safe places – and going to protest for democracy against Assad
from the earliest days; it is immensely sectarian (in the political
sense) to see all these people as your enemies “a few months” into the
uprising, as if every worshipper protesting for democracy and freedom
is a crazed jihadist.

In an interview back in 2011, Salih Muslim (who was curiously allowed
back into Syria by Assad, following years of exile), also used
familiar Assadist tropes in defining the uprising as a western “regime
change” operation:

“As PYD, we believe that the international plan asking for a change in
Syria is not in favor of the peoples … In return for assuming the
leading role on Syria, Turkey received compromises by the West on
suppressing the Syrian Kurds. One of the major reasons of the regime
change project in Syria was to eliminate the Kurdish” (PYD Lideri
Salih Müslim ile Röportaj, “Suriye’de Kürtler yol haritası
çıkartıyor”, Firat News Agency, 12 September 2011, cited in
http://www.todayszaman.com/todays-think-tanks_syrias-pkk-game_271361.html).

Then there were the PYD attacks on Kurdish anti-Assad demonstrations,
beginning in Afrin in February 2012. I quoted from Burning Country on
this in a recent post. here is another report:

“On February 3, 2012, organized attacks by sympathizers of the
Democratic Union Party (PYD) injured at least 17 people in ʿAfrin.
Armed PYD supporters surrounded approximately three hundred supporters
of the Kurdish Patriotic Conference as they were gathering for a
dissident demonstration. The PYD demanded that the demonstrators walk
behind their flag. When the demonstrators refused and chanted “Azadî”
(“Freedom”), they were attacked with billy clubs, knives, chains, and
guns.
… Syrian security forces did not intervene. Numerous demonstrators
were brought to the hospital—however, some of them could not be
treated as the PYD also continued its attacks there.”
http://kurdwatch.org/en/interview8/html?aid=2449=en

According to the same report, five demonstrations took place the same
day in al-Qamishli. The regime arrested several people, but also
“during the demonstration in al-Antariyah, PYD thugs attacked
activists who were filming the protests with the explanation that only
employees of the PKK stations Roj-TV and

Another "supposed damning fact" to add to Nick's list:  the claim that Salih 
Muslim called for the expulsion of Arabs, when on many occasions he said the 
exact opposite.

This false claim was included in Burning Country, which is on the whole a good 
account of the Syrian revolution, but which is biased against the PYD (probably 
because of misinformation supplied to the authors by political opponents of the 
PYD).

Michael has missed the point that my comment was about the actual subject
line of this thread: Juan Cole, who David Graeber shows is systematically
demonizing the PKK and PYD and systematically whitewashing the Turkish
state. I think the egregious and clearly conscious nature of Cole’s
distortions in this regard is very significant, much more than making a big
deal about a picture of what seems like a tiny number of people in Afrin
holding pictures of Assad.

More generally I’m all for an evidenced-based and critical view of the
DFNS, Syria and any other topic. That’s why, as well as paying attention to
the totality of the views and currents of the Apoist current and not just
convenient snippets, I’ve paid attention to independent writers who’ve
spent time in Rojava and interviewed numerous people there, such as Anna
Flach, Michael Knapp and Ercan Ayboga (the Revolution in Rojava book and
many articles), UK socialist feminist Rahila Gupta, and Dutch journalists
Wladimir Wildenberg and Frederike Geerdink, as well as David Graeber.

Such people haven’t been useful idiots but critical analysts: Gupta has
criticised the somewhat odd Apoist analysis of women’s oppression and blind
eye to questions of sexuality and Graeber has pointed out the likely
contradictions ahead of purposefully building a dual-power type political
structure.

It’s also why I’ve pointed out on this list and elsewhere that’s there’s
some dubious “critiques” of and supposed damning facts about the Rojava
revolution that some of the left have spread about in an uncritical
kneejerk fashion. Off the top of my head these include:

* The view that Rojava was handed over in a secret deal, rather than seized
in the popular uprising that’s been described by eyewitnesses (ironically
enough this bit of folk lore is repeated by Graeber in the article of the
subject line here);

* The assertion by Assad a few years ago that he’s armed the YPG/J, and has
the documents to prove it, they’re laying around somewhere...;

* Roy Gutman’s laughable “expose” articles (from Istanbul not Rojava), the
only two non-anonymous sources in which soon after criticising his
distortion of their views;

* The clearly doctored smudgy long-shot photos and brief video clips of YPG
and SAA flags flying together in Aleppo;

* And now, taking a pic of a tiny number of unknown people as representive
of the views of a movement, rather than the clearly stated views of that
movement.

So I’ll take Michael’s points and references on board but I won’t
uncritically accept the veracity of the claims made without checking them
or uncritically accept his interpretations.

As mass murder takes place in Syria before the eyes of the world, 
civilian volunteers – such as the Syrian White Helmets – continue to be 
the subject of an extraordinary propaganda campaign. Instead of facts, 
this is dominated by fake news and a large dose of inhumanity.
